STORING YOUR NOMAD
®
Make sure the light is powered OFF by pressing the Power/Mode Switch
until the light is no longer ON.
Be sure to position the Light Head into the upright position BEFORE
lowering the Tripo-Scope
®
Poles in the body.
Put the Nomad
®
back into the Stored Position. Lower the Tripo-Scope
®
Poles by untightening the Tripo-Scope
®
Tightening Rings. Then, push the
Light Head back into the Locking Sleeve.
If the AC-DC Adaptor or 12VDC Cigarette Lighter Cable is being used,
disconnect it from the Nomad
®
and store.
WARNINGS WHEN STORING
The Nomad
®
depends on “ambient air” for cooling of its Light Head. After
being ON for a while, the Nomad
®
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
®
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.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS
The Nomad
®
reaches a full charge in approximately 5 hours. (Charge time
may depend on ambient conditions and battery health).
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)
As needed, wash the Nomad
®
using a soft washcloth, clean water and a
mild soap. When done, pat dry with a soft cloth.
