This unit is shipped in a partially charged state. Charge unit using either
AC or DC method until the green LED lights. Charge after each use. Initial

3. OPERATION
The swivel action of the unit keeps the lamp head securely in position for use
while carrying, or while on tabletop. The range of swivel motion is greater than
90 degrees with five locking positions. The spotlight position (upright) focuses
light straight ahead. The lantern position (spotlight tilted forward 90 degrees)
floods light in a 360-degree pattern for reading, cooking, and tailgating, etc.
A three-position switch (Spotlight, Off, Lantern) controls on/off operation of
both lights. The switch is protected by a flexible covering that protects it from
dust, dirt and moisture. This ensures reliability and extends the life of the switch.
The Spot Light can be continuously lit for up to 20 minutes on a full battery
charge; the lantern can be lit for up to five (5) hours on a full battery charge.
Either light can be operated during DC recharge.
4. RECHARGE
All batteries lose charge over time, especially when they are warm. Frequent
battery recharges will extend battery life. AC recharge is recommended every
two months, when not in frequent use. Use the AC recharge adapter and
charge until battery is full. AC and DC recharge connections are through a
heavy-duty barrel receptacle at the lower rear of the unit. See figure 5A. Two
LED indicators display the status of recharge. Continue recharge operation until
the two LEDS are equally bright. See figure 1A.
10. Check the spotlight operation by reconnecting the battery and turning On the
switch.
7. LANTERN TUBE REPLACEMENT
The Lantern fluorescent tube is mounted on a socket assembly. Power is sent to
the tube socket through the two support rods. It is very important to make sure
the Lantern switch is turned off before removing the end cap. If there are any
doubts about the On/Off switch being Off, then skip to the Battery Removal
section and disconnect the battery before removing the end cap.
WARNING:
FLUORESCENT TUBES OPERATE WITH HIGH VOLTAGE.
DO NOT REMOVE END CAP UNLESS POWER IS OFF
