2. Then, plug the Barrel Connector (part of the AC-DC Adaptor) into the Charging Port of the Nomad ® NOW.
    Input voltage: 11–17VDC. Do NOT exceed!
    The Nomad® NOW is shipped with a 30% charge. It is important to charge it before using it for the first time.
   When the Charge Indicator FLASHES green it indicates that the Battery Pack is being charged. When the Nomad is completely charged, the Charge Indicator will turn solid green.
    Charging time will be approximately 4 hours.

CHARGING FROM A 12VDC VEHICLE ADAPTOR

1. Insert the 12VDC Vehicle Adaptor into a 12V socket (located within the vehicle).

• Please DO NOT leave AC-DC Adaptor plugged in to Nomad charged for more than eight (8) continuous hours.
• Continuously charging (leaving the unit plugged in) could damage the Battery Pack and lead to a decreased battery life.
• Extended periods of charge could also result in the batteries being placed in thermal runaway mode.
• Use of any non FoxFury supplied AC-DC charger will VOID Product Warranty.

AC-DC ADAPTOR AND INTERNATIONAL USE
The Nomad® Series has a AC-DC Adaptor which uses AC Cables like those used in desktop computers or monitors. With every Nomad® , FoxFury supplies a cable that terminates in the USA standard 110 VAC plug.

The plug of the AC Cable should be country-specific. Example: IEC Types A-N. The Female Connector side of the AC Cable must be IEC Type C13 to mate with the Male Inlet of the AC-DC Adaptor.

 MEDIUM mode: From LOW mode, press the Power/Mode Switch once.
 HIGH mode: From MEDIUM mode, press the Power/Mode Switch once.
 OFF: From HIGH mode, press the Power/Mode Switch once.
NOTE: The light does not retain the mode in memory. Once the light is ON, re- select the mode desired.

BATTERY LIFE

*Battery Pack life may vary according to age and ambient conditions.

BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR

USING THE NOMAD ® NOW WHILE PLUGGED IN

MAINTENANCE

REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK
4 MINS ESTIMATED
At the end of the Battery Packs’s life (which is about 500+ full charges), the Battery Pack will stop holding a charge and will need replacing.

Make sure the Nomad® NOW is turned OFF before starting.

1. Begin with the back of the Nomad® NOW facing you. Locate the eight (8) screws on the rear panel.
2. Use a Phillips Head(+) #1 screwdriver to unscrew and remove the eight (8) screws. Then, remove the rear panel.
3. Once the rear panel is removed, notice a black strap, which holds the Battery Pack in place. There is one (1) screw on each side of the strap. Remove both using the same Phillips Head screwdriver. This will then release the Battery Pack strap.
4. Pull the Battery Pack out of the Nomad ® Body. Then, detach it from the light by unclipping the Connector.

REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
4 MINS ESTIMATED

1. Attach the new Battery Pack to the light by re-clipping it the Connector. Then, place the new Battery Pack back inside the Nomad® NOW.
2. Place the black strap over the Battery Pack. Then, re-insert and tighten the two (2) screws.
3. Place the rear panel back onto the Nomad® NOW. Align as needed (it will only properly fit in one direction). Re-insert and tighten the eight (8) screws using a Phillips screwdriver.

NOTE: Remember to test the light’s performance by activating the Power/Mode Switch.

REMOVING THE SLIDING DIFFUSER LENS
3 MINS ESTIMATED

1. Slide the Sliding Diffuser Lens back into the ‘Area’ setting. Locate and remove the four (4) screws located on each side of it.

MAINTENANCE (CONT’D)

GENERAL TIPS
 The Nomad® NOW reaches a full charge in approximately 4 hours. (Charge time may depend on ambient conditions and battery health).
 Please DO NOT leave AC-DC Adaptor plugged into Nomad charged for more than eight (8) continuous hours.
 Maintain the light fully charged at all times, so that it is ready for use in the event of an emergency.
 If used outdoors in cold weather for an extended period of time allow the Nomad® to warm up to above 10°C/50°F before charging.
 Lithium-Ion batteries have a 500 full charge cycle life (CC followed by a CV cycle). When the light gets near this number of cycles, there will be a decrease in usage time. CC=Constant Current charge (fast rate)
 The Lithium-Ion batteries have a top-off or micro-charge life of around 1,200 cycles or more (CV only). If the Nomad is un-used for 60 to 90 days, plug in the AC-DC Adaptor for 1 to 2 hours to bring the batteries back up to peak charge. CV=Constant Voltage charge (slow rate)
 As needed, wash the Nomad® NOW using a soft washcloth, clean water and a mild soap. When done, pat dry with a soft cloth.

STORING THE NOMAD ® NOW
Make sure the light is powered OFF by pressing the Power/Mode Switch until the light is no longer ON.
Press the Remote Switch to turn OFF the remote. If it is not turned OFF, the battery will drain over time.
If the AC-DC Adaptor or 12VDC Vehicle Adaptor Cable is being used, disconnect it from the Nomad ® NOW and store.

WARNINGS WHEN STORING
The Nomad® depends on “ambient air” for cooling of its Light Head. After being ON for a while, the Nomad® NOWs Heatsink Fins (which help disperse heat) behind the Light Head will become warm to the touch (possibly hot). This depends on the run time, setting, and/or air temperature. The warmer the ambient air temperature is, the faster the Light Head’s temperature will increase.
 When it is time to put the Nomad® NOW away, either wait for the unit to cool off (usually 10 – 20 min) or protect hands (with work gloves or a cloth) while adjusting the Light Head.
