SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURST HAZARD, OR INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY:
Lithium-ion batteries are small, compact and ideal for providing long-lasting power to this unit. However, they must be used
and charged properly. Improper use can result in serious injury, fire, or death.
• Lithium-ion batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition. Do not use the product in the presence of an open
flame.
• Do not place this lithium-ion battery powered unit in fire or apply heat to it.
• Do not subject this lithium-ion battery powered unit to strong impacts or shocks. The battery in this unit contains safety and
protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite.
• Do not expose the lithium-ion battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.
• Avoid storing this lithium-ion battery powered unit in the basement, bathroom or other areas of the house that are or may
become wet or where humidity and moisture may concentrate.
• Do not leave this lithium-ion battery powered unit in direct sunlight, or use or store the unit inside cars in hot weather. Doing
so may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of
performance and a shortened life expectancy.
• Never charge this unit near heat or flammable objects.
•
NEVER THROW WATER ON A BURNING LI-ION BATTERY! If a lithium-ion battery does catch on fire, it will burn even more
violently if it comes in contact with water or even moisture in the air. A fire extinguisher must be used.
Battery Charging and Capacity
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time.
When stored at room temperature with a full charge, Li-ion batteries will begin to discharge from the time they are manufactured,
even when unused. Deep discharges also decrease their capacity. Battery life can be extended by the following:
• Charge battery to full capacity before storage.
• Optimal storage temperature for this unit is between 5°C and 20°C (41°F and 68°F).
• Never discharge the battery fully.
• Charge after each use.
• Always charge at least once every 3-6 months if not in frequent use to prevent overdischarge.
Transportation of Lithium-Ion Batteries
• Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before transporting a unit containing a Lithium-Ion
battery.
• Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery may, in certain cases, be specifically limited or prohibited.
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO WATERPROOF SPOTLIGHTS
The Rubber Bezel acts to preserve the waterproof qualities of the spotlight. It prevents water from entering the spotlight.
Check that the Rubber Bezel is undamaged before use.
CAUTION – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Any of the following could cause the spotlight to no longer be waterproof; and/or result in leakage, warping or
malfunction, causing permanent damage to the unit:
• Attempting to remove the Rubber Bezel;
• Use of the unit with any damaged parts;
• Submerging this unit in depths greater than 6 feet;
• Submerging this unit for longer than 4 hours; or
• Operating this unit in water temperature other than between 41ºF and 104ºF (5ºC and 40ºC).

WARNING – RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURST HAZARD, OR INJURY TO PERSONS – WHEN USING ELECTRICAL
APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when the spotlight is used near children.
• Use only attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
• Do not store the unit or chargers outdoors.
• Charge indoors only. Do not expose chargers to water or any other liquid.
• Use only the charger supplied by the manufacturer to recharge.
• When an extension cord is used:
– The marked rating of the detachable power supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of this appliance.
– The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over,
snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
– The extension cord should be kept dry and off the ground.
WARNING – FIRE HAZARD:

CAUTION – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• LED gets hot quickly. Do not touch hot lens, guard or enclosure.
• Never place the light face down on any surface when lit, charging or not in use. Never store the light face down on any
surface.
• Never operate this spotlight unless all parts are intact.
• Never operate the spotlight in areas with high strength magnetic fields, such as in the vicinity of AC power generator, etc.
• Never look directly into the light or shine the light into another person’s eyes.
• Keep sharp objects away from lens — it can crack or break.
