instrument for specialized applications, so please
be aware of these cautionary statements.

POLARION Portable Searchlight
Caution
󳢯 The light becomes very hot during operation, so please be
careful when handling the light. Be sure not to touch the
hot surfaces.
󳢯 When not in use for extended periods, please store in a cool
place with at least 50% of the charge left in the battery.
󳢯 Do not aim the light at someone’s eye at close range.
󳢯 Be sure to keep the front lens clean. If it becomes dirty, use
rubbing alcohol to thoroughly clean it.
󳢯 Be sure the light is off when exchanging the battery pack.
󳢯 The front lens is made of specially tempered glass, but
should it ever break, please be careful and replace it as soon
as possible.
󳢯 Be sure to check if all caps are properly sealed and
completely tight before using the light in harsh conditions
(underwater, storms, etc). Failure to do so can not only
affect the performance of the light, but may cause the light
to fail completely under certain circumstances. Damaged
o-rings and gaskets can also lead to light failure so use
caution and maintain all seals.
󳢯 Make sure the watertight seals are properly tightened and
maintained (see page 8 for more information).
󳢯 Do not try to disassemble the light. This will void your factory
warranty.
󳢯 If water ever gets into the light, do not use it. Contact your
supplier immediately.

■ Turning the light On/Off
󳢯 Be sure to fully charge the battery before initial use.
󳢯 Turn the rotary switch in either direction to operate the light.
󳢯 The battery charge level is displayed through the tail cap
for 5 seconds after the light is turned on.
■ Charging the Battery
Open the tail cap and remove the battery. Plug the
connector of the charging unit into the socket of the battery.
󳢯 There are a total of 6 LEDs on the battery that monitor the
battery and charging status.
󳢯 The right most LED indicates the charging status. RED
indicates that the light is charging. GREEN indicates that
the light is fully charged.
󳢯 Each of the 5 other LEDs indicate the charge level. Each
LED represents approximately 20% of the charge. So 1
LED = 20%, 2 LEDs = 40%, 3 LEDs = 60% and so on.
󳢯 The battery should fully charge in about 3 hours. If it is not
fully charged even after 5 hours, please contact your supplier.
󳢯 Be sure to completely remove the battery before charging.
󳢯 Be sure to charge the battery in a dry area. If there is any
moisture on the charger or battery, make sure it is
completely dry before charging.
󳢯 After the battery has been charged,replace the battery
inside the main body and be sure to completely tighten
the tail cap to ensure a weathertight seal.
■ When using the AC Charger
󳢯 The charger is a universal charger with an input range of 100V
~ 240V, 50 ~ 60Hz. Although it should cover most countries,
please check to see if your power source is within this range.
󳢯 Charging should be done indoors and out of the elements.
󳢯 The charger is not waterproof.
󳢯 The charger can get warm during charging, so make sure
there are no flammable materials around it.
󳢯 Charging should be done in a well ventilated area.

POLARION Portable Searchlight
The Polarion Abyss™uses Gaskets and O-rings in
critical areas for optimal performance
underwater. All units are tested before they
leave the factory, but please follow these guide
lines for proper maintenance.
❶Do not disassemble the light. This can affect water
resistance significantly. It can also void your warranty.
❷When replacing the battery pack, follow the instructions
carefully and make sure the tailcap is screwed on correctly
and fully tightened before use.
❸Check the tailcap thoroughly after each charge.
❹If there is any water leak due to improper seals, stop usage
immediately. Not only can this ruin the light, but it can be
extremely dangerous. Please use caution.
❺To ensure proper performance, please keep the o-rings
well lubricated at all times. We also recommend that you
replace both o-rings every 6 months.
❻Dirt and debris can accumulate inside the switch
mechanism after continued use. Please remove the switch
and clean according to the instructions. Lubricate the
switch and reassemble.
❼Be sure to have the light tested every year to ensure peak
performance. Please contact your local dealer for details.
❽Be sure to clean the light thoroughly after each use. Be
especially thorough after marine applications. Use soap and
water to clean out any remaining salt.
Water Resistance

Your Polarion searchlight comes with a high
performance Li-ion rechargeable battery pack.
Under ideal conditions, it will have a life cycle of
approximately 500 charges. When the battery
performance is significantly reduced, you should
get a new battery.
Your Polarion searchlight is supplied with one
battery, but you can use an extra battery
(optional) for additional runtime.
❶Turn off the searchlight.
❷Remove the tail cap.
❸Remove the battery pack and replace it with the new (or
extra) battery pack. Be sure you insert the battery in the
direction of the arrow.
❹Replace the tail cap. Be sure to align the screws correctly,
and tighten it all the way. There is a weather seal at the
end, so keep turning until you can’t turn it any more. This
will ensure a tight seal.
❺When storing the battery, please keep it so that no foreign
material can get into the charging port.
< Important >
Storing a completely drained battery for extended periods will degrade the life of
the battery. If you wish to store the battery for extended periods, make sure that
the battery level is above 50% and store in a cool dry place.
Changing the Battery Pack
The life of the lamp is rated at 2000+ hours, which
will give you years of worry free operation.
However, if the need arises that you need a new
lamp, please contact your supplier.
Changing the lamp is a very delicate process and
can be very dangerous if not done correctly.
It is not a user serviceable item.

■The light doesn’t turn on.
Check to see if the battery is inserted correctly. Check whether the tail cap is
aligned correctly and screwed in all the way. Check to see if the battery is
drained. If it is, recharge the battery and operate as normal.
■There is a “whine” when I turn on the light.
The“whining”sound is the ballast starting up. This is normal. The sound should
go away after a few seconds.
■The battery will not charge.
Check to see if all the plugs and connectors are tightly plugged in.
■The run time is shorter than advertised.
Check to see if the battery is fully charged. Remember, even if all 5“level
indicator LEDs”are lit, you must wait for the“charge status LED”(the right most
LED) to turn green. Your Polarion searchlight uses state-of-the-art Li-ion batteries,
but after repeated use, the batteries will slowly decrease in run time.
■While using the light on land, it turns off after 20~30 mins.
Because the Polarion Abyss™is designed for underwater use, prolonged use on
land can cause overheating. When this occurs, it simply triggers the thermal
protection circuit and will shut down. It will return to normal operation once the
light has cooled down.
■There is moisture condensation inside the light
If there is a sudden change in temperature, there can be temporary moisture that
shows up on the inside of the light, much like moisture forming on the outside of
a cold glass of water. This is normal and should go away during normal
operation. If there is more condensation than normal, open the tail cap and let
the searchlight dry for a couple of hours.
※If any of the problems listed above still persists after troubleshooting, please stop using the
light and contact your supplier. DO NOT try to service the light yourself. It will void the
warranty.
Product Warranty
Main Unit - 1 year
Battery - 6 months
The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear;
intentional misuse or tampering by the user; or acts of God.
Your supplier can provide you with information about
servicing lights that are out of warranty for a nominal fee.
