The Auxiliary Light will turn on when pressed while charging. Be sure all
adapters are disconnected before Spotlight usage.
2. If the unit does not operate, the battery may be completely discharged. Charge
the unit using the AC adapter following the directions in the manual.
3. If you suspect a bulb is blown, check the bulb filament. If filament is coiled and
unbroken, the bulb is not blown. If filament is blown, replace bulb.

new 20 amp spade fuse.
