• Princeton Tec calculates total burn time as the time it takes for the light source to produce
a minimum of 0.25 lux at 2 meters. 0.25 lux is about the equivalent of a full moon on a clear night.
• Princeton Tec berechnet die Gesamtbrenndauer bezogen auf eine von der Stirnlampe
erzeugte minimale Beleuchtungsstärke von 0,25 Lux in 2 Meter Abstand. 0,25 Lux
entsprechen in etwa der Beleuchtungsstärke des Vollmonds in einer klaren Nacht.
• Princeton Tec définit la durée totale d’éclairage comme le temps nécessaire à la source
lumineuse pour produire un minimum de 0,25 lux à 2 mètres. 0,25 lux équivaut à peu près à
la luminosité d’une pleine lune dans un ciel nocturne dégagé.

* The times listed in this chart assume you start with fresh batteries and use
only one mode.
* Les durées mentionnées dans le présent tableau sont calculées sur la
base de l’utilisation de piles neuves et d’un seul mode d’éclairage.

dass Sie neue Batterien und lediglich eine Leuchtstärke verwenden.
Battery Installation
– See Battery Installation Diagram
• 4 AAA
• Alkaline (LR03)
• Lithium (L92)
• Rechargeable NiCad or NiMH
NOTE: Rechargeable NiCad or NiMH batteries may result in
reduced brightness due to lower nominal voltage.
Princeton Tec cares about the environment and
recommends recycling batteries. For more information about
battery recycling, please go to: www.batteryrecycling.com
To install the batteries, rotate the lens cap counter clock wise
to remove it. Remove the module from the light to access the
battery compartment.
Install Four AAA batteries according to the polarity markings
on the inside of the battery compartment. Improper
installation of the batteries will damage the light and void the
warranty.
Place the module into the light body. Reinstall the lens cap
onto the body, rotating the lens clockwise until the lens is
snug. Do not over tighten the lens cap!
WARNING
• Never mix fresh and used batteries.
• Never mix different battery brands or chemistry
types.
• Always remove drained batteries immediately.
• Remove batteries during long periods of storage.
NOTE: Lithium batteries offer extended constant
brightness time, extreme cold weather performance,
and lighter weight. Rechargeable NiCad or NiMH
batteries may result in reduced brightness due to
lower nominal voltage.
Some battery formulations can emit hydrogen gas. This gas
can create an explosion potential in sealed devices if it is not
vented or removed. The platinum catalyst installed in this
light will remove the gas.
Switch Operation – See Switch Operation diagram
A quick press of the button will turn the light on. To change
from high to low, press the button again. You may switch
between the two settings without extinguishing the light. To
turn the light off, press and hold the button until the light
goes out. (about two seconds)
Circuitry and Power Consumption / Regulated LEDs
The AMP 3.5 uses a sophisticated current regulating circuit
that maintains initial brightness as long as the batteries have
sufficient voltage.
Regulated LEDs - Provide steady light output over a given
time period.
Non-Regulated LEDs – Have constantly diminishing light
over the same time period.
Regulated burn time is dependent on the battery type and
light level selected. As battery power diminishes, the different
modes (high and low) may appear to have the same
brightness level. This is a normal function of the Regulated
LED/Current controlled circuit. Replacing the drained
batteries with fresh ones will restore the full light function.
Refer to the burn time chart for performance data for different
battery types and mode settings.
O-Ring and Lens Cap
Occasionally clean and lightly lubricate the O-ring and Lens
Cap threads. Use only silicone grease, never use aerosol
spray lubricants. Certain types of aerosol sprays can cause
damage the plastic and void the warranty.
General Maintenance
As with any outdoor equipment, the light should be kept
clean with mild soap and water. Avoid getting dirt on the o
ring and in the threads of the lens cap. If this should occur,
take the light apart, remove the o ring, light module and
batteries, then clean the light body, lens and o ring
re-lubricate the o-ring and reassemble the light.
Troubleshooting
If the Amp 3.5 fails to light:
• Check the batteries for proper installation.
• Replace batteries if proper installation is confirmed.
• Check the light for water contamination. The light will
resume normal operation once the water is shaken or blown
out and the light is left open until completely dry. If the light
has been contaminated with salt water, flush the unit with
fresh water and dry as described above.
