contact. Do not activate (turn on) light in enclosed area. Avoid accidental
wireless activation.
WARNING
Caring for the battery
Store the light at room temperature in a dry place. Avoid moisture, or extreme
hot or cold.
Store the light in the charged condition. Avoid ‘deep discharge’. Battery life will
decrease if the battery is stored in a fully discharged condition.
Over time, the run time of the battery will diminish. Expect about 500 full
charges, depending on care. After a full life, the battery will continue to charge
but with a lower run time. When the run time is unsatisfactory, do not open the
case of the light or incinerate; please recycle.
Traveling with the battery
Li-ion batteries cannot be shipped by air due to airline regulations. When
traveling by air, place the light in your carry-on.
Recycling
Please recycle the battery. In the US, you can find out
where to do this at www.call2recycle.org
