Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance and appearance, clean the flashlight regularly:
- Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth.

Battery Care
For the built-in rechargeable battery:
- Recharge the battery when the light output becomes dim.

For AAA alkaline batteries (if used):
- Replace both batteries simultaneously with new ones.
- Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.
- Remove AAA batteries if the flashlight will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
