batteries. Power the AC Recharger from a standard, 110 volt, 60 Hz AC North
American receptacle. The AC recharger will not support lamp operation. Do
not operate the lamps while the AC Recharger is connected to the Recharge

the batteries and operating either light. Power the DC Recharger from a stan-
