•To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when the spotlight is used near children.

•Use only attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer.

2

The marked rating of the detachable power supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of this appliance.

The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).

The extension cord should be kept dry and off the ground.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD: Keep spotlight lamp away from materials that may burn.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:

•3W LED gets hot quickly. Do not touch hot lens, guard or enclosure.

•Never place the light face down on any surface when lit, charging or not in use. Never store the light face down on any surface.

•Never look directly into the light or shine the light into another person’s eyes.

•Keep sharp objects away from lens — it can crack or break.

•Do not expose this unit to extremely high temperatures.

•Do not drop or throw spotlight. It contains a nickel metal hydride rechargeable battery pack.

•Use only with AC or DC charging adapters that are provided with unit. Plug in the charging adapter at the spotlight first, then plug into the charging source.

•Do not overcharge: Recharge up to 5 hours maximum.

•After charging/recharging, disconnect charging adapter or extension cord and wait 5 minutes before use.

•Do not crush, cut, pull or expose charging adapter cords to extreme heat.

•Position charging adapter cords so they do not become entangled or become a safety hazard. Keep charging adapter cords away from sharp edges.

•Do not open body casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

•Do not operate the spotlight without the lens in place.

•To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting.

•Do not attempt to charge the unit if the charger is damaged – return the charger to manufacturer for repair or replacement.

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO Waterproof Spotlights

The rubber “O” ring acts to preserve the waterproof qualities of the spotlight. The “O” ring contacts the end cap to prevent water from entering the gap. An undamaged rubber “O” ring, rubber bezel and lens, and proper sealing of the end cap before use are very important.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:

Attempting to remove the rubber “O” ring; use of the unit with a damaged “O” ring, rubber bezel or lens; improper sealing of the waterproof end cap; and/or submerging this unit in depths greater than 6 feet may cause the unit to no longer be waterproof. Do not submerge the unit if these conditions exist or the unit could sustain permanent damage.

Submerging this unit in depths greater than 6 feet and/or operating it in water temperature other than between 41ºF and 104ºF (5ºC and 40ºC) could result in leakage, warping or malfunction, causing permanent damage to the spotlight.

Charging/Recharging the Spotlight

This unit is shipped in a partially charged state. Charge unit after purchase and BEFORE first use using either the 120 volt AC charger or the optional 12 volt DC charger for approximately 3-5 hours. Charge after each use until the battery/charge status LED indicator lights green.

IMPORTANT: When the unit is not in use, we recommend that the battery is charged at least every 30 days.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:

•Make sure the unit is thoroughly dry before charging or recharging. If the unit has been submerged, wipe it dry with a soft cloth before opening the end cap. If water leaks into the charging port, the unit can sustain permanent damage.

•Never place the light face down on any surface when charging.

•Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor performance.
