CHARGING

CAUTION BURN HAZARD. Use only genuine LiteBox® mounting racks and the cords specified below. Any other AC charger, including other Streamlight chargers, may overheat and fail or cause a burn hazard.

• H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL use ONLY a 12V vehicle power source with Streamlight DC charge cord 22050 (USE 2A FUSE) or Streamlight AC charge cords 22085 IEC TYPE A, 22086 IEC TYPE C, 22087 IEC TYPE G, 22048 IEC TYPE

• To charge the H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL, first turn it off and insert it into the charger. H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL will only fit one (1) way into the mounting rack. Charging will occur only when the switch is “off.”

• The H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL may also be charged without using the mounting rack by plugging the charge cord directly into the socket in the rear of the H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL. To release the light from the mounting rack, push the black release bar down, slide the light away from the release bar and lift up.

• The H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL is available in two basic systems: the Standard model and the Vehicle model and they come with convenient recharging racks that also securely store the H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL.

• The battery is rated at a nominal 7 ampere-hours and is capable of being recharged up to 500 times. The switch is on the left side of the handle. A pair of charging indicators is located on the opposite side underneath the information label. The red LED means that the light is charging. The green LED means it is charged and ready for use. It is important to under-stand that a battery can take from only minutes to a maximum of 24 hours to fully charge depending on the battery’s residual charge and other factors. Near the end of charge, both the red and green LEDs may be on at the same time. When fully charged, the red LED should turn “off” completely and  the green LED should turn “on” steadily.
  Note : The battery will continue to charge while the light is being operated in external power mode.

• The H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL may be stored in the charger continuously when not in use. While the lead-acid battery supplied with the H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL has been specifically selected to tolerate deep discharges, the battery should be charged as soon as possible after use to ensure maximum service life. The battery should never be “exercised” in an attempt to erase “memory” which does not occur with lead-acid batteries.

• The rechargeable battery contained in this product is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various country and state laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery in the municipal solid waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal (In USA: RBRC).

CHARGE CORD SAFETY

• Don’t abuse the cord.
• Replace damaged cords or plugs immediately.
• Remove light from charge before attempting any routine cleaning or maintenance. Do not try to repair the unit or cord yourself. Take it to a qualified service facility or return it to the factory

MOUNTING THE CHARGER (VEHICLES)

Before drilling any holes, make sure there is room to insert and remove the H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL. Four (4) self-tapping 1 1/4” #8 screws are included with each mounting rack and should be sufficient for most mounting situations. Should your mounting situation require heavier hardware, use #8 machine screws. The recommended mounting positions are from horizontal to vertical (with the lamp end facing up).

VEHICULAR CHARGING
CAUTION

• Before making electrical connections in a vehicle, keep in mind that a shorted auto battery can easily start a fire. Make all connections with type-approved connectors intended for such service. Be sure that your installation is fused (A ten ampere fuse must be used on the posi-tive lead). The red or red striped lead is positive and the unmarked lead is negative. When connecting the charger to a fuse block, the red positive power lead goes to the connector that is dead when the vehicle’s fuse is removed. The charger body is electrically isolated from the charge circuit and allows positive ground installations.
• This charger is available with two (2) plug-in DC power cords: a cigarette lighter plug or direct wire for permanent installation. Streamlight recommends connecting chargers to an unswitched source of power to ensure the H.I.D. LiteBox®/E Flood® LiteBox® HL is always fully charged. If the vehicle will not be driven for several days, the H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL should be removed from the charger to avoid vehicle battery drain.
• Charging the H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL with a fully discharged battery draws approximate-ly 3 ampere hours until fully charged and up to ¼ ampere continuously in maintenance (green) mode.
  Note : The H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL draws approximately 7 ampere hours while charging/operating in the external power mode.

USING THE LIGHT
NOTICE Fully charge the battery before first use.

• H.I.D. LiteBox®/E-Flood® LiteBox® HL features a 3 position switch that controls the operation of the lamp. Push the switch upward to operate from the internal battery or downward to operate from external 12VDC power via the supplied 10 foot cord.
• The center position is the “off” position.
• Depending on the actual ballast and lamp used in the H.I.D. LiteBox®, the H.I.D. lamp may flash in-termittently or suddenly extinguish altogether at the end of the H.I.D. run time (internal battery only).
• The H.I.D. LiteBox® features a swivel head that rotates 270 degrees. Pull side tabs to release. DO NOT force the head beyond its swivel stops. Resecure the head when not in use.
• The E-Flood® LiteBox® HL features a pivoting head that can be adjusted upward or downward as desired. Loosen the handle mounted pivot control knob and direct the head to the desired position. Tighten the knob to maintain the adjustment.
• The center of the lens on the E-Flood® LiteBox® HL is equipped with a concentric switch that is used to select the brightness setting (Hi-Med-Lo). Depress the center of the switch to select the desired output. The outer ring of the switch can be turned to adjust the beam spread.
