WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect
to the positive terminal of the battery,
must be sized to supply at least 125% of
the maximum operating current and must
be fused at the battery to carry that load.
WARNING! Do not attempt to touch any interior
components until at least 5 minutes have
elapsed since device has been
disconnected from it’s power supply. This
will prevent accidental electrical
discharge from occurring that could

Installation:
- Determine mounting style (windshield or dashboard). For windshield mounting, apply the supplied suction cups to the universal mounting bracket. For dashboard mounting use the velcro strips (See Fig. 1).
- To adjust the light, loosen the adjustment nuts, position the unit for optimum visibility and re-tighten the adjustment nuts (Fig. 4). Your light should be adjusted so that it’s beam is parallel with the road at drivers-eye level. This ensures visibility by other vehicles on the road.
- Plug power cord into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket to activate the light. If you are installing the DMP3S, refer to Fig. 2 when wiring the center take-down lamp.
