WARNING!
Keep everyone-helpers, bystanders,
children, and animals-a safe distance from
an extended tripod. Serious personal injury
or property damage could occur if the tripod
is tipped. Unless you are adjusting the tripod
or mounting the light module onto it, keep a
safe distance away from the tripod.
■ Unlock the upper 19 and/or lower clamp
21, extend the upper 18 and/or lower
extension tubes 20 to the desired length.
■ Lock the clamps to prevent the tubes from
moving during operation (see figure M).
USB port
The USB port 8 can be used to charge a cell
phone or similar USB device (5 Volt DC, up to
2.1 A) when a battery is attached or the tripod
light is connected to an AC power supply (see
figure N).
NOTE: The USB port is not active all the
time. Before connecting a USB device to the
port, press the power-indicator button 9 and
the power indicators 11 will light up. This
activates the USB port 8 and a USB device can
be connected and charged.

Power indicator

This tripod light is equipped with power
indicators 11 that display the battery pack
charge level on both sides of the carrying
handle 12 (see figure N).
When you press the power-indicator button 9,
the LEDs of the power indicator 11 will light
up for 10 seconds (solid or flashing light).
Refer to the table below to determine the
battery charge level.
NOTE: If the power-indicator button 9 is
pressed while the tripod is connected to AC
power supply, all four LEDs of the power
indicators will light up.

Low capacity warning
If one LED on the power indicator begins to
flash, the battery pack charge is under 10%
capacity and should be recharged. Unlike
other types of battery packs, lithium-ion
battery packs deliver fade-free power for their
entire run time.
The light will not experience a slow, gradual
loss of power as it is used. The power
delivered to the light will drop quickly when
the battery pack is at the end of its run time
and needs to be charged.
When the battery pack is completely
discharged or over-voltage, the power
indicator will begin to display four flashing
LEDs.
When this happens, turn the light off and
charge the battery pack as needed.
Over-temperature warning
The battery circuitry also protects the battery
pack from overheating. To protect the battery
pack from damage and prolong its life, the
battery pack circuitry will send a warning
signal to the tool if the temperature becomes
too high during use. The first and third LEDs
on the power indicator will rapidly flash green
to warn of the over-temperature condition.
The battery pack will begin normal operation
after it has cooled down.
Note: A significantly reduced run time after
fully charging the battery pack indicates that
the batteries are near the end of their usable
life and must be replaced.

Cold weather operation

When the battery pack is very cold, the
performance may be weakened. Place the
battery pack in room temperature until it has
warmed.

On/off switch

Light Pattern
To reduce the risk of injury, do not look
Solid
directly into the light when the light is on.
Solid
The light can be turned on by either the On/
Solid
Off switch 1 on the light module (see figure
Solid
O) or the On/Off switch10 on the carrying
Flashing
handle of the tripod (see figure P). Both
switches work identically.
