RECHARGING THE UNIT
Your spotlight is supplied with two charging adapters. One adapter is powered by standard
115 volts AC. This is the AC/DC Charging Adapter. The other charging adapter is the DC/DC
Charging Adapter. This adapter has a user-replaceable fuse in the DC plug that connects to a
cigarette lighter outlet (accessory outlet).
Be sure to charge the unit completely before the first
use (charge for 24 hours).
This step will prolong the life of the internal battery. Use the AC/DC
Charging Adapter for the first charge.
AC Charging
The AC/DC adapter provides a slow steady charge to the unit. Do not operate the lamp while
the AC/DC Charging Adapter is charging the lamp, you may damage the charging adapter and
discharge the lamp’s batteries. Charge for a maximum of sixteen hours; DO NOT overcharge.
1. Make sure that all switches are set to “O”, the off position.
2. Using the AC/DC adaptor, insert the DC end into the Charging Jack (next to the flare
light).
3. Plug the AC end into a wall outlet.
4. The red Charging LED light will come on to indicate the lamp is charging.
DC Charging
Any 12 Volt DC power outlets, such as in vehicles, boats, and jump starters can charge this lamp
using the DC/DC Charging Adapter. For full charge, the power source must be from a vehicle
or boat DC outlet and the engine should be running. Charge for five hours maximum; DO NOT
overcharge.
1. Make sure that all switches are set to “O”, the off position.
2. Using the DC/DC charger, insert the DC end into the Charging Jack (next to the flare
light).
