5. Maintenance
5.1 General Care

5.2 Battery Care
For optimal performance and to prevent potential damage, remove the AA batteries from the flashlight if it will not be used for an extended period. This prevents battery leakage, which can corrode internal components. Always use fresh, high-quality alkaline batteries for best results. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Light Not Turning On or Dim
- Check Batteries: Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with proper polarity and are not depleted. Replace with fresh batteries if necessary.
- Clean Contacts: Inspect the battery contacts and threads for dirt or corrosion. Clean them with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol if needed.
- Tighten Tail Cap: Make sure the tail cap is screwed on tightly. A loose tail cap can interrupt the electrical connection.
6.2 Mode Switching Issues
- Proper Press: Ensure you are performing a quick press and release of the tail switch to change modes, not a full press that turns the light off.
