4.1 AC RECHARGE
The AC Recharge adapter provides 300 mA at 12 Volts DC for recharging the
batteries. Power the AC Recharger from a standard, 110 volt, 60 Hz AC North
American receptacle. The AC recharger will not support lamp operation. Do
not operate the lamps while the AC Recharger is connected to the Recharge
Port. Charge with lamps Off until LEDs are equally bright. This steady recharge
will prolong battery life. Only use the supplied AC Recharger—DO NOT
SUBSTITUTE WITH ANOTHER. SEE FIGURE 2A

The DC Recharge adapter provides 12 Volts DC for simultaneously recharging
the batteries and operating either light. Power the DC Recharger from a stan-
dard, 12-volt DC cigarette lighter type accessory socket. Charge until LEDs are
equally bright. After recharge, either disconnect the DC recharger or leave
connected and continue to operate either light. Only use the supplied DC
Recharger - do not substitute with another. The DC Recharge Adapter’s DC Plug
is equipped with a user-replaceable 10-ampere fuse. SEE FIGURE 2B
