Operating Instructions for CL24
CL24 is a battery operated LED lantern
which gives excellent light output and a long
operating time from the sealed lead/acid
batteries within.
There are two operating modes which have
1. high light output, and
2. a reduced output which extends the
operating time
The operating switch activates these modes by
successively pressing the operating button.
First press – Maximum output
Second press – reduced output
Third press - Off
CL24 has a handle for carrying, which includes
a pivoted hook to hang the lantern, and a
compass for direction finding.
It is recommended that the battery be charged
before first using the lantern, to ensure that the
battery is fully charged
Battery Charging Directions
The internal long life batteries are ideally to be
kept charged to preserve the battery capacity
and life.
During periods of inactivity it is essential
that the charging cycle be performed at least
monthly to ensure that the lead/acid batteries
do not permanently deteriorate due to internal
chemical reactions.
Charging can be performed by either activation
of the internal charging circuit from the mains
power supply or from a 12V vehicle accessory
outlet.
Simply plug in the connector at the end of the
Plug pack output lead, or the similar plug on the
vehicle accessory lead, to the charging socket
on the lantern.
The charging socket is located beneath the
operating switch.
Note: the lantern cannot be operated when the
charging cycle is being performed.
There is an indication of “Charge in progress”
by a red indicator located above the operating
switch.
When charging is complete this indicator will
no longer be illuminated, and the lantern is
again ready for use.
When charging the battery using the mains
supply adaptor it is advisable to allow an
overnight charging period. The mains adaptor
will not overcharge the battery since it will
automatically terminate charging when the
battery is fully charged.
Similarly the vehicle accessory lead can be
connected to the lantern until the charge
indicator is extinguished.
With due care and regular charging your
CL24 will give years of excellent service.
