The Nomad
®
Transformer
®
reaches a full charge in approximately 8 hours.
(Charge time may depend on ambient conditions and battery health).
Please DO NOT leave AC-DC Adaptor plugged into Nomad
®
charged for
more than eight (8) continuous hours.
Maintain the light fully charged at all times, so that it is ready for use in
the event of an emergency.
If used outdoors in cold weather for an extended period of time, allow the
Nomad
®
to warm up to above 10°C/50°F before charging.
Lithium-Ion batteries have a 500 full charge cycle life (CC followed by a
CV cycle)*. When the light gets near this number of cycles, there will be a
decrease in usage time. *CC=Constant Current charge (fast rate).
The lithium-Ion batteries have a top-off or micro-charge life of around
1,200 cycles or more (CV only)*. If the Nomad
®
is unused for 60 to 90
days, plug in the AC-DC Adaptor for 1 to 2 hours to bring the batteries
back up to peak charge. *CV=Constant Voltage charge (slow rate).
When charging your Nomad
®
, keep the temperature between 32
°
F and
113
°
F (0
°
C and 45
°
C).
If the AC-DC Adaptor or DC Cord is being used, disconnect it from the
Nomad
®
and store.
As needed, wash the Nomad
®
Transformer
®
using a soft washcloth, clean
water, and a mild soap. When done, pat dry with a soft cloth.
WARNINGS WHEN STORING
The Nomad
®
depends on “ambient air” for the cooling of its Light Head.
After being ON for a while, the Nomad
®
Transformer
®
Heatsink Fins
(which help disperse heat) behind the Light Head will become warm to
the touch (possibly hot) depending upon the run time, setting, and/or air
temperature. The warmer the ambient air temperature is, the faster the
head’s temperature will increase.
When it is time to put the Nomad
®
Transformer
®
away, either wait for the
unit to cool off (usually 10–20 min) or protect hands (with work gloves or
a cloth) when adjusting the Light Head.
Make sure to
turn OFF the Remote Switch to prevent battery drain OR
accidental activation.
