milwaukee REDLITHIUM USB Beacon Hard Hat Light
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR REDLITHIUMTM USB BATTERIES AND THE REDLITHIUMTM USB BEACON HARD HAT LIGHT.
- USE AND CHARGE ONLY REDLITHIUMTM USB BATTERIES IN THIS USB RECHARGEABLE LIGHT. OTHER TYPES OF BATTERIES MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND DAMAGE.
- BEFORE USING THE BATTERY AND LIGHT, READ THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL AND ALL LABELS ON THE BATTERY AND LIGHT.
- USE ONLY WITH LISTED/CERTIFIED ITE POWER SUPPLY. Others may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
- AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not charge battery in rain, snow, damp or wet locations. Do not use battery or charger in the presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing battery, possibly causing fire.
- CHARGE IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. Do not block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a charging battery. Vented gases may explode.
- MAINTAIN CORD. When unplugging charger, pull plug rather than cord to reduce the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord. Never carry charger by its cord. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make sure cord will not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage or stress. Do not use charger with damaged cord or plug. Have a damaged charger replaced immediately.
- USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ATTACHMENTS. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger or battery manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, always unplug charger before cleaning or maintenance.
- DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE BATTERY PACKS. Battery may explode, causing personal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery are burned.
- DO NOT CRUSH, DROP, OR DAMAGE BATTERY. Do not use a battery or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over, or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
- DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to battery chemicals. If it is damaged, take it to a MILWAUKEE® service facility.
- BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS. Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or mouth. If a damaged battery leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery fluids, wash with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.
- DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT. A short-circuited battery pack may cause fire, personal injury, and product damage. A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the positive and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit, such as coins, keys or nails in your pocket.
- STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE. Do not store battery where temperatures may exceed 50°C (120°F) such as in direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during the summer.
- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, CLOSE SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY when an appliance is used near children.
- STORE IDLE LIGHT OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Warm lights can become hazardous in the hands of children.
- KNOW YOUR LIGHT. Read this manual carefully to learn your light’s applications and limitations as well as potential hazards associated with this type of light.
- MAINTAIN LABELS AND NAMEPLATES. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility for a replacement.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY RULES
To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

BATTERY
Maintenance and Storage
Do not expose your battery to water or rain, or allow it to get wet. This could damage battery. Do not use oil or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery. The plastic casing will become brittle and crack, causing a risk of injury. Store batteries at room temperature away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures (over 50°C (120°F). MILWAUKEE® Li-Ion batteries maintain their charge during storage longer than other battery types. After about a year of storage, charge the battery as normal.
MILWAUKEE® Li-Ion batteries are more environmentally friendly than some other types of power tool batteries. Always dispose of your battery according to federal, state and local regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your area for recycling locations.
Even discharged batteries contain some energy. Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover the terminals to prevent the battery from shorting, which could cause a fire or explosion.
LIGHT
Use and TM charge only REDLITHIUM USB batteries in this USB rechargeable light. Other types of batteries may cause personal injury and damage. The light source of this illuminaires not replaceable; when the light source reaches its end of life the whole luminaire should be replaced.
Inserting the Battery
- Open the battery door.
- Line up the battery with the compartment and fully insert the battery.
- Close the battery door.
Charging the Battery
- Plug your USB cable into a power source such as an AC wall adapter, computer or car port.
- Lift the rubber cover to expose the micro USB port. Insert the micro USB plug into the micro USB port. Users may experience longer charge times from laptops and other power sources.
- The indicator light will display the charging status:
- Red Solid: Charging, 0-79% charged
- Green Flashing: Charging, 80-99% charged
- Green Solid: 100% Charged
- Red/Green Flashing: Damaged or Faulty Battery
If the light indicator flashes red and green, check that the battery is fully seated into the bay. Remove the battery and reinsert. If the light continues to flash red and green, the battery may be extremely hot or cold, or wet. Allow the battery to cool down, warm up, or dry out and then reinsert. If the problem persists, contact a MILWAUKEE® service facility.
Operation
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not look directly into the light when the light is on.
Headlamp
Clip the light onto the strap and use the buckle to adjust the strap to the required size. Use the included clips to attach to a hard hat. Rotate the light up or down as needed.
Press the power button to turn the light on and off. Press the mode button to cycle through Spot/Flood, Flood High, Flood Medium, Flood Low, and Spot. The fuel gauge will display the battery life:
- Green Solid: 50-100% remaining
- Yellow Solid: 11-49% remaining
- Red Solid: 3-10% remaining
- Red Flashing: 0-3% remaining
During use, when the battery charge reaches 3%, the main LED and charge indicator will flash, indicating up to 5 minutes of runtime remains. Prior to immediate shutdown, the main LED will flash 3 times, then the tool will shutdown. Remaining runtime may be less than 5 minutes if the light is turned on when battery capacity is already 0-3%.
Press the power button to cycle through on, strobe and off. Press and hold the power button to turn off without cycling.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery from the charger before performing any maintenance. The charger and battery have no internal serviceable parts. Never disassemble the battery or charger.
Maintenance and Storage
Store your charger in a cool, dry place. As a general practice, it is best to unplug battery chargers and remove batteries when not in use. No battery damage will occur, however, if the charger and battery are left plugged in.
Cleaning
Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the battery and charger, keeping away from all electrical contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around batteries, charger, or tools.
