operating the spotlight
The spotlight is an 800,000 candlepower light.
To operate the spotlight, the power switch must be in the “ON”
position. Set the spotlight switch (Figure 1) to the "ON" posi-
tion. The spotlight is hinged to allow flexibility in aiming the
beam. Simply take hold of the base of the spotlight and rotate
it downward to the position you want.
2. recharging the Dynamo
If the yellow LED indicator light is lit, then the battery power
is low and requires recharging. The battery can be recharged
from an AC outlet or from a DC source, such as a car battery.
recharging the Dynamo with ac current
(wall outlet)
Recharging the Dynamo with an AC current outlet requires
the included AC adapter. Do not use substitute adapters to
charge the Dynamo.
Press the power switch into the “CHA”, or charge position. Then
plug the small end of the AC adapter into the charge input jack
(Figure 1) and plug the pronged end of the adapter into a 120-
volt AC wall outlet. The red “charging” LED light should come
on indicating that the battery is charging. Charging for the first
time may take up to 14-16 hours. Subsequent charges should
only take 8-10 hours. The green “Ready to Use” LED light will
shine when the battery is fully charged. Do not exceed 20 hours
of charging time.
recharging the Dynamo with Dc current
Recharging the Dynamo with DC current should be done with
the cigarette lighter receptacle in an automobile. The car’s engine
must be operating to properly charge the battery.
Recharging the Dynamo with DC requires the supplied DC
recharging adapter. Open the panel in the back of the Dynamo
and remove the DC adapter. Press the power switch on the
Dynamo into the “CHA” position. Plug the small end of the DC
adapter into the charge input jack (Figure 1). Make certain the
car engine is running, then plug the other end of the DC adapter
into the cigarette lighter receptacle in the car. The red “Charging”
LED light will come on indicating that the battery is charging.
Charging should take about 5-8 hours the first time you charge
the Dynamo. Subsequent charges should only take 6 hours,
unless the Dynamo is severely drained. The green “Ready to
Use” LED light will shine when the battery is fully charged. Do
not exceed the recommended charge time.
3. using the Dynamo to
Help start a Vehicle
The Dynamo can be used to help start a vehicle that has a
drained battery. This is not a “jump start” in the classic sense;
instead the car receives a trickle charge from the battery. The
Dynamo does not have sufficient power to charge a severely
drained car battery. You will need jumper cables to use the
Dynamo in this manner.
to use the Dynamo to help start a vehicle:
1) Set the power switch to either the “ON” or “OFF” position.
2) Connect the Positive pole (+) on the Dynamo (Figure 3) to
the Positive pole (+) on the car battery.
3) Connect the Negative pole (-) on the Dynamo to the
Negative pole (-) on the car battery.
4) Leave the Dynamo attached for approximately 20 minutes.
5) Disconnect the cable from the Negative pole (-) of the car
battery.
6) Disconnect the cable from Positive pole (+) of the car
battery.
The charge should be enough to allow starting of the vehicle.
Remove the jumper cables from the Dynamo and recharge.
4. storage and Maintenance
To optimize the lifetime of the Dynamo, several steps should
be taken for its proper storage and maintenance. Make certain
the power switch is in the “OFF” position before putting the
Dynamo in storage. Keep stored a dry, cool area when not
in use. Fully charge the Dynamo before putting it into stor-
age. If you are going to store the Dynamo for long periods of
time, you should occasionally recharge it (about every three
months). Failure to do so will void your warranty.
resetting the circuit Breaker
If the power indicator LED light does not come on when you
turn on the power switch, the circuit breaker (Figure 1) will
need to be reset. Turn the power switch to the “OFF” posi-
tion and press the circuit breaker button to reset it. Keep in
mind that if you are drawing more than 10 Amps through the
12V/10A adapters you will always cause the circuit breaker to
break.
replacing the 2‑amp Fuse
If the fuse for the 3V/6V/9V power jacks should blow, it can
be replaced with a new 2-amp fuse. Turn the fuse-securing
knob (Figure 1) in the indicated direction to free the old fuse.
Replace it with the new fuse. Replace the fuse securing knob.
replacing the Flashlight Bulb
Should the flashlight bulb break or burn out, it can be replaced
with a 12V, .5A Krypton bulb, available at most hardware
stores. Make certain the power switch is in the “OFF” position
before replacing the bulb.
To replace the bulb, unthread the flashlight head (Figure 1) by
turning it counterclockwise. Make certain the old bulb has had
time to cool down. Replace the old bulb with the new bulb and
thread the flashlight head back onto the flashlight.
