Product Manual
Using mode button
•
Look through the ends of the clear light casing. One end has a red button inside; the other has a
USB receptacle for charging.
•
Press button briefly to turn on, or change modes.
•
Hold one second to turn off.
Remove end for charging.
•
The end cap that covers the USB charging has a bayonet style fitment; twist to release.
•
The cap may get water or dirt within the mechansism, but this should not pass the o-ring seal. If
the cap becomes dirty, it can be washed while the unit is on charge.
•
Remember to re-seat the o-ring if it comes out during washing.
•
If o-ring ever needs replacing, it is a hard-to-find 50-duro part. Spare parts are available at the
NiteFlux website.
Charging
•
Power for charging the Red Zone is passed into the USB socket. You can use a USB port on
any computer, iPod charger, 5V car adapter or similar. Anything with a USB socket and 5V,
500mA rating or higher will work. Some 5V chargers (eg Motorolla, Garmin) have the same
USB plug (USB mini) and will also do a good job.
•
NiteFlux provides a short (USB mini) cable. Other suitable USB mini cables are widely
available in other lengths. You may have other cables at home or office with USB mini on one
end. There is no special cable properties required. Any USB mini cable will normally work
well.
•
During charging, orange LED indicator means charge in progress. Plain green indicates charge
done. It is normal for the orange to blink on again from time to time. This indicates charge is
being topped up or maintained.
•
Charge before use. The Red Zone can be recharged at any time. There is no need to wait for
batteries to finish any sort of cycle.
