User Tips
- **Keychain Convenience**: Utilize the integrated keychain for easy attachment to keys, backpacks, or gear, ensuring it's always accessible.
- **Versatile COB Light**: The COB sidelight is excellent for area illumination, such as inside a tent, for reading, or as a work light, providing a softer, wider beam than the main LED.
- **Emergency Signaling**: The Red Strobe and Red & Blue Flash modes can be used for emergency signaling or to attract attention in critical situations.
- **Regular Charging**: For optimal battery health, avoid letting the battery completely discharge. Charge it regularly, especially if it hasn't been used for a while.
