Instructions for the user


Charge the lamps before use.

A new battery only reaches full capacity after a few charging and discharging cycles. Protect lamps from moisture and humidity. Do not use any damaged lamps. Only a skilled professional must carry out repairs.


Charging

Switch off lamps before charging, plug the charging unit into the power outlet. The lamps are protected against overcharging. However: Avoid total discharge, i.e. do not leave the lamps switched on, because the battery can incur damage (does not apply to emergency lamps). Repeated discharging and charging can get the battery to regain its capacity.
 
Tip

For long service life we recommend that NiMH batteries are charged every 6 months - even if the lamps have not been in use.


Disposal

Do not throw defective lamps or used batteries in with domestic refuse, but take to a suitable collection point or send to us sufficiently postpaid.


Warranty

For material or processing defects there is a warranty of 24 months. Wear parts such as lightbulbs and batteries are exempt from the warranty. In the case of improper use, the warranty claim expires.
