Charging
To charge the battery using the AC adapter, first ensure the lamp is switched OFF, connect
the plug of the AC charger to the AC/DC Charging socket on the back of the power
pack, (see Fig. 2), plug the AC charger into a suitable mains socket and switch ON.
Charging a partially discharged battery may take several hours to fully charge, whereas
a completely discharged battery will take the full 16 hours, (4 hours if charging from a car
battery).
To gain the maximum life of the battery, it is not advisable to charge regularly from a DC
supply).
The charge state of the battery can be checked by operating the battery level test
button on the back of the power pack, when pressed the battery level indicator will glow
RED if the battery requires charging, if charged the indicator will glow GREEN.
CAUTION: Never charge the battery for longer than 48 hours as this may cause
damage to the unit and or premature failure of the battery.
NOTE: Using the battery test button whilst the battery is on charge, gives false
information, when the battery is on charge, the level indicator glows RED, pressing the
battery level test button will cause the indicator to turn GREEN, release the button
and the indicator returns to RED.
To charge the battery from the 12v car battery, ensure the lamp is switched OFF, connect
the small plug of the DC charger into the AC/DC charging socket, plug the other end into
the cigarette lighter socket.
DO NOT leave on charge for long periods, (more than 4 hours) as the result may be a flat
car battery.
IMPORTANT
Use only, either the AC or the DC charging adapters supplied to charge the battery.
If you plan to store the lamp for long periods, it is recommended to fully charge the
battery first using the AC charger. This will ensure the longest possible battery life.
When not in use, it is recommended to recharge the battery at least every four
months.
Operating Instructions
Ensure the 12v power cable (Item 7 Fig. 1), is firmly connected between the 12v
power socket on the back of the power pack and the 12v DC input socket on the
back of the lamp, switch the lamp on using the ON/OFF switch.
Loosen the adjusting knobs and adjust to the desired angle, retighten both knobs
once desired position is found, DO NOT ovetighten.
The unit can be used as a 12v power supply to power other 12 DC appliances at
the same time as using the lamp, using the 12v Power socket and the twin socket
adapter, using power tools etc this way will obviously shorten the use time.
The lamp can be run directly from any 12v DC supply using the correct cable, e.g. the 12v
power cable supplied can be connected to the 12v DC input socket and the car
cigarette lighter socket.
NOTE: 12v power cable and 12v DC charger and AC charger are stored in the bottom of
the battery pack. to access them, turn the lamp upside down and slide the cover
towards the cushioned base, (front).
