What do I check if the lights won't come on when the charger is
plugged in?
If the charger lights do not turn on when the unit is plugged in, rst check
to make sure that the cord to the power supply is rmly seated in the back
of the charger. Next, remove and inspect the fuse that is on the front of the
charger. Replace this 10A/250V fuse if it appears to be broken. Finally, if the
charger sll does not turn on, return it to Halcyon or an authorized dealer so
that the internal surge protecon fuse can be inspected for damage.
My light was accidentally turned on while in transit and the battery
has been fully discharged. Have I damaged my NiMH battery?
Maintaining a load on a NiMH baery past the point of full discharge may
eventually cause irreversible changes in the cell chemistry and promote life-
liming phenomena such as creep leakage. If you have over-discharged your
NiMH baery pack, recondion the baery by taking it through at least three
complete discharge/charge cycles.
Can I disassemble my Explorer/Eos/Apollo battery pack or dry lid?
If you remove the protecve Delrin caps, the plasc shrink-wrapping from
your NiMH baery pack, or disassemble the Halcyon dry lid, you will void
your Halcyon warranty. There are no user-serviceable parts within the pack;
if you think that your baery pack or lid might be damaged, please return
the light to your Halcyon dealer for inspecon. The bolts that secure the dry
lid are sealed; breaking the seal will void your light's warranty.
Warning: Your Halcyon Explorer battery pack and dry lid are built to
exacting standards. There are no user servicable parts in either compo-
nent; removing the pack's end cap or disassembling the lid can dam-
age the system's wiring and result in a catastrophic failure.
Do I need to take any special precautions in shipping and handling my
Explorer battery?
Shipping and handling of NiMH baeries is straighorward. The following
suggesons ensure maximum performance, reliability and safety in working
with the cells:
•Provide proper packaging, considering the weight of the battery pack,
to avoid transit damage.
•Do not store cells or batteries under load or in a shorted condition.
•Avoid excessive handling of charged cells and batteries outside the
Explorer canister.
