, a truly remarkable portable
lantern. As with any fine instrument, reasonable care and maintenance of this product will provide years
of dependable service. Please read all instructions before using your Streamlight.
Important safety and
operating guidelines are included and should be saved for future reference.
Charge your lantern overnight before first use.
The LiteBox
®
is available in three basic systems: the Standard model, the Vehicle Mount model and the
Power Failure model. All come with a convenient charging rack that does not require LiteBox
®
disassembly
for charging. The battery is capable of being recharged up to 500 times.
The Standard and Vehicle Mount systems use the same basic lantern with different charging racks. The
Standard system comes complete with both AC 120 volt or 230 volt and DC 12 volt cigarette lighter power
cords and Standard type charge racks, which will accept these cords. The Vehicle Mount system comes
complete with a vehicle-mountable hardware charge rack. The Power Failure system lantern itself differs
electronically from the basic lantern, but uses the same charge rack as the Standard model. Both AC and
DC cords are included, but only the AC works in the power failure mode. The power failure feature of this
unit provides emergency lighting automatically when the power fails. It is one of the few units available
anywhere that gives you total portability in an emergency type lantern.
SAFETY
A. BEFORE USING YOUR LANTERN AND CHARGER, READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL
AND ALL CAUTIONARY MARKINGS ON THE CHARGER.
B.
caution
:
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, DO NOT attempt to recharge
your lantern with any chargers other than those supplied by Streamlight. Likewise, do not attempt to
charge any other product with Streamlight chargers.
C.
warning
:
Never leave your lantern with its lamp face against any surface including skin while in
operation. The resultant heat build-up can cause a fire or burns.
D. Careful observation of the lantern’s charge indicator LEDs serve as an important warning of possible
charge circuit malfunction which may cause battery overcharging. The green LED should turn “on”
steadily and the red LED should turn “off” completely within 24 hours. If the red LED stays “on” past
this time, remove the lantern from service and return it immediately to an authorized Streamlight repair
center or the factory for evaluation and repair. In extremely rare circumstances, an overcharged battery
may release a flammable hydrogen gas mixture. In the unlikely event that this mixture should ignite,
bodily injury could result.
E. The lantern should not be switched on and off during charging unless only the green LED is lighted.
F. Remove the lantern from the charger holder (rack) before attempting any cleaning or routine
maintenance. Do not try to repair the lantern or charger yourself. Take it to a qualified repair facility or
return it to the Streamlight factory.
G. Recycle the battery responsibly when no longer serviceable.
DO NOT INCINERATE THE BATTERY
EVEN IF IT IS SEVERELY DAMAGED OR COMPLETELY WORN OUT
. The battery can explode in a
fire. Recycle properly.
H. Handle the battery carefully and never allow it to short circuit. A shorted battery can deliver hundreds of
amperes of current which can easily start a fire.
CHARGING AND OPERATION
Charge your lantern overnight before first use. Charging will occur only when the lamp is “off.” Charge
indicator LEDs are located on the right side of the handle, underneath the information label. The red LED
indicates that the lantern is charging. The green LED indicates the lantern is fully charged and ready for use.
