The HQ

 Avanté comes equipped with six white 

(LED) lights and two UV lights (in the center row) 

on each side of the front handlebars. There are 

three open lighting positions on each side of the 

handlebars that provide room for two additional 

white lights and one UV light on each side in the 

center row. 

Turn lights on or off by touching the Light Power 

button. Use the other buttons to indicate which light 

groups are on when the light power is on. (Figure 41)

Touch Main Lights to enable the six white lights on 

each side of the handlebars.

Touch the Center/UV button to enable the center row 

of lights on each side of the handlebars. If UV lights 

are installed in the center row, turn off the main 

lights when using them by pressing Main Lights. 

Touch All Lights to enable all rows of lights. You will 

be prompted that you shouldn’t turn on all lights if 

UV lights are installed. Note that you can replace the 

UV lights with white lights if you want more white 

lights for quilting. (Figure 42)

UV lighting

UV lighting can be very useful when trying to view 

white thread or white chalk on white fabric. The 

best contrast is achieved when viewed in a dark or 

dimly lit room. Although Handi Quilter has chosen 

to use UV lights which emit a light wavelength at 

the lowest end of the UV spectrum to minimize eye 

strain and damage, constant or direct exposure to 

any UV lighting can cause eye strain and may lead to 

permanent eye damage. Be careful and avoid looking 

directly at the UV lights (which emit a violet colored 

light). The UV lights should only be used when other 

lighting sources cannot produce the visual contrast 

necessary to achieve accurate quilting.

CAUTION: Looking directly into the UV lights or 

prolonged exposure to the UV lights can damage 

your eyes. Limit the use of the UV lights to avoid 

permanent eye damage. Using UV A/B blocking 

sunglasses will reduce eye strain and limit the effects 

of prolonged exposure to UV lighting.

CAUTION: Users who have had cataract surgery 

should not use the UV lighting unless they have had 

UV A/B blocking replacement lenses implanted as 

part of the surgery.
