Note: if you must extend dying batteries - for whatever reason - you should
immediately select a lower brightness setting. The lower the setting selected the longer
the batteries will last.
Note: if you continue to use your light after it has dropped to the lowest brightness
level - where it blinks continuously - it is assumed you are in an emergency situation.
In an emergency situation, your life is more important than your rechargeable batteries
and your light will sacrifice the batteries to keep the light on.
Note: if your batteries have an excessively low voltage when you turn your light off,
your light will delay turning completely off until the battery voltage has recovered
sufficiently to enable it to turn back on. While waiting for your batteries to recover, the
light will glow dimly.
Note: the length of time your batteries will last depends on how you use your light, the
type and quality of battery you are using and how cold it is. Due to the LED tolerances,
you will see flashlight to flashlight runtime variations when operated under the same
conditions.
High Temperature Indication
Your light can get quite warm on the higher brightness levels. If you hold on to your
light with a bare hand during operation, your body will conduct away any excess heat
and prevent your light from getting too hot. However, if you place your light on a
table or hold it with a gloved hand, the excess heat is not easily conducted away and
your light can get hot. Before your light becomes dangerously hot, a thermal sensor
detects the increasing temperature and reduces the power and brightness. Your light’s
temperature is regulated so you can always pick it up safely and to prevent damage to
the LED.
Your light remembers the restricted brightness level and will not allow you to use a
higher brightness level as long as your light remains on. Turning your light off and
then back on resets the restricted brightness level and allows you access to all
brightness levels if your light is cool enough to allow them.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodically clean the threads and O-ring with a clean lint-free cloth and apply a thin
coat of silicon or petroleum-based grease to threads and O-ring. If the O-rings become
worn or damaged, they should be replaced.
