• Note: When using the banned battery, it will probably cause damage to the flashlight.
• Battery Replacement: Unscrew the light head to put in the battery with the anode side (+) toward the light head, screw the light head back on to test.

Usage and Maintenance

• Please don’t disassemble the sealed head; doing so can cause damage to the flashlight and will void the warranty.
• Please use high-quality batteries; if the flashlight is not to be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the flashlight could be damaged by electrolyte leakage or battery explosion.
• Due to the momentary-on tactical switch, perhaps the flashlight will activate unconsciously.
• To avoid this case, please unscrew the light head for half a turn before putting it into the bag.
• The O-ring may be worn out after using for a long time. If this happens, please replace the  O-ring with a new one to keep the flashlight properly sealed against water.
• Please clean the contacts of your light from time to time, especially if the light flickers or doesn’t light up. There may be several reasons for a flickering or not working light:
  • Reason A: The battery needs replacing.
    • Solution: Replace the battery (Please confirm the correct installation of anode and cathode).
  • Reason B: The threads, PCB board contact, or other contacts are dirty.
    • Solution: Clean the contact points with an alcohol soaked cotton swab.
• If the above methods don’t work, please contact the distributors and refer to the warranty policy.
