The  exterior  can  be  cleaned  with  a  mild  soap  and  water.    Rinse  well 
and dry with a soft cotton cloth. 

Note:

  the  anti-reflective  coating  on  the  lens  can  be  abraded  by 

excessive  rubbing  or  cleaning.    Never  use  paper  tissues  or  paper 
towels to clean or dry the lens as the fibers are abrasive. 

8. Additional Notices and Cautions 

Notice:

  your  flashlight  protects  rechargeable  batteries  from  over-

discharge  under  most  conditions.    However,  we  still  recommend 
rechargeable  Lithium-ion  batteries  with  built-in  over-discharge 
protection for an added level of safety. 

Notice:

  only  install  fully  charged  rechargeable  batteries.    Using  a 

partially  charged  battery  may  result  in  the  battery  not  being  properly 
recognized as a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery.  This can lead to the 
rechargeable  battery  being  damaged  due  to  over-discharged  or 
sudden darkness when the battery’s protection circuit activates. 

Caution:

 some individuals may be sensitive to the effects of flashing 

lights.    Be  ready  to  render  assistance  if  an  individual  should  have  a 
seizure induced by your flashing light. 

Caution:

 your flashlight is very bright on the higher brightness levels.  

You should avoid looking directly into the reflector as the light can be 
intense enough to injure your eyes.  

Caution:

  a  sudden  total  failure  is  unlikely  but  is  still  possible.

 

  We 

recommend  you  always  carry  a  second  flashlight  during  critical 
situations (e.g., caving).

 

 We also recommend you carry enough spare 

batteries to cover your lighting requirements plus a reasonable safety 
margin.

 

 It is not necessary to start each trip with a new battery in your 

flashlight as long as you have spare batteries along. 

Caution:

  do  not  attempt  to  recharge  a  rechargeable  battery  if  you 

think it has been over-discharged or otherwise damaged.  Dispose of 
the  damaged  battery  immediately.    An  over-discharged  or  otherwise 
damaged battery can vent or explode when the battery is recharged or 
when the battery is subsequently used. 

Caution:

  water  –  especially  salt  water  –  in  the  battery  compartment 

will cause electrolysis, giving off hydrogen and oxygen – an explosive 
gas  mixture.    Electrolysis  will  also  cause  corrosion.    If  water  gets
