This product contains a lithium-ion

battery. To prevent the possibility of

personal injury or product damage

caused by battery exposure to extreme

heat, store the device out of direct

sunlight.

The temperature rating for the device

may exceed the usable range of some

batteries. Alkaline batteries can rupture

at high temperatures. Alkaline batteries

lose a signicant amount of their

capacity as temperature decreases. Use

lithium batteries when operating the

device in below-freezing conditions.

The device operates on the included

lithium-ion battery pack or four AA

batteries.

Before you use the device the rst

time, charge the battery.

Charging a fully depleted battery takes

6 hours. The device will not charge

from -4°F to 140°F (from -20°C to

60°C).

1. Plug the AC charger into a standard

wall outlet.

2. Lift the weather cap.

3. Plug the small end of the AC

Instead of the lithium-ion battery pack,

you can use alkaline, NiMH, or lithium

batteries. This is especially handy

when you are on the trail and cannot

charge the lithium-ion battery pack.

Use NiMH or lithium batteries for best

results.

1. Turn the D-ring counter-clockwise,

and pull up to remove the cover.

2. Insert four AA batteries, observing

polarity.

3. Replace the battery cover, and turn

the D-ring clockwise.
