* Princeton Tec calculates total burn time as the time it takes for the light source to produce a
minimum of 0.25 lux at 2 meters. 0.25 lux is about the equivalent of a full moon on a clear night.
* Princeton Tec berechnet die Gesamtbrenndauer bezogen auf eine von der Stirnlampe erzeugte
minimale Beleuchtungsstärke von 0,25 Lux in 2 Meter Abstand. 0,25 Lux entsprechen in etwa
der Beleuchtungsstärke des Vollmonds in einer klaren Nacht.
* Princeton Tec définit la durée totale d’éclairage comme le temps nécessaire à la source
lumineuse pour produire un minimum de 0,25 lux à 2 mètres. 0,25 lux équivaut à peu près à la
luminosité d’une pleine lune dans un ciel nocturne dégagé.
Battery Installation – See Battery Installation Diagram
• 3 AAA
• Alkaline (LR03)
• Rechargeable NiCad or NiMH
Princeton Tec cares about the environment and
recommends recycling batteries. For more information
about battery recycling, please go to:
www.batteryrecycling.com
To install the batteries, unlatch the battery door. Open the
Remix case by popping the door latch over the catch and
rotate the door open.
Install three AAA batteries according to the polarity
markings on the inside of the cabinet. Observe proper
battery polarity when installing the batteries. Improper
installation of the batteries will damage the light and void
the warranty.
Rotate the door to the closed position, squeeze the body
between your forefingers and thumb to snap the door
latch over the catch.
WARNING
• Never mix fresh and used batteries.
• Never mix different battery brands or
chemistry types.
• Always remove drained batteries immediately.
• Remove batteries during long periods of storage.
NOTE: Rechargeable NiCad or NiMH batteries may
result in reduced brightness due to lower nominal
voltage.
Switch Operation – See Switch Operation diagram
The Fred has two light sources to choose from, one red
Ultrabright LED or 3 white Ultrabright LEDs. Each light
source has two modes (High and Low).
• To switch between the Red LED and the 3 white LEDs
-Press and hold the button until the light source
changes. Release the button when the appropriate
source is lit. The light will remain on this LED source
(allowing you to cycle though the modes) until you
decide to change it.
• Modes (High and Low) are selected by pressing and
releasing the button within 1.5 seconds of the
previous button press, if more than two seconds has
passed since the previous button press the next
press will turn the light off.
• There are two ways to turn the Fred off. You can cycle
through the modes until you reach off, or if the light has
been on for more than two seconds the next button
press will turn the light off.
• Note about changing batteries for lights with Red or
Green 5mm Ultrabright: To ensure the Ultrabright LEDs
turn on first, remove the old batteries, press and hold
the button down for three seconds to discharge the
capacitor on the circuit. Install the new batteries and
close the battery door. The light will now default to the
Ultrabright turning on first.
**The times listed on the rear of the package assume you
have start with fresh batteries and use only one mode.
