MAIN FUSE

This unit is delivered with the main fuse taped to the bottom of the unit. It must be inserted as indicated prior to operation.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The unit is delivered in a partially charged state. It must be fully charged prior to first use by either the 120 volt AC method (preferred) or the 12 volt DC method.

After initial charging, the VEC189 can be simultaneously recharged and operated (using the 12 Volt DC method only). Make sure the 12 volt DC power source can supply minimum 15 amperes of current if the Spotlight is to be operated while the batteries are being charged.

After charging, disconnect the Adapter from the external power source, then disconnect the Adapter from the AC Recharge Port or 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet.

12 VOLT DC ADAPTER

120 VOLT AC ADAPTER

120 Volt AC Charging/Recharging

Plug the supplied 120 Volt AC Adapter’s plug into a standard North American outlet. Connect the adapter’s DC port to the AC Recharge Port located on the top/rear of the grip handle. The LED will light to indicate that the unit is charging. Time required to initially charge the unit using this method is approximately 30 to 35 hours. The LED Charging Indicator will blink when the unit is fully charged. The

Spotlight cannot be used while recharging using this method.

12 Volt DC Charging/Recharging

The DC recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as the 120 volt AC method. The 12 volt DC recharging procedure is recommended only when it is necessary, since frequent use of the 12 volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the battery system’s life.

1.Insert the gold-tipped end plug of the12 Volt DC Adapter plug into the vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet.

2.Insert the silver-tipped end plug into the 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet on the back of the handle of the unit.

3.Charging time using this method is approximately 5 to 6 hours.

4.When charging is complete, remove the power cord and return it to the storage compartment.

Note: When using a vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet as a charging/power source, be aware that some vehicles require the ignition be turned on to power the accessory outlet.

CAUTION

Before charging/recharging the unit’s battery, make sure all power switches are in the OFF position.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Using the Spotlight

The quartz halogen Spotlight is operated by the two switches located on the side of the unit. The top ON/OFF Switch controls the high beam (100 watt) function; the bottom ON/OFF Switch controls the low beam (approx. 50 watt) function.
