Care aNd MaiNteNaNCe
All batteries lose charge with time, especially when they are warm. Recharge the unit every 30 days
when not in frequent use, preferably using the 120 volt AC method.
Never submerge the unit in water. If the unit gets dirty, gently clean the outer surfaces of the spotlight
unit with a soft cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent.
The quartz halogen bulb is the only user-replaceable part in the Spotlight. Periodically inspect the
condition of adapters, connectors and wires. Contact Technical Support toll-free at 1-877-571-2391 to
replace any components that have become worn or broken.
Spotlight bulb replacement
To replace the bulb, you will need a small Phillips screwdriver and a 6 volt H3 55 watt replacement
bulb. During installation, avoid touching the glass part of the bulb. Bulb life may be shortened by
installing a bulb with dirt or fingerprints on it. The bulb can be wiped clean with a cloth moistened
with alcohol.
