The DC recharging method will NOT recharge the
unit as effectively as the 120 volt AC method. The 12
volt DC recha rging procedure is recommended
only when it is necessary, since frequent use of the
12 volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the
battery system’s life.

Usin g th e Sp o tlig h t
The unit is delivered in a partially charged state. It must be fully charged prior to first
use by either the 120 volt AC method (preferred) or the 12 volt DC method.
The quartz halogen Spotlight is operated by the two switches located
on the side of the unit. The top ON/ OFF Switch controls the high beam
(130 watt) function; the bottom ON/ OFF Switch controls the low beam
(approx. 60 watt) function.
After charging, disconnect the Adapter from the external power source, then
disconnect the Adapter from the AC Recharge Port or 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet.
