4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your LUMINTOP IYP365 penlight.

O-Ring and Thread Care:
- Regularly inspect the O-rings for wear and tear. Replace them if damaged to maintain the waterproof seal. Spare O-rings are included in the package.
- Apply a thin layer of silicone grease to the threads and O-rings periodically to ensure smooth operation and maintain water resistance.
Battery Care:
- Replace batteries when the light output diminishes or becomes inconsistent.
- Remove batteries during long periods of non-use to prevent potential battery leakage and damage to the penlight.
