properly seated; and the waterproof end cap is securely in place.
• Never operate the spotlight in areas with high strength magnetic fields, such as in the vicinity of AC
power generator, etc.
• Never operate this spotlight at depths greater than 6 feet.
• Never operate this spotlight in water temperatures other than between 41ºF and104ºF (5ºC and
40ºC).

operating the spotlight
1. Disconnect from charger.
2. The on/off power knob is located in the front of the handle of the spotlight and underneath the
dimmer selector knob.
3. To turn on the spotlight, rotate the on/off power knob to the furthest position counterclockwise.
4. To turn off the spotlight, rotate the on/off power knob to the furthest position clockwise.
Note:
The battery/charge status LED indicator will light in one of three colors (as described in the "Reading the Battery/Charge Status
LED" section) to indicate the battery status. It is visible through the translucent waterproof end cap.
Using the dimmer selector
The dimmer selector knob that adjusts the light intensity is located above
the on/off power knob. Push and turn it to the left, then hold for 2 seconds
to select a brighter setting. Push and turn it to the right, then hold for
2 seconds to select a dimmer setting.* A "beep" will sound twice when
the spotlight has been adjusted to its minimum (dimmest) and maximum
(brightest) settings.
* The battery/charge status LED indicator will flash red to indicate the light is
adjusting to a brighter setting or flash green to indicate the light is adjusting to
a dimmer setting.
On a single charge, the spotlight will provide steady illumination for approximately 16 hours on its
minimum (dimmest) setting; approximately 1½ hours on its maximum (brightest) setting.

Make sure the unit is thoroughly dry before storage. If the unit has been submerged, wipe it dry with
a soft cloth.
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.
There are no user-replaceable parts. Periodically inspect the condition of adapters, connectors and
wires. Contact manufacturer to replace any components that have become worn or broken.
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 30 days.
