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.

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

MAIN FUSE

The fuse configuration may vary based on the unit purchased.

Some Spotlights are delivered with the main fuse taped to the bottom of the unit. It must be inserted as indicated in the compartment shown in Figure 1 prior to operation.

Other units are shipped with the fuse installed inside the Battery Compartment (as shown in Figure 2). Units with this configuration feature a convenient storage shelf for an spare fuse.

If you suspect this main fuse is blown, check it and, if necessary, replace it with a new 20 amp spade fuse.

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

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

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 (130 watt) function; the bottom ON/OFF Switch controls the low beam (approx. 60 watt) function.

CAUTION

When using the 12 Volt DC Adapter to power the Spotlight (corded mode), use the Low Beam ONLY.
