4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

  • Wipe the flashlight body with a clean, soft cloth.
  • For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish and seals.
  • Keep the lens clean for optimal light output. Use a lens cleaning cloth if necessary.

4.2 Battery Care and Storage

  • Always use high-quality 18650 Lithium Ion batteries.
  • If the flashlight will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent potential leakage or self-discharge.
  • Store the flashlight and batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Ensure battery contacts are clean. If necessary, clean them with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
