Cautions on recharging
• Avoid charging in direct sunlight or in a vehicle
parked under direct sunlight, and make sure to
charge only when the ambient temperature is
between 41°F and 104 °F (5 and 40°C).
• Before charging, be sure that no dust or other foreign
objects attach to the USB plug.
• Do not subject the light to vibrations while charging.
• Once charging is complete, be sure to disconnect the
USB plug.
Cautions in use
• Charging, discharging, and storing in high tempera-
tures will cause the rechargeable battery to
deteriorate faster.
Do not place the light inside a vehicle or near a
heater.
• If the illumination time is significantly reduced even
after proper charging, the rechargeable battery may
be nearing the end of its service life. Dispose of the
battery as described in “Cautions for dispose”.

Cool and dry storage is recommended. For long period
storage, it is important to charge the battery 30
minutes every 6 months.
