Operation
Initialization & voltage display:
After connecting the lamp to the battery, the software runs a selftest. The lamp itself as well as the
red and blue LEDs in the switch light up once. The
LEDs, as follows:
The blue LED flashes once for each volt; and then
the red LED flashes once for each 1/10 of a volt.
Example:
The LED flashes seven times blue and five times red = battery voltage is 7.5 V.
Interpreting the voltage display:
more than 8.0 V
battery is fully charged:
7.1 to 7.8 V
battery needs charging or is old
6.5 to 7 V
battery is not ready for use
Turn on:
The first press of the button switches on the light with maximum power. The blue LED is illuminated.
Switching:
Each quick push of the button switches through the dim levels.
Turn off:
To turn off the lamp, keep the button pressed.
Note:
The light outputs the maximum amount of light only if airflow lowers the temperature of the
light sufficiently. If the light is not cooled by airflow, its power is reduced
