Bring power leads and light cable through hole and plug into back of control.
NOTE:
To eliminate electrical interference produced by other electronic components on the
boat that might affect the searchlight control, route the searchlight control cable to the light
away from other components such as radios, GPS receivers and other navigation units.

LIGHT OPERATION
IMPORTANT
– Do not shine the searchlight in any manner that will impair the vision of other boat
operators.
The running light switch for the boat must be “ON” for searchlight to operate. With the running
light switch “ON”, the searchlight will be illuminated.
SPOT/SLOW – Press once to select slow light movement and, on spot/flood type lights, to select
flood beam. On lights with spot beam only, this button selects the fast speed only. Press again to
turn light off.
DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENT – The center lever is moved left, right, forward, and back to move
light head. If desired, the center lever can be unscrewed (counter-clockwise) and the black cap
(supplied) can be pressed into the center hole. The light movement is then controlled by
touching one of the four arrows.
AUTO SWEEP – With the light on, pushing this button will sweep the light in about a 90° arc
automatically. This is useful in narrow canals and channels, freeing both hands for boat control.
Press again to stop auto sweep.
SOS/DISTRESS – Press and hold for about 5 seconds to automatically flash SOS signal. The SOS
signal will not be transmitted with the boats running lights “OFF”.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The searchlight control has a built-in circuit breaker protection for the searchlight. The breaker
can be reset by turning the light on then off with the running lights on.
On 24 VDC lights, do not operate the light at less than 18 volts. Turn off the light before
recharging battery.
