when lit.  
2. Never look directly into light or shine the light into another persons eyes.  
3. Replace bulb with type indicated in specifications or a 12 volt H3 quartz  
halogen bulb.  
4. Do not immerse this spotlight in water. This unit is not waterproof – it is water  
resistant.  
5. Do not substitute power cords or charging adapters. Only charge with supplied  
AC and DC charging adapters. Charging adapters for this unit supply 12  
volts DC.  
6. Keep children away from spotlight. This is not a toy!  
7. Lens gets very hot when spotlight is operating. Do not touch lens while operating.  
8. Keep combustibles away from spotlight lens – extreme heat can cause fires.  
9. Keep sharp objects away from lens – it is glass and can break.  
10. Do not drop or throw spotlight. It contains glass and a sealed lead acid battery.  
11. Dispose of unusable batteries in a responsible manner. See battery disposal  
section.  
12. Do not crush, cut, pull or expose charging adapter cords to extreme heat.  
13. Position charge adapter cords so that they do not become entangled or become  
a safety hazard.

DC PLUG FUSE REPLACEMEN T  
SCREW S  
The fuse in the DC plug protects the charging circuit of the DC recharge adapter. If  
the AC recharger operates but the DC charging adapter does not, then the fuse may  
be opened.  
BULB  
To replace the fuse:  
REFLECTO R  
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.  
5. Replace the fuse, spring, contact and end cap.  
6. Screw end cap clockwise until it is finger tight – DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.  
7. Check for proper operation of DC charger adapter.  
PERIO DIC MAIN TEN AN CE  
All batteries lose charge with time, especially when they are warm. AC recharge is  
recommended 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  
surfaces 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.  
TRO UBLESHO O TIN G  
No red charge light  
If red LED does not turn on when charging do the following:  
A) Check for bad connection to the spotlight recharge port  
B) Check for bad connection to AC or DC adapters  
C) Confirm there is a functioning AC or DC current  
PARTS REPLACEMEN T  
One part is user replaceable. The quartz halogen bulb is proprietary and is  
available through Vector. A substitute 12 volt H3 75 watt bulb may be used in  
place of a existing bulb. These can be purchased from popular automotive parts  
suppliers nationwide. Contact Technical Support for replacement parts and any  
additional information you may need. They may be reached at (954) 584-4446 or  
toll free at (866) 584-5504.
