INTRODUCTION
The Arlec Rechargeable Double Vision
Searchlight is a rechargeable torch with a
Quartz Halogen globe providing intense white
light, plus a smaller standard bulb. Each is
individually selectable.
BEFORE USE, CHARGE THE
BATTERY
Plug the AC adaptor charger into the charger
socket on the torch by first lifting up the rubber
socket cover. Plug the adaptor into power outlet
and switch mains power on. The time to fully
charge the battery is approx. 10 hours.
NOTE: Both the switches on the torch must be
in the ‘OFF’ position for charging the battery.
On full charge the main lantern of the torch
will operate for approx. 30 minutes before
needing a recharge. The small lantern will
operate for 8 hours. To conserve battery life,
use the smaller light whenever the main
searchlight lantern is not required.
IMPORTANT: Do not store with flat battery.
Recharge regularly. If the battery is flattened
charge immediately. DO NOT CHARGE FOR A
PERIOD IN EXCESS OF 24 HOURS.
After charging close the rubber socket cover.
TO USE
The torch can be operated with the handle in
the normal position or in “pistol” grip position.
This is achieved by pressing in the release
button on the handle and rotating it to the
desired position.
The torch can be simply stood on its base to
allow hands free use.
Switch on by operating the switches at the
side of the torch as indicated.
Make sure that both switches are switched off
while charging as the charger will not function
if either is switched on.
WARNINGS
- Lens becomes very hot during operation.
This torch is designed for intermittent use
only. Continuous use is specifically not
recommended and may cause damage to
the unit.
- Never cover lens and reflector during
operation.
- Do not shine directly into eyes.
- Switch off the torch and allow to cool before
storage or maintenance.
- Replace the globe or battery with same
rating and type only.
- Use only the chargers supplied with the
lantern.
MAIN GLOBE REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the front of the torch by turning
anticlockwise.
2. Lift out the reflector assembly and remove
the spring wire clip from the rear of the
reflector. Globe will now come away from
reflector.
3. Disconnect the globe wire by pulling
straight out on the connecting wire. Hold by
the connecting lugs while doing so, not by
the wire.
4. Replace the globe, reconnect the wire, fit
spring wire clip and refit reflector assembly.
Avoid handling the new globe by the glass
envelope. Replace globe only with an
identical type.
SMALL GLOBE REPLACEMENT
1. Remove front lens by turning anticlockwise,
remove reflector.
2. Unscrew bulb from holder, pull out.
3. Replace bulb, refit reflector and front lens.
CAR CHARGER
A cigarette lighter charger is provided. It works
in much the same way as the AC adaptor, but
allows you to charge the torch from your
vehicle. The charger connection cord and plug
are stored in a compartment in the base of the
lantern. Slide the tabs on the base to open the
compartment
NOTE: Normally cigarette lighter outlets in
vehicles will only be energised if the key is
in the ignition and turned at least to the
“ACC” position.
