Operating instructions
Operating the spotlight
IMPORTANT: While most HID spotlights take several
minutes to achieve optimal brightness, this spotlight will light
dimmer for approximately 15 seconds, then brighten slightly
to the correct brightness level. It was designed this way to
function quickly; the slight dimming is not a malfunction.

2. The on/off trigger is located in the front of the handle of
the spotlight.
3. To turn the spotlight on, squeeze the trigger.
4. To turn off the spotlight, release the trigger.
Note: The on/off trigger can be locked in the on position
using the trigger lock switch on the side of the unit.
Operating the unit corded
Plug the double pin tip of the supplied 12 volt DC adapter
into the 12 volt DC power and charging port. Insert the 12
volt DC plug end into the accessory outlet of your vehicle or
other 12 volt DC power source. Operate the unit as outlined
in the previous section.
Note: When the 12 volt DC adapter is not in use, stores the
12 volt DC plug in the storage compartment located at the

Using the carry lanyard (optional accessory)
The carry lanyard may be used to carry the unit or to hang it
for storage. Always adjust the slide on the cords to keep the
lanyard secure around any supporting object.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of product damage:
• When light is hung by the carry lanyard, do not shake the
spotlight or object that it is hanging from. Do not hang the
spotlight from any electrical wires or anything that it is not
secure.
• Only use the carry lanyard for hanging this spotlight. The
carry lanyard is not intended to support additional weight.
Do not attach or hang anything additional to the spotlight
or risk of breakage may occur.
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 60 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.
Battery replacement/disposal
Battery replacement
The battery should last the service life of the unit. Contact
manufacturer for any information you may need.
Safe battery disposal
Contains a maintenance-free, sealed, non-spillable, lead
acid battery, which must be disposed of properly. Recycling
is required, contact your local authority for information.
Failure to comply with local, state and federal regulations
can result in fines, or imprisonment.
WARNINGS:
• Do not dispose of the battery in fire as this may result in
an explosion.
• Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals
with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting
(shorting can result in injury or fire).
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may
explode.
12 volt DC charger plug fuse replacement
The fuse in the plug end of the 12 volt DC charger protects
the adapter’s charging circuit. If the 240V ac plug pack
charger operates, but the DC charging adapter does not,
then this fuse may be opened (blown).
To replace the fuse:
1. Unscrew the end cap of the DC plug (counterclockwise).
2. Remove spring centre contact and fuse.
3. Check fuse with a continuity checker.
4. If blown, locate a replacement 5 amp/250 volt fuse.
5. Replace the fuse, spring, contact and end cap.
6. Screw end cap clockwise until it is finger tight – DO NOT
OVER-TIGHTEN.
7. Test for proper operation of the 12 Volt DC Charging
Adapter.
Troubleshooting
The battery/charge status LED indicator does not flash
when charging
1. Check connection to the AC-to-DC charging port.
2. Check connection to AC power source.
3. Confirm there is a functioning AC current.
Note: The battery/charge status LED does not light or flash
when the unit is charging using the DC charging method.
