5. Troubleshooting

  • Flashlight does not turn on:
    Ensure the battery is inserted correctly with the positive (+) end facing the head. Check if the battery has sufficient charge. Tighten the tail cap completely.
  • Light is dim or flickers:
    Replace the battery with a fresh one or recharge the 14500 battery. Ensure the battery contacts are clean and free of debris.
  • Zoom function is stiff:
    Clean the sliding mechanism of the flashlight head. A small amount of silicone grease can be applied to the O-rings if necessary, but avoid petroleum-based lubricants.
