OPERATION - QUICK START

Press once     to switch on and again to switch off. Whenever the unit is first switched on it will 
default to the 100% brightness setting regardless of how the unit was last used. At switch on you 
will hear a bleep from the unit to signal all is well (a second double bleep will be heard if the unit 
is on charge at the same time), the status LED near to the on/off switch will illuminate to show the 
units state of charge. Note when the K8 is switched on the battery status always takes precedent 
over the charging status.

Use the second ‘brightness’ button     to scroll through the three settings of 100%, 66% and 33%, 
each press of the button changes to the next setting.
 
Note: always remember to put your K8 LED on charge after use (Whether used for a short period 
or the full duration) to prolong the life of the high capacity rechargeable battery. This is especially 
important if you have purchased a sealed lead acid (SLA) battery, as leaving an SLA battery in a 
discharged state for more than 24 hours has a detrimental effect on its capacity and lifespan.

CHARGING YOUR K8 LED

Your K8 LED is supplied with a bespoke docking charge rack to provide a convenient and secure 
way to store and charge it. This multifunctional rack can be used as a stand alone unit to sit upon 
a desk/bench, or can be fixed to a wall or inside a vehicle as a secure permanent fixture.
The charge rack can be separated from the right angle support stand by undoing the two M6 bolts 
(see fig 1 below).

Once separated the same holes can be used to mount the charge rack with or without the right 
angled stand to a wall or other fixed location. Take care not to over tighten the fixings and mount 
on a flat/level surface so the charge rack/stand aren’t distorted or damaged.

Please note your K8 LED and its docking charge rack should be located outside of the passenger 
compartment on a vehicle so they don’t form an obstruction or danger to the occupants in the 
event of an accident or sudden stop.
