time during operation or storage by simply turning ON the area light. LED’s
willl light under the following conditions:
1. Automatically during AC recharge.
2. During area light operation.
6. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
All batteries lose charge over time, especially when they are warm. AC recharge is rec-
ommended every two months, when not in frequent use. Use the AC recharger and
charge for the recommended time. If the unit gets dirty gently clean the outer surface of
the spotlight unit with a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent.
Periodically inspect the condition of recharge adapters, connectors, and wires. Replace
any components that may have become worn or broken.
During AC recharge green LED will blink when charging is complete. Wait 5
minutes after disconnecting charger to operate unit.

Three parts are replaceable by users. The quartz halogen bulb and sealed lead acid battery
are proprietary and are available through Vector Products, Inc.. A substitute 12 volt H3 100
watt bulb may be used instead of a Vector bulb. These can also be purchased from popular
automotive parts suppliers nationwide. The DC charging adapter fuse is replaceable.
Contact Vector Products, Inc.’s Technical Support Department for replacement parts and any
additional information that you may need. They may be reached toll free 866-584-5504.

DC is not powering the plug or the fuse is opened.
To replace the fuse:
1. Unscrew the end cap of the DC plug (counterclockwise).
2. Remove spring center contact and fuse.
3. Check fuse with a continuity checker.
4. If blown, locate replacement fuse with same type and rating.
