Introduction
The Sima 3-Watt Universal Video
Light can be mounted on the
accessory shoe of any camcorder by
sliding it into place and tightening the
mounting screw. If your camcorder
does not have a shoe mount, the Sima
Video Bracket, (Model SVB-1)
available at most video stores or order
directly from Sima, will provide the
necessary mounting platform.
Batteries.
The SL-9 comes with two
rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries. The
batteries must be charged 4 to 6 hrs.
prior to use. Use the supplied AC
adapter/charger to charge the
batteries.
Installing the batteries
To install the batteries – slide open
the battery compartment located on
top of the unit. Insert two fresh AAA
size batteries according to the +/-
markings on the unit. Close top.
To charge the batteries:
1. Insert the jack on the power cord into the
power input jack on the side of the SL-9
(Fig. A). Red
LED indicator
light, located
below power
jack, will turn
on. Note:
indicator light
will not turn
off when
charging is complete.
2. Plug AC transformer into standard
120 VAC wall outlet.
3. Batteries must charge 4 to 6 hours before
fully charged.
4. Fully charged batteries will provide approx.
20 to 25 minutes continuous run time.
Note: Light does not work with AC adapter
plugged in unit’s power jack.
Warning! Do not overcharge. Unplug after 4-
8 hours charging.
Special Notes
The SL-9 video light can also be operated with
two standard AAA alkaline batteries. Running
time will be less than when using the
rechargeable NiMH batteries included with
your unit. If using non-rechargeable batteries,
do not use AC charger. Supplying current to
non-rechargeable batteries can cause them to
leak or explode and may damage the unit.
Warning! Never charge alkaline
batteries. Damage to AC charger or light
can occur.

Turn light on by sliding
the on/off switch up to
the ON position as shown
