ATX-20-S
When starting the flashlight for the first time (cold start), it is recommended that user
allows HID to power up to full (40-60 seconds) before powering off again. This allows
the lamp time to achieve a temperature hot enough to vaporize the additives and prevent
deposits from forming on the inner arc chamber walls. When powering up, it is normal
for the lamp to “flicker”, this is the result of the metal salts in the arc chamber vaporizing.
You will also see a slight shade of red and blue. As the light comes to temperature the
flickering will subside, the arc will stabilize and the light output will increase. The Light
emitted from the flashlight is a higher Kelvin temperature (blue in color) than ordinary
flashlights. Full light output occurs in 10-15 seconds. If momentary shut off of the light
is needed you can instantly restart the light without worry of damage or cool down. It is
suggested not to “flash” the light, as this will shorten run time and lamp life.
CHARGING THE FLASHLIGHT
1. Before charging, power off the HID flashlight. It is to remain powered off while
charging.
2. Charger stand required to charge EP batteries. Open the rubber waterproof
cover
located at the bottom of the light (on end cap), connect the male jack of charger
to the female receptacle of the flashlight. CAUTION: Use only the supplied
flashlight chargers, do not use other chargers as this will cause battery failure,
overheating and possibly explosion.
3. Connect the charger plug to AC wall power or the DC power source (if DC
charger is being used).
4. Charging time will be approximately 2.5 hours.
5. When the charge is complete, (indicated by Green LED), unplug the charger
from the power source and disconnect the battery jack from the flashlight.
Replace the rubber cap of the female receptor (on end cap) to prevent water from
seeping in.
6. The optional Battery Charger Stand may be used to charge a spare Lithium
Battery with either the AC or DC battery chargers.
