• To turn your Beacon on, twist the cap closed. Then snug the cap even more to create a more watertight seal.

• We suggest that you turn the lights on BEFORE leaving the boathouse or rack. Keep them on until you return. This helps prevents moisture from getting inside the light.

• When finished using your Beacon unscrew the cap and make certain that the circuit board inside the light has not gotten wet.

• If water should get into your Beacon, even just a little! remove the cap, carefully slide the light board out of the enclosure and dry everything off. Once all parts are dry, reassemble and you should be good to go.

• Never use the lights if the gasket is missing from the lid.

• Beacon Lights will float, when the screw cap is CLOSED TIGHTLY.

• To charge your Beacon, remove the lid completely. Attach the USB cable to the socket at the top of the circuit board and plug the other end of the cord into the wall charger. Plug the charger into any electrical outlet. You can also charge from the USB port on any computer and car charger with a USB port.

• The yellow charging LED will light while charging and go out when charging is complete. One full charge will easily last several practices.

• TO A BOW NUMBER CLIP

  • Slide the fin of the Beacon enclosure into your bow number clip, just as you would a racing bow number. If your bow number holder has a hole in it you can further secure your Beacon using a #10x3/4” machine screw and a lock nut, a clevis pin, or other locking pin type hardware.

• USING A SUCTION CUP ATTACHMENT

  • Make sure the boat deck is clean and smooth. Dirt, dust, scratches in the paint or uneven deck repairs may prevent good suction between the deck and suction cup.Wipe the suction cup with a damp cloth to clean and slightly moisten the surface that will contact the boat. . Loop the safety lanyard through the “flag loop” on the end of your boat (if there is one) or around the steering yoke post just in case the suction cup releases.

• ATTACHING A ROWKRAFT LIGHT KEEPER

  • For an attachment that’s more permanent than the suction cup to the boat’s deck, use the optional Light Keeper which attaches using very strong waterproof double sided tape. Peel the protective strip off of the tape on the Light Keeper and press firmly onto the boat’s deck. (You can also add your own screws if you really want to be sure it won’t fall off).

• Tom recommends using CorrosionX to clean the boards. Dielectric grease can be used on both socket and cord ends to keep contacts in good shape after cleaning.

• No need to discharge

• Send questionable boards back to us for assessment

• Don't store in plastic

• Charge fully

• Discharge fully

• Recharge

8 Tips on Using Suction Cups:

The care and use of suction cups is very simple:

• Make sure the suction cup is clean and free from debris.

• If the suction cup needs to be cleaned, wash in warm soapy water then dry gently with a lint-free cloth.

• Clean the surface you are applying the suction cup to. It won’t adhere well to a dirty surface.

• To enhance suction, a tiny dab of Vaseline or cooking oil may be rubbed on the rim of the cup.

• Press the cup all the way down, against the surface.

• The suction cup may need to be “burped” periodically by pressing down on it to remove any air that may have seeped in.

• Temperature and humidity variations may make a suction cup lose its grip. If bonded above 40⁰ F/5⁰ C the cup will provide the most reliable service from -22⁰ to 120⁰ F.

• To remove the cup, simply pull up on the release tab to break the suction.
