5.PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
All batteries lose charge over time, especially when they are warm. AC recharge is recommended every two months, when not in frequent use. Use the AC recharger and charge for the recom- mended time. If the unit gets dirty gently clean the outer surface of the spotlight unit with a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent. Periodically inspect the condition of recharge adapters, connectors, and wires. Replace any components that may have become worn or broken.
