Installation
Section 3
Typical Installation
1. Locate and mount the mounting bracket (Fig. 10) using appropriate
screw and anchors for that location and material.
2. With flashlight out of the Charging Cradle, engage the two prongs of
mounting bracket with matching slots at base of the Charging Cradle ... roll
it forward and over the spring-loaded pin lock (Fig. 11). Make sure it has
fully engaged the pin. Removal of the Charging Cradle is achieved by
simply depressing this pin with the index finger or (closed) ballpoint pen
and reversing the procedure.
3. Plug the Charging Cradle's connector into the matching end of the DC
power cord or C converter.
Note: When disconnecting plugs, never pull on wires. The Mag Charger®
Rechargeable Flashlight System detachable mounting bracket allows the
Charging Cradle to be removed from the vehicle, taken to the home, station
house or office for continued charging. One extra mounting bracket is
included for mounting in two different locations.
Direct Wire–Vehicle Installation 12–14 Volt Only (Not for 24-Volt Systems)
4' power accessory cord is available to facilitate the direct-wiring of the rechargeable system (Fig. 19). Mag Instrument recommends
using only an ignition-switched (fused) circuit, and preferably the lowest output available (5 amps or less). This is most often the radio
or accessory fuse. The red (positive) lead is connected to the fuse output, and the black (negative) ground wire should be attached to a
metal part of the chassis, which serves as a battery ground return.
