Introduction
The Sima Xenon Universal Video
Light Model SL-9X 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) can
provide a mounting platform. The SL-
9X also comes with a universal clip for
use with camera phones.
Batteries.
The SL-9X comes with two
rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries. The
batteries must be charged 8 to 10 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 the two 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 the
power jack, will
turn on.
2. Plug AC
transformer into
standard 120
VAC wall outlet.
3. Batteries must charge 8 to 10 hours before
fully charged. Note: indicator light will not
turn off when charging is complete.
4. Fully charged batteries will provide approx.
20 to 25 minutes continuous run time.

Special Notes
The SL-9X 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,
