IMPORTANT:
The spotlight will operate while the 120 Volt AC Adapter is attached, but will continue to draw
power from the unit’s Lithium-Ion battery and will not continue charging while the spotlight operates. This
may cause the low voltage protection to activate and shut the spotlight down. Manufacturer recommends only
operating the unit in corded mode using the 12 Volt DC Adapter.
