OPERATION

WARNING:
Battery products are always in operating condition.
Therefore, remove the battery pack when the
product is not in use or when carrying at your side.
12 VOLT ADAPTOR
See Figures 3 and 4, page 7.
The light cannon may be connected to a 12 Volt power
source, such as a cigarette lighter receptacle or automotive
power port. Refer to vehicle owner's manual for location of
cigarette lighter receptacle or power port.
 Insert the barrel plug into the port on the base of the light
cannon.
 Secure the cord in the cord retainer.
 Route the cord to the 12 Volt power source.
 Hold the 12 Volt adaptor firmly and place connector into
a cigarette lighter receptacle or power port to energize
light.
NOTICE:
If the 12 V adapter does not fit firmly into the
cigarette lighter receptacle or power port, the
receptacle may not be suitable for use with the
light. A poor connection at the base of the 12 V
adapter could lead to electrical problems in the
vehicle outside of the protections offered by the
vehicle or light's fuse.
NOTE: Powering the unit using a vehicle's 12 V receptacle
when the engine is not running will drain the vehicle's battery.
TURNING THE LIGHT CANNON ON AND OFF
See Figure 5, page 7.
Squeeze and release the switch trigger to turn the light can-
non on and off.
NOTE: It is not necessary to hold the switch trigger to oper-
ate the light cannon.
OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
If overheating occurs, the light will attempt to cool itself by
dimming.
If dimming does not cool the light sufficiently, it will shut off.
As soon as the unit reaches normal operating temperature,
it can be turned on again. If it shuts off, allow approximately
10 minutes of cool-down time before attempting to resume
operation.
ADJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS
See Figure 6, page 8.
The brightness knob, located on the back of the light cannon,
controls the intensity of the LED. To increase brightness,
turn the knob to the right. To decrease brightness, turn the
knob to the left.
ADJUSTABLE HEAD
See Figure 7, page 8.
CAUTION:
Do not place hands or fingers between adjustable
head and handle when positioning light cannon to
avoid pinching your fingers or hands.
The adjustable head can be rotated 185 degrees. Adjust
light to desired position for best illumination.
MOUNTING THE LIGHT CANNON
See Figure 8 and 9, page 8.
The light cannon can be mounted to any tripod that has a
1/4-20 thread mounting screw.
 Place the light cannon on the tripod mounting screw.
Make sure the screw properly engages the mounting
hole, on the bottom of the light cannon.
 Secure the light cannon to the mounting screw as
described in the tripod operator's manual.
