Charging
•
Turn light off before charging, and keep power off during charging.
•
Open the rubber waterproof cover located at the bottom of the light (on end cap), connect the male jack of charger
to the female receptacle. (Caution, use only the supplied chargers, do not use other chargers as this will cause
battery failure, and cause the battery to overheat and possibly explode).
•
Connect the charger plug to AC wall power or the DC power source (if DC charger is being used).
•
Charging time will be approximately 3.75 hours to full capacity. When the charge is complete, (indicated by Green
LED), unplug the charger from the power source, disconnect the battery jack from the flashlight, and replace the
rubber cap of the female receptor (on end cap) to prevent the ingress of water.
•
The optional battery charger stand may be used to charge a spare Lithium Battery with either the AC or DC battery
chargers.
•
While charger is not in use disconnect the power supply. Do not leave the battery on the charger past full charge
indication. Overcharge can shorten the lifespan of the battery.
Battery Replacement
•
To remove the battery, turn off the power, carefully rotate the battery counter clockwise away from the ballast
housing.
•
To replace the battery, be careful to line up the battery with the ballast and rotate the battery clockwise on to the
ballast housing, be careful not to cross thread. Tighten snugly, DO NOT FORCE OR OVER TIGHTEN as damage
will occur and you will void any warranty you may have.
Note:
While replacing the battery, please make sure that your flashlight is in the "OFF" position, otherwise damage can
result to the lithium battery, electronic ballast and electrical connection between ballast and lamp.
Batteries can be
charged and discharged for hundred of times. When a noticeable drop in battery performance occurs it is time to
replace the battery module. We recommend you change the battery once a year depending on usage. Shorter
durations may be necessary with extensive use of the light. Do not short circuit the battery. A short circuit will occur
when the two electrodes on either end of the battery come in contact with each other by metal (such as coins,
clips, pens, keys or necklaces, etc). This will cause damage and burnouts.
Lamp and Ballast Replacement
•
Before replacing lamp, make sure the light is "OFF" for a minimum of 10 minutes or longer to ensure any stored
power has dissipated, to avoid electric shock from stored energy in the ballast, and temperature of lens has cooled
enough to avoid being burned from high temperature.
•
The lens cap has a "fine thread". Grasp the lamp-head-housing (serrated edge behind lens protector), with one
hand while grasping the lens cap in the other, rotate the lens cap counter clockwise to access the lamp. While
removing the lens cap, be careful not to drop lens, spacer and lamp to avoid damage.
•
While installing the lamp module, inspect the rubber o-rings for chaffing or breakage, replace if signs of wear.
There is a plastic spacer between the lens and the outer reflector. The flat side faces the lens and the slotted side
faces the reflector. Check the rubber seal under the clear lens for wear or breakage, replace if signs of wear. A
dab of silicon lubricant or low mineral petroleum jelly should be used on the threads of the light head before
replacing the lens cap. Be careful not to cross thread and DO NOT FORCE, or you will void any warranty you may
have and your light will be rendered inoperative.
Overcharge Notice
When turning on your light for the first time after a full recharge, and it does not ignite properly, reconnect the male jack
of AC charger to the female receptacle of the flashlight and plug the charger into AC power source and rapidly press the
on/off switch until the light ignites. Turn off the light and disconnect the charger. These procedures need to be followed
when the light is in an overcharge condition caused when left on the charger past a full charge indication. A safety circuit
is built into the battery to protect from overcharging the Lithium Ion battery.
