• Do not clean this appliance with a water spray or the like.
• Use only the charging cable supplied by the manufacturer to charge and recharge. Plug in the charging cable at the light first, then plug into the charging source.
• WARNING! Fire hazard
• Never contact combustible material to the lens.
• Keep spotlight lamp away from materials that may burn.
• CAUTION! To reduce the risk of injury or property damage:
•  All lights give off heat:
  •  Do not touch the lens while operating.
  •  Keep combustibles away from spotlight lens. Extreme heat can cause fires.
  • Never place the light face down on any surface when lit, charging or not in use. Never store the light face down on any surface.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES

• WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, burst hazard, or injury to persons or property. Lithium-ion batteries are small, compact and ideal for providing long-lasting power to this unit. However, they must be used and charged properly. Improper use can result in serious injury, fire, or death.
• Lithium-ion batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition. Do not use the product in the presence of an open flame.
• Do not place this lithium-ion battery powered unit in fire or apply heat to it.
• Do not subject this lithium-ion battery powered unit to strong impacts or shocks. The battery in this unit contains safety and protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite.
• Do not expose this lithium-ion battery powered unit to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.
• Avoid storing this lithium-ion battery powered unit in the basement, bathroom or other areas of the house that are or may become wet or humid or where moisture may concentrate.
• Do not leave this lithium-ion battery powered unit in direct sunlight, or use or store the unit inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
• Never charge this unit near heat or flammable objects.
• NEVER THROW WATER ON A BURNING LI-ION BATTERY
• If a lithium-ion battery does catch on fire, it will burn even more violently if it comes in contact with water or even
  moisture in the air. A fire extinguisher must be used.
• Battery Charging and Capacity
• This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. When stored at room temperature with a full charge, Li-ion batteries will will begin to discharge from the time they are manufactured, even when unused. Deep discharges also decrease their capacity. Battery life can be extended by the following:
• Charge battery to full capacity before storage.
• Optimal storage temperature for this unit is between 5°C and 20°C (41°F and 68°F).
• Never discharge the battery fully.
• Charge after each use.
• Always charge at least once every 3-6 months if not in frequent use to prevent overdischarge. Transportation of Lithium-Ion Batteries
• Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before transporting a unit containing a Lithium-Ion battery.
• Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery may, in certain cases, be specifically limited or prohibited.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

READING THE BATTERY/CHARGE STATUS LED INDICATOR

The battery and charging status LED indicator is located on the back of the unit. It lights or flashes in three colors to indicate the following

When charging

• Green: Battery is in a fully charged state.
• Green (flashing): Battery is in a high partially charged state.
• Orange (flashing): Battery is in a low partially charged state.
• Red (flashing): Battery needs to be recharged.
• Red (flashing rapidly): The battery of the unit is overheated due to extensive use or recharging. The charging process will stop at this stage and will automatically resume after a cool down period.

When operating

• Green: Battery is operating at full voltage.
• Orange: Battery is operating at partial voltage.
• Red: Battery is operating at low voltage, and should be recharged or the built-in low voltage protection will be activated and the unit will automatically shut down shortly.
• Red (flashing rapidly): The battery of the unit is overheated (due to extensive use or recharging), or is too cold (the ambient temperature has dropped below –20°C). Operation will stop at this stage.

CHARGING/RECHARGING THE SPOTLIGHT

• This unit is shipped in a partially charged state. Charge unit after purchase and BEFORE first use until the battery/charge status LED indicator lights green. Recharge after each use until the battery/charge status LED indicator lights green.
• IMPORTANT: When the unit is not in use, we recommend that the battery is charged at least every 3 to 6 months.
• CAUTION! To reduce the risk of injury or property damage:
• Never place the light face down on any surface when charging.
• Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor performance.

Charging/recharging using the USB charging cable and a device with a USB power port (not supplied)

1. Make sure the spotlight is off.
2. Insert the micro-USB plug of the USB charging cable into the micro USB charging port on the back of spotlight.
3. Insert the regular USB plug of the USB charging cable into a device’s functional USB power port. The battery/charge status LED indicator will light or flash in one of three colors (as described in the “Reading the Battery/Charge Status LED Indicator” section) to indicate the charging status.
4. Charge until the battery/charge status LED indicator lights green.
5. When charging is complete, disconnect the USB charging cable from the device’s USB power port and the spotlight. Store the cable in a safe place.

OPERATING THE SPOTLIGHT

The On/Off Trigger turns the light on and off and is also used to select the light mode.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE WHILE CHARGING

Disconnect the USB charging cable, then select the light mode as follows:

IMPORTANT – To protect the unit’s internal battery from damage and save energy

• If the light’s battery voltage is nearly low, the unit will switch automatically to Low Light Mode even if the High Light Mode has been selected.
• If the light’s battery voltage is low, the built-in low voltage protection will activate after a short period of operation, then the unit will automatically shut down. Recharge the battery before continuing use.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. When the unit is not in use, we recommend that the battery is charged at least every 3 to 6 months.
