CARE AND MAINTENANCE
All batteries lose charge with time, especially when they are warm. Recharge the unit every 30 days
when not in frequent use, preferably using the 120 volt AC method.
Never submerge the unit in water. If the unit gets dirty, gently clean the outer surfaces of the spotlight unit with a
soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent.
The quartz halogen bulb is the only user-replaceable part in the Spotlight. Periodically inspect the condition of
cords, connectors and wires. Contact Technical Support toll-free at 1-877-571-2391 to replace any components
that have become worn or broken.
Spotlight Bulb Replacement
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding with bulb replacement, check the filament to determine if the bulb needs
to be replaced.
To replace the bulb, you will need a small Phillips screwdriver and a 6 volt H3 75 watt replacement bulb. During
installation, avoid touching the glass part of the bulb. Bulb life may be shortened by installing a bulb with dirt or
fingerprints on it. The bulb can be wiped clean with a cloth moistened with alcohol.
