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 fl ashes once for each volt; and then
the red LED fl ashes once for each 1/10 of a volt.
Example:
The LED fl ashes seven times blue and fi ve 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
6.5 to 7 V
battery is not ready for use
Turn on:
The fi rst 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 airfl ow lowers the temperature of the
light suffi ciently. If the light is not cooled by airfl ow, its power is reduced
