Safety Information

• Ensure the power supply matches the specified voltage (10-30V DC) to prevent damage.
• Do not look directly into the LED light when it is active, as it can cause eye strain or damage.

Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Choose a Mounting Location: Select a flat, stable surface on your boat, truck, or vehicle that provides an unobstructed view and allows for full 360° rotation and 60° vertical sweep.
2. Prepare the Mounting Surface: The searchlight's base requires a hole for the power cable to pass through. Drill a hole large enough to accommodate the cable's plug end, ensuring a secure and watertight seal after installation. Note: The searchlight base does not feature a side channel for cable routing, requiring a through-surface cable entry.
3. Secure the Searchlight: Use appropriate fasteners (not included) to firmly attach the searchlight base to the chosen surface. Ensure the mounting is robust enough to withstand vibrations and environmental conditions.
4. Wiring: Connect the searchlight's power cable to a 10-30V DC power source. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative). It is recommended to install an inline fuse (not included) for circuit protection.
5. Connect Remote Control: Plug the wired remote control cable into the designated port on the searchlight.
