#5756 Adjustable Brightness Astro Flashlight
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The DualBeam LED is a handy tool for amateur astronomers. It has four LEDs (light-emitting diodes), two white and two red, and a thumbwheel to adjust brightness. Turn the brightness up to walk around your observing site in the dark, or dim it down to read your star chart without losing your precious night vision. At the flick of the switch, the Dual-beam becomes a white-light LED flashlight for those times that you need brighter lighting, and preserving night vision is not an issue.
Operation
Rotate the thumbwheel forward until you hear a click and the LEDs turn on.
Further rotating the thumbwheel forward will cause the LEDs to brighten. Find
the position of the thumbwheel that provides adequate brightness for your
observing situation. To turn the DualBeam off, rotate the thumbwheel backward
until you hear a click. To change from
astronomy mode (red LED) to the conventional flashlight mode (white LED), push
the switch next to the thumbwheel forward. Flip it back again to return to
astronomy mode.
Place the nylon cord around your neck for a convenient way to carry the
flashlight. The cord will also prevent the flashlight from dropping to the
ground in the dark.
Batteries
The DualBeam uses a single 9-volt battery. Lithium batteries typically last
longer than alkaline batteries, but any battery you choose will give a
relatively long life due to the small current draw of the LEDs.
Changing the batteries
When the LEDs refuse to emit at the desired brightness, it is time to change
the battery. To replace the battery, first, remove the front cap from the
flashlight. Do this by depressing the tab located just in front of the
thumbwheel while pulling the front cap off. Now, rotate the thumbwheel as far
forward as it will go (the LEDs will be at maximum brightness). Continue
pushing the thumbwheel forward until the circuit board begins to slide out of
the flashlight. Grasp the front of the exposed circuit board and carefully
pull it from the unit. Remove the battery from the battery terminals and
replace it with a fresh one. Seat the circuit board back into the flashlight
and replace the front cap. You will not need to change the battery again for
quite some time.
