Maintenance

Cleaning: Periodically clean the threads of the tail cap and the O-rings with a clean cloth. Apply a thin layer of silicone grease to the threads and O-rings to maintain water resistance.
Battery Care: If the flashlight is to be stored for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage. Recharge batteries every three months to prolong their lifespan.
Water Resistance: The P10ix is not water resistant. Avoid exposing the flashlight to water or high humidity. Ensure the USB-C port cover is securely closed at all times when not charging.
