Using the dimmer selectors
The up and down arrows adjust the light intensity. The down arrow dims the light. The up arrow brightens the light. A “beep” will sound when the
spotlight has been adjusted to its minimum (dimmest) and maximum (brightest) settings.
On a single charge, the spotlight will provide steady illumination for approximately 10 hours on its minimum (dimmest) setting; approximately
50 minutes on its maximum (brightest) setting.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. When the unit is not in use, we recommend that
the battery is charged at least every 120 days.
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.
There are no user-replaceable parts. Periodically inspect the condition of adapters, connectors and wires. Contact manufacturer to replace any
components that have become worn or broken.
