6.2 LANTERN OPERATION DETATCHED FROM MAIN UNIT
The lantern may be removed for use away from the main unit by first sliding the top latch back
and then lifting the Lantern. as shown in Figure 8.
FIGURE 8
A barrel connector near the spring contacts on the back of the Lantern accepts either the AC
recharge or DC inverter power cable’s lantern extension cord. If there is a current applied through
the barrel receptacle, and the lantern’s on/oFF switch is on, the Lantern will light.
6.2.1 LANTERN OPERATION FROM DC SOURCE
The lantern can be powered from the main unit using the inverter power cable with attached
lantern extension cord. This allows great flexibility in positioning the lantern during tire inflation
and during under-the-hood inspections. (See Figure 9) If an alternative 12 volt DC source is avail-
able, the lantern can be powered from a standard 12 volt accessory socket. The lantern draws
11 watts so operation from an automobile battery is very efficient. With a full charge, a typical
auto battery can power the lantern from 40 to 60 hours.

6.2.2 LANTERN OPERATION 120V WITH AC RECHARGE ADAPTER
The AC recharger can be directly connected to the
lantern using the barrel receptacle on the lantern.
The Lantern can be powered using the AC recharge
Adapter if household AC power is available. Powering
the lantern from an AC source preserves the charge on
the main unit’s internal battery.
