120 Volt AC Charging/Recharging
Plug the supplied 120 Volt AC Adapter’s plug into a
standard North American outlet. Connect the
adapter’s DC port to the AC Recharge Port located
on the top/rear of the grip handle. The LED will light
to indicate that the unit is charging. Time required to
initially charge the unit using this method is
approximately 30 to 35 hours. The LED Charging
Indicator will blink when the unit is fully charged. The
Spotlight cannot be used while recharging
using this method.
12 Volt DC Charging/Recharging
The DC recharging method will NOT recharge the
unit as effectively as the 120 volt AC method. The 12
volt DC recharging 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.
1. Insert the gold-tipped end plug of the12 Volt DC
Adapter plug into the vehicle’s 12 volt DC
accessory outlet.
2. Insert the silver-tipped end plug into the 12 Volt DC Accessory Outlet on the back
of the handle of the unit.
3. Charging time using this method is approximately 5 to 6 hours.
4. When charging is complete, remove the power cord and return it to the storage
compartment.
Note: When using a vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet as a charging/power
source, be aware that some vehicles require the ignition be turned on to power
the accessory outlet.
CAUTION
Before charging/recharging the unit’s battery, make sure all power
switches are in the OFF position.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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

(approx. 60 watt) function.
CAUTION
When using the 12 Volt DC Adapter to power the Spotlight (corded mode), use the
Low Beam ONLY.

Controls and Functions
MAIN FUSE
The fuse configuration may vary based on the unit purchased.
Some Spotlights are delivered with the main fuse taped to the bottom
of the unit. It must be inserted as indicated in the
compartment shown in Figure 1 prior to operation.
Other units are shipped with the fuse installed inside the Battery
Compartment (as shown in Figure 2). Units with this configuration
feature a convenient storage shelf for an spare fuse.
If you suspect this main fuse is blown, check it and, if necessary,
replace it with a new 20 amp spade fuse.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
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.
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.
