Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Flashlight does not turn on. | Battery is discharged or improperly seated. | Charge the battery fully. Ensure the battery is correctly inserted. |
| Light output is dim or inconsistent. | Low battery charge. Lens or reflector is dirty. | Recharge the battery. Clean the lens and reflector with a soft cloth. |
| Magnetic charging is not working. | Charging cable or port is dirty/damaged. Power source issue. | Clean the magnetic contacts on both the cable and the flashlight. Try a different USB power adapter or outlet. Ensure the cable is securely connected. |
| Flashlight becomes warm during prolonged use. | High power modes generate heat, which is normal. | This is expected behavior. If it becomes excessively hot or uncomfortable to hold, switch to a lower power mode. |
