Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance, keep the flashlight clean. Wipe the body with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Ensure the flashlight is completely dry before reassembling or storing.
Battery Care
If the flashlight will not be used for an extended period, remove the alkaline battery to prevent potential leakage and damage to the device. If using rechargeable batteries, ensure they are charged periodically to maintain their lifespan, even when not in active use.
