FOR SAFE OPERATIONS (IMPORTANT)
• Pace maker users should never use this device.
• The lamp body becomes extremely hot when turned on. Never touch the lamp body
Warning!!! Important Note
or lens until thoroughly cooled. Injury may result.
• Never gaze at the light when it's turned on. It may harm your eyesight.
• Do not use this light on public roads. The light output is equal to an automobile’s
halogen bulbs. Adjust the light accordingly so as not to blind oncoming traffic.
• Stop using the light at once if the lamp unit, cord or bottle battery has broken. Hazards may result due to a high voltage system.
• Never short-circuit the terminal of the bottle battery and the plug of the AC adapter.
It may cause the battery to over heat, resulting in fire or damage of the components.
• Safely and properly dispose of the old Ni-MH batteries according to your local regulations. To remove the battery, turn the bottom part of the bottle battery counterclockwise.
• Never place it within children’s reach.
• Although the lamp body and the battery are water-resistant (under normal weather conditions of rain, etc.), never intentionally submerge them under water.
• The battery used with the Stadium Light is 12 volts. Never attempt to alter this lighting
system. Never use the battery with any other lighting system.
• Never disassemble the lamp body, ballast and battery.
• The battery has unique characteristics. The light output will remain high until the batteries
run out, and will drop suddenly. Always pay attention to the remains of the charge and take
precautions by preparing a spare light.
• Never replace the bulb unit by yourself. It is not user-replaceable. It can never regain its
best performance.
• Never touch the metal halide bulb with bare-fingers; natural skin oils can cause the bulb to
over heat and break.
• Never touch or wipe the inside of the reflective mirror. This may degrade the quality of the
light output.
• The ballast is loaded with sensitive electronic components. Severe impact may result in
malfunction.
• The AC adapter is only for indoor use. After charging the battery, be sure to unplug it from
the power outlet.
• Never use the bottle battery for other equipment.
• A long period of non-use will lower the voltage of the battery due to natural self discharge.
Always charge the battery before using.
• Overdischarge (leaving the light on after the power is completely gone) shortens the performance life of the battery.
• If the lamp body or parts become dirty with mud, etc., gently wipe it away with a dish towel which
is moistened with mild soap. Never apply paint thinner, benzene or alcohol; damage will result.
How to Adjust the Angle of Beam
Switch on the light at night in flat place, and adjust the angle vertically. It can also be adjusted
10° horizontally. To adjust it, loosen the screw of the bracket a little.
Warning!!! In addition to its high brightness, the
beam is widely diffused. In case you
should use this light on public roads,
he sure to adjust the angle downward
so as not to blind oncoming traffic.
