Only use the hooks to hang the light module when it is not attached to the tripod. Failure to heed this warning may result in injury or damage.

The light unit is equipped with two hooks 2. It can be carried or hung on a rope, nail, or a 2X4 piece of wood.

The hooks are permanently fixed to the light module and cannot be removed. The hooks can be folded for storage or pulled out and rotated separately (see figure L).

Adjusting the height

WARNING!

When adjusting the height of the tripod, hold the upper or lower extension tube with one hand and unlock the clamp with the other. If not held properly, the top portion of the tripod and the light module mounted to the tripod could descend rapidly and cause serious personal injury or property damage.

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.

Battery Pack Charge Level	Power Indicator Lights	Light Pattern
75% - 100%		Solid
50% - 75%		Solid
25% - 50%		Solid
10% - 25%		Solid
<10%		Flashing

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

WARNING!

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

The light has a three-stage brightness adjustment, providing different light intensities for your operation.

■ Press the On/Off switch to turn on the light in the maximum brightness stage.
■ Press the On/Off switch again to change to the medium brightness stage.
■ Press the On/Off switch the third time to change to the minimum brightness stage.
■ Press the fourth time to turn the light off.
