GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Read all instructions before operating the spotlight. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURST HAZARD, OR INJURY TO PERSONS – WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

LED gets HOT quickly!
Do not touch the LED at any time when operating.
Only contact trigger when turning on.
Do not touch hot lens or enclosure.
Do not remain in light if skin feels warm.
Do not operate the spotlight with a missing or damaged lens or enclosure.
The spotlight and the supplied charging adapters are not toys and cannot be played with as toys.
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when these units are used near children.
Use only attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:

Use only the chargers supplied by the manufacturer to charge and recharge.
When an extension cord is used:
- The marked rating of the detachable power supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of this appliance.
- The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
- The extension cord should be kept dry and off the ground.
Do not store the unit or chargers outdoors.
Charge indoors only. Do not expose chargers to water or any other liquid.

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 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.
Never look directly into the light or shine the light into another person’s eyes.
Keep sharp objects away from lens — it can crack or break.
Do not expose this unit to extremely high temperatures.
Do not drop or throw spotlight. It contains a lithium-ion battery.
Use only with either the AC or DC charging adapter and USB charging cable that are provided with unit. Plug in the charging cable at the light first, then plug into the charging source.
After charging/recharging, disconnect charging adapter or extension cord and wait 5 minutes before use.
Do not crush, cut, pull or expose charging adapter cords to extreme heat.
Position charging adapter cords so they do not become entangled or become a safety hazard.
Keep charging adapter cords away from sharp edges.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to disassemble any other parts of the unit.
To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting.
Do not attempt to charge the unit if the charger or cord is damaged – return the charger to manufacturer for repair or replacement.

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 over discharge.

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.

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO WATERPROOF SPOTLIGHTS

The rubber “O” ring acts to preserve the waterproof qualities of the spotlight. The “O” ring seals the end cap to prevent water from entering the gap. An undamaged rubber “O” ring, rubber bezel and lens, and proper sealing of the end cap before use are very important.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:

Attempting to remove the rubber “O” ring; use of the unit with a damaged “O” ring, rubber bezel or lens; improper sealing of the waterproof end cap; and/or submerging this unit in depths greater than 6 feet may cause the unit to no longer be waterproof. Do not submerge the unit if these conditions exist or the unit could sustain permanent damage.
Submerging this unit in depths greater than 6 feet and/or operating it in water temperature other than between 41ºF and 104ºF (5ºC and 40ºC) could result in leakage, warping or malfunction, causing permanent damage to the spotlight.

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE 12V DC/USB CHARGING ADAPTER

CAUTION: TO AVOID THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE

NEVER CONNECT THE UNIT TO A POSITIVE GROUNDED VEHICLE.
The 12 Volt DC charging adapter must only be connected to batteries with a nominal output voltage of 12 volts. The unit will not operate from a 6 volt battery and will sustain permanent damage if connected to a 24 volt battery.
Always connect the 12 volt DC/USB charging adapter to the 12 volt DC power source before plugging any devices into it

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE USB PORTS

IMPORTANT: Some household USB-powered electronics will not operate with the USB ports provided with this device. Check the manual of the corresponding electronic device to confirm that it can be used with this type of USB port.
The USB ports do not support data communication. They only provide power to an external USB powered device (5VDC/2.1A using the USB port on the DC /USB charging adapter or 5VDC/1A using the AC/USB charging adapter). Make sure the rating of equipment plugged into the USB port does not exceed the amperage stated.
Always connect the appropriate charging adapter to either the 120 volt AC or 12 volt DC power source before plugging any devices into it.
Do not attach USB hubs allowing connection of multiple personal electronic devices to any of the USB ports on the charging adapters.
