Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the flashlight with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives.
• Water Resistance: Ensure the rubber plug covering the USB-C port is securely sealed to maintain IPX-4 water resistance.
• Storage: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
• Battery Care: Recharge the battery regularly to prolong its lifespan, even if not frequently used.

Troubleshooting

• Flashlight not turning on: Ensure the flashlight is unlocked (4 quick clicks on either button). Check battery charge level and recharge if necessary.
• Difficulty with modes: The Black CAT has multiple modes. Refer to the "Operation" section and practice the button sequences. Some modes, like Strobe, are intentionally easy to access for emergencies but may require familiarity to avoid accidental activation.
• Magnetic tail not holding securely: Ensure the surface is clean and flat. The magnetic tail is designed for convenience but may not hold on all surfaces or at extreme angles.
• Reduced brightness/runtime: This may indicate a low battery. Recharge the flashlight. Overheat protection may also temporarily reduce brightness in Turbo mode.
