LIMITED WARRANTY
Five Years
COMMAND LIGHT warrants that the equipment is free from defects in materials and workmanship
when used and operated for a period of five years. The responsibility of COMMAND LIGHT under this
limited warranty is limited to the repair and replacement of any parts found defective. Parts must be
returned to COMMAND LIGHT at 3842 Redman Drive, Ft Collins, Colorado 80524 with transportation
charges prepaid (C.O.D. shipments will not be accepted).
Prior to returning defective parts to COMMAND LIGHT, the original purchaser shall make a claim in
writing to COMMAND LIGHT at the above address indicating the model number, serial number and
type of defect. No parts or equipment will be received by COMMAND LIGHT for repair or replacement
under this warranty without specific written authority from it in advance.
Any parts damaged by improper installation, overloading, abuse or accident of any type or cause are not
covered by this warranty.
All equipment manufactured by us is tested before leaving our plant, and is shipped in good working
order and condition. We therefore extend to the original purchasers the following Limited Warranty for
the period of five years from the original date of purchase:
1. This warranty does not apply to defects caused by accident, misuse, neglect, or wear and
tear, nor can we be held responsible for incidental and consequential expense and loss, nor
does this warranty apply to equipment where alterations have been executed without our
knowledge or consent. These conditions are readily discernable when the equipment is
returned to us for inspection.
2. On all component parts not manufactured by COMMAND LIGHT, their warranty is to the
extent that the manufacturer of such component warrants them to COMMAND LIGHT, if
at all. Look in your local business telephone directory for the nearest repair station for the
brand of parts you have or write to us for the address.
3. If equipment received has been damaged in transit, a claim should be made against the
carrier within three days, as we assume no responsibility for such damage.
4. Any service other than our Authorized Service voids this warranty.
5. This warranty is in lieu of and is intended to exclude all other warranties, express or
implied, oral or written, including any warranties of MERCHANTIBILITY or FITNESS
for a particular purpose.
6. Travel time paid at a maximum of 50% and only if pre-approved.

Breakage or Damage During Shipment
The transportation company is fully responsible for all shipping damage and will resolve
problems promptly if you handle it correctly. Please read these instructions carefully.
Examine the contents of all shipping cases. If you find any damage, call your transportation
agent at once and have them make a description on the freight or express bill describing the
damage and the number of pieces. Then contact us and we will send you the original bill of
lading. Also promptly contact the transportation company and follow their procedure for
filing a claim. Each company will have a unique procedure to follow.
Please note, we cannot and will not enter claims for damages. If we filed claim here, it
would be sent to your local freight agent for verification and investigation. This time can be
saved by you filing the claim directly. Every consignee is on the ground floor, in contact
with the local agent who inspects the damaged goods, and thus, each claim can be given
individual attention.
Since our goods are packed to comply with the regulations of all railroad, truck, and express
companies, we cannot allow deduction from any invoice because of any damage, however,
be sure to file your claim promptly. Our goods are sold F.O.B. factory. We take receipt from
the transportation company certifying that the goods were delivered to them in good order
and our responsibility ceases.
It is seldom that any breakage or damage occurs in any of our shipments and in no case will
the customer be out any expense if they follow the above instructions.
Be sure to keep all damaged goods subject to examination of the truck or express company
inspector, who may call on you some time later. These damaged goods, of course, will
belong to them, and they will inform you what to do with them. If you dispose of these
damaged goods, your claim may not be paid.

Maintenance
Cleaning
The C-Lite is constructed with corrosion resistant aluminum and stainless steel fasteners. To
further enhance corrosion resistance all exposed surfaces receive a powder coated paint
finish. To assure years of trouble free service periodically clean all external surfaces with a
mild detergent solution and a gentle spray of water. DO NOT USE A HIGH-PRESSURE
WASHER, which will force water into sensitive electric circuitry.
Troubleshooting
If the C-Lite stops operating, disconnect and reconnect power. If operation does not resume,
test for a valid 12VDC power source and ground. If this does not remedy the issue, contact
Command Light at 1-800-797-7974 for Technical Support.

the back and sliding it towards the antenna.
