It is recommended that you charge the Spotlight after each use (or every 2 months
when not in frequent use) until the green LED lights so the unit is always ready when
you need it.
120 Volt AC Charging/Recharging
Plug the supplied 120 Volt AC Adapter’s plug into a
standard North American outlet. Connect the
Adapter’s DC barrel connector to the AC Recharge
Port located on the top/rear of the grip handle. Time
required to initially charge the unit using this method
is approximately 30 to 35 hours. The green
Charging LED Indicator will light when the unit is fully
charged.
The AC charging/recharging method
will not work while the Spotlight is in use.
12 Volt DC Charging/Recharging
The DC recharging method will NOT recharge the
unit as effectively as the 120 volt AC method. This
method is recommended only when it is necessary,
since frequent use of the 12 volt DC recharging
procedure may shorten the battery system’s life.
1. Insert the gold-tipped end plug of the 12 Volt DC
Charging/Power Adapter plug into the vehicle’s
12 volt DC accessory outlet.
2. Insert the silver-tipped end plug into the 12 Volt DC Charging/Power Port on the
back of the handle of the unit.
3. Charging time using this method is approximately 5 to 6 hours.
4. When charging is complete, remove the power cord immediately and return it to
the storage compartment.
The Spotlight CAN be used while recharging using the 12 Volt DC
method. If doing so, single beam operation is recommended.
Notes:
When using a vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet as a charging/power
source, be aware that some vehicles require the ignition be turned on to
power the accessory outlet.
CAUTION
Before connecting either Adapter to the VEC192 to charge or recharge
the unit’s battery, make sure all power switches are in the OFF
position.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
The unit is delivered in a partially charged state. It must be fully charged prior to first
use by either the 120 volt AC method (preferred) or the 12 volt DC method.
After initial charging, the
VEC192
can be simultaneously recharged (using the 12
Volt DC method only) and operated. When recharging and operating the Spotlight
at the same time, single beam operation is recommended.
When using the 12 volt DC recharging method, make sure the power source can
supply minimum 15 amperes of current if the Spotlight is to be operated while the
battery is being charged.
After charging, disconnect the Adapter from the external power source, then
disconnect the Adapter from the AC Recharge Port or 12 Volt DC Charging/Power
Port.
Checking Battery Charge Status
Plugging in either the 120 Volt AC Adapter turns on the LED Charging Indicators. Two
red LEDs indicate a moderate level of charge; and one red LED indicates that the unit
should be charged soon. The green LED lights to show a fully charged unit.
