Operating Instructions

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean the flashlight's body with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For the lens, use a specialized lens cleaning cloth to avoid scratches. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
O-Ring Lubrication
To maintain the flashlight's water resistance, periodically lubricate the O-rings with silicone grease. Replace any worn or damaged O-rings with the provided spares to ensure a proper seal.
Battery Care
If the flashlight will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the battery. This prevents potential battery leakage and subsequent damage to the internal components of the device.
