Instructions for use Hartenberger High-Tech-UW-Lamp nano compact
If the switch is pushed to the right (+) for longer (approx. 1 second), the lamp will
turn on to the highest brightness stage (125%).
If the switch is pushed for approx 1 second to the left, the lamp will switch off
immediately.
If the switched is pressed down for approx. 3 seconds, the LEDs will show the
brightness currently set.

After another 3 seconds, the display then indicates the current cell pack capacity.
When the lamp is turned off, the LED display will also switch off. Sliding the
switch to the left will then activate the LED display and shows the current cell
pack capacity, this remains visible for approx 3 seconds.
SOS WARNING / DISTRESS SIGNAL
The electronics have the facility to transmit an SOS signal in Morse alphabet
(2 x short, 3 x long, 3 x short).
If the switched is pressed for an extended time (approx. 5 seconds) to the right
(+), this function is activated and the lamp begins to blink SOS.
Pressing the switch to the left (-) for approx. 1 seconds stops the SOS signal.
The time that the lamp will generate the SOS signal is approx. 3 times longer than
the continuous burning time of the halogen bulb fitted. When the cell pack is
almost fully discharged, the SOS signal will fade and dim. Only use the SOS
function in a distress or emergency situation. If the lamp fades, turn the
signal off and only turn it back on when help is in sight.
EMERGENCY LIGHTING (AUTOMATIC)
The lamp’s electronics will automatically sense a defective bulb and will
automatically turn on all the LEDs. This serves as an emergency source of light
for reading instrumentation or for orientation in a very dark environment. To turn
the emergency lighting off, push the switch to the left (-). Pushing the switch to
the right (+) will reactivate the emergency light.
EMERGENCY LIGHTING (MANUAL)
The emergency light (all 4 LEDs are illuminated continuously) may be activated
manually. Push the switch to the left for approx. 5 seconds. This emergency light
will last longer than the normal bulb burning time and will provide you with an
emergency source of light for reading instrumentation or for orientation in a very
dark environment. To turn the emergency lighting off, push the switch to the
left (-). The emergency light function will not activate after the lamp has turned off
automatically in the discharge protection mode.
OVER-VOLTAGE / DIMMER
The HLX bulbs which we use have a much greater efficiency than standard
halogen bulbs. Using a 6 cell power pack, we have a power supply of 7,2 volts.
This allows the 6v bulb to be operated continuusly with an over-voltage of approx.
6,8 volts. The electronics switch the bulb on slowly thus preventing the coil in the
bulb from burning out. The resulting increase in brightness is approx. 30% more
than the stated power. The micro controller can accurately monitor the energy
dissipation to the bulb and ensures a continuous colour temperature over the
entire discharge process and operation. The life expectancy of the bulb of approx.
100 hours is not reduced. Using the lamp at reduced power settings saves energy
and extends the burning time in a single charge cycle. Permanently operating the
lamp at reduced power settings will however produce a grey coating on the bulb’s
