NOTE: Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy
discharges between recharges will reduce battery life. You cannot
overcharge the battery with the supplied AC charger/adapter. The time
required to fully recharge the battery depends on the charge status of the
battery after it's use or storage. If the battery is discharged, recharge the
battery until the green LED changes from lit to unlit. Fastest recharge is
achieved when the lamp switch is OFF.
NOTE: The supplied AC charger/adapter can be left continuously powered and
connected to the lamp without harming the battery.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The rechargeable battery is contained in the base of the Lamp. The battery should
be replaced when it does not hold a charge or power the lamp. Disconnect the AC
