8. Troubleshooting
- Light not turning on: Check if the battery is inserted correctly with the positive end facing the head. Ensure the tailcap is fully tightened. The device might be in lockout mode; refer to the 'Lockout/Unlock' section in Operating Instructions.

- Light dims unexpectedly: The proximity sensor may have detected an object too close to the lens. Remove any obstructions. This can also indicate the battery is critically low.
- Charging not working: Ensure the MCC3 cable is properly connected to both the power source and the flashlight's tailcap. Check if the charging cable indicator light is red (charging) or green (charged). Clean the magnetic charging contacts.
