Setup

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Towing Vehicle Installation

1. Before installing, check the battery power of each light by pressing the Power button. If less than two indicator lights turn on, charge each light fully before operation. A full charge will take 11 hours.

2. To help avoid scratches, clean the mounting locations and make sure the magnetic bases are free of debris before mounting.

3. Set the lights on the back of the vehicle being towed so that the red side of each light faces backward.

4. Each light is clearly marked with ‘Driver’ and ‘Passenger,’ indicating the side of the tow vehicle where they should be placed. Mount lights according to these markings.

5. Mount the tow lights high, whenever possible. Try to maintain a distance of 6 to 8 feet between the two tow lights. Choose a location that offers complete visibility to ALL following vehicles at ALL times.
   Note: Check your state’s regulations on tail light spacing.

6. CAUTION! Have an assistant operate the vehicle’s lights while you carefully check that the vehicle lights and the towing lights all work properly.

7. The tow lights should both light when the towing vehicle’s running lights are switched on.

8. The tow lights should both light brightly as you apply the brake.

9. The tow lights should flash brightly for left turn and right turn, AND match tow vehicle flashing with respect to driver side or passenger side.

If ANY function of the vehicle lights or towing lights does not work, do not drive the towing vehicle until all lights are repaired and retested successfully.

Charging

1. Insert the end of the Charging Cable into the charge port underneath each light.
2. Plug another end of the Charging Cable into the USB port of the Charger.
3. Plug Charger into a 2A electrical outlet.
4. To charge the lights while inside your vehicle, connect Charging Cable to the Cigarette Plug Charger.
5. Connect Cigarette Plug Charger to the vehicle’s cigarette plug, if provided.

   lights respond properly.
