CHARGING
Fully charge your flashlight before first use. Several charge/discharge cycles may be needed to achieve
full battery capacity. The flashlight may be stored in the charger continuously when not in use. To
charge the flashlight, first turn it off and insert it into the charger. The triangular plate on the head fits
into a mating recess in the charger. With the plate toward the charger, slip the barrel of the light
between the charger arms and pull downward until it locks into place. The red LED on the charger
housing must light to insure that the battery is being charged. Keep the flashlight and charger contacts
clean at all times. Poor contact can cause charger malfunctions. An abrasive pencil eraser works well to
clean the contacts. It should be fully charged in 12 hours. Red LED remains on as long as flashlight is in
the charger.
FAST CHARGER
The optional fast charger will charge a fully depleted battery within 3 hours. When the flashlight is
inserted into the fast charger, the red LED on the charger will blink rapidly a few times and then light
steadily, indicating the fast charge rate is being applied. When the charger senses that the battery has
received a full charge, the charger switches to a lower maintenance rate and the red LED blinks. A
secondary safety circuit will discontinue the fast rate after approximately 3.5 hours if for any reason the
primary circuit fails to terminate the fast charge.
NOTE:
Observe the red LED:
If the LED does not blink rapidly and continuously, indicating a full charge, within 3.25 hours
check the contacts and the charger’s power supply wiring. If no obvious problem is found,
return the system for service.
Proper function of the fast charge circuitry can be determined by inserting a flashlight into the
charger for at least 5 minutes. Turn the flashlight “on” and the red LED should switch to blink
mode within 5 minutes. The fast charger is equipped with circuitry to prevent fast charging in
temperature extremes (below 40° F and above 115°
When temperature is within the acceptable range fast charging will begin.
Before mounting the charger in a vehicle, please read the following sections:
CHARGER MOUNTING
The Charger should never be mounted against any heat sensitive surface. Before drilling any holes, make
sure there is room to insert and remove the flashlight. Two (2) self‐tapping 8 x 2” screws are included to
mount the charger. The correct size hole for these screws in sheet metal is 1/8”.
