If you suspect the bulb is burned out, check if the lamp will operate when powered
using the AC charger/adapter. If Low brightness is selected and the bulb won't
light, it probably needs to be replaced.
You will need a new replacement bulb (Vector part VEC193)*. The globe assembly
that contains the bulb is in two halves. To remove the top half of the globe, the three
flanges under the shade must be unscrewed from the three supports that fasten the
shade to the globe. They can be removed without tools.
1. Make sure the lamp is turned OFF.
2. Reach under the shade and unscrew (counterclockwise) all three flanges until they
slide down the supports.
3. Lift off the shade and top half of the globe and set them aside.
4. Using a cloth, grasp the bulb, pull it straight up and dispose of it properly.
5. Using a clean cloth, remove the bulb from its package. Avoid touching it with
bare skin.
6. Note the two pins and the small holes on the bulb socket.
7. Insert the two pins of the bulb into the socket and make sure they are fully seated.
8. Briefly turn on the lamp to test operation of the new bulb.
9. Locate the shade and top half of the globe and reattach the flange threads (one
at a time) in the shade`assembly.
10. Continue to tighten (clockwise) so the globe is secure. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
•A high quality, G4 base, 6 volt, 10-watt bulb may be used if a VEC193 bulb is not available.

4. Charge until the green Recharge LED flashes, then goes from lit to unlit, indicating
the battery is fully charged.
Battery charging times will vary depending on whether the unit is in the OFF or Low
brightness setting and the discharge status of the battery. Monitor the green
Recharge LED. In the OFF setting, allow at least 10 hours for complete recharging,if
battery is discharged.
Battery Replacement
The rechargeable battery is contained in the base of the lamp. It should be replaced
when it will no longer hold a charge.
Before replacing the battery, disconnect the 120 volt AC/DC Power
Adapter/Charger from the AC outlet. You will need a 6 volt, 6 amp/hour
replacement battery (Vector part# VEC199) and a small Phillips screwdriver. The
procedure to replace the battery is as follows:
1. Set the lamp on its side.
2. Peel back the rubber pad on the bottom of the lamp base and remove the four
screws located there.
3. Separate the base bottom from the top.
4. Observe the RED wire and BLACK wire battery connections.
5. Lift the battery away from the base and circuits.
6. Remove the slide-off connectors from the battery tab connectors. (Note that the
tabs are different sizes to avoid confusion.)
7. Dispose of the disconnected battery properly.
8. Place the RED and BLACK wire connectors on the new battery, making sure the
RED wire connector is on the POS (+) terminal and the BLACK wire connector is
on the NEG (–) terminal.
9. Check lamp for operation by pressing the Brightness Selector.
10. Place the battery in the base and reassemble the base.
11. Replace the four screws — DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Press the rubber pad back
in position.
12. Charge the new battery as instructed above.
Battery Disposal
Non-Spillable Sealed Lead Acid Battery: This battery is fully recyclable and should
be accepted at any location that accepts common automotive starter batteries.
Examples of places that accept these batteries are: county or
municipal recycling drop-off centers, scrap metal dealers and
retailers who sell automotive replacement lead acid starter
batteries. For more information on recycling this battery, call
toll-free (877) 288-7722.
WARNINGS
• Do not dispose of the battery in fire or expose the battery to fire or
intense heat. This may result in an explosion.
• Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with
heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting, which can result in
injury or fire.
Bulb Replacement
The supplied 10 watt quartz halogen lamp is a projection quality bulb. Operating
the lamp at full brightness for long periods reduces the bulb's life.

NON-SPILLABLE BATTERY

Using the 120 Volt AC/DC Power Adapter/Charger
to Power the Lamp
•Plug the 120 Volt AC/DC power adapter/charger’s barrel connector into the
Recharge Port located on the base of the lamp (see below).
• Plug the AC/DC power adapter/charger’s plug into a powered 120 volt AC wall
outlet.
Make sure that the AC charger/adapter is powered from the correct AC source. It
must only be powered from 110 volts AC 60 Hz. The AC charger/adapter is rated
for indoor use and must be kept dry. Only use the supplied AC charger/adapter
with this lamp. Substituting this AC charger/adapter for another may damage the
lamp's internal charging circuits and void the warranty.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The lamp is controlled by the Brightness Selector pushbutton (see page 2). Pressing
the selector once turns the lamp on at a High brightness; pushing it again sets the
brightness to Low. Pushing it a third time turns the lamp OFF.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Over time, dust or fingerprints may accumulate on the lamp. If necessary, clean the
lamp with a soft, clean, oil-free cloth moistened with window cleaner. Do not
use alcohol-based cleaners on the plastic surfaces, as this will eventually cause
surface clouding. If the inside of the plastic guard becomes dirty, disassemble as
you would for bulb replacement (see page 4) and clean with window cleaner.
Battery Care
There is a direct trade-off between lamp brightness and battery charge duration.
The lamp will operate longer in the Low brightness setting.
Operating your lamp while it is connected to a 120 volt AC power source through
the supplied AC/DC Power Adapter/Charger does not expend battery power. Your
lamp battery cannot be overcharged if left continuously connected to the
charger/adapter.
Battery Recharging
The lamp should be recharged after each use (or every 60 days, if not used) or if
the battery becomes discharged. When the lamp becomes dim when the Brightness
Selector is set to High, the battery has become discharged.
To recharge the battery:
1. Make certain the lamp is in the OFF or Low brightness setting. The lamp cannot
be recharged in the High brightness setting.
2. Connect the 120 volt AC/DC Power Adapter/Charger as described in the
“Powering the Lamp” section on page 2 (where you will also find other
powering/charging directions and recommendations).
3. The green Recharging LED will light to indicate the battery is charging.
