CARE AND USE OF NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE (NiMH) BATTERIES*
• NiMH battery packs last longer when charged and stored in a temperature range
between 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C) away from heat, sunlight and humidity.
• Always charge batteries to full capacity before long-term storage (approximately 30 days)
to prevent aging. After storage they must be charged, which may require conditioning
(two or three charge/discharge cycles) to reach full capacity.
• Do not subject these batteries to repeated deep discharges that run the batteries down
completely on a regular basis as this will greatly shorten battery life.
• NiMH batteries generally have no voltage sag until the last 10% of charge. The lamp
usually will operate for better than 90% of the battery’s rated capacity.
• NiMHs have no toxic lead or mercury, and a life expectancy of 500 charge/discharge
cycles or more, provided the battery is not overcharged or heavily discharged. Recycle
according to local disposal laws. Do not dispose of in fire. They will explode.
WARNING: Be sure to use genuine TRITAN 365 replacement parts. Using another
manufacturer’s replacement parts could affect product performance and will void the
warranty.

REMOVING THE FILTER PROTECTOR
The outer rubber filter protector may be removed to clean the filter. Check to see that the
inner lamp-housing ring is secure. Grasp the rubber bumper and try to turn it clockwise.
If it remains in place, peel the bumper around its edge to remove it. The glass or filter will
remain inside the bumper.
REPLACING THE UV LENSES
The UV lenses (UL-100) that cover the three UV-A LEDs must be replaced periodically,
since they will solarize over time from repeated use. After removing the rubber filter
protector, remove the two screws on the faceplate of the LED lamp head assembly.
Replace the UV lenses and reattach the faceplate.
