3. Setup and First Use

Before using your IMALENT MS18 flashlight for the first time, please follow these important steps:

1. Remove Battery Protection: Unscrew the tail cover of the flashlight counter-clockwise. Locate and remove the battery protection piece, which is typically a small plastic disc or film placed between the flashlight head and the battery pack. This prevents battery drain during shipping.
2. Secure Battery Pack: Screw the tail cover back on tightly. Ensure it is fully tightened to establish proper electrical contact and maintain water resistance. If not tight enough, the flashlight may not power on or charge correctly.
3. Initial Charge: Fully charge the battery pack before first use. Refer to the 'Charging Instructions' section for detailed steps.
