In general, primary (non-rechargeable) batteries provide longer
runtimes. However, rechargeable batteries provide a lower cost of
operation and allow you to always leave home with a full battery.
5. Thermal Limits
Your flashlight monitors the LED temperature and the external
flashlight temperature to protect the LED and to prevent the exterior
from becoming too hot to safely handle. If either temperature nears
the safety limits, your flashlight will automatically step down to a lower
power setting to control the temperature. This is typically only
necessary on the maximum continuous level when Burst is disabled.
Your flashlight will automatically reset the thermal limit when it is
turned off and back on again.
6. Disabling the Switch
The switch can be disabled by unscrewing the battery compartment
from the head by one half turn. This will leave the O-ring completely
covered.
You restore operation of the switch by screwing the battery
compartment completely into the head.
7. Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodically clean the open end of the battery compartment, the
threads and O-ring with a clean lint-free cloth lightly moistened with
isopropyl alcohol. Apply a coat of non-conductive silicon or petroleum
grease to these surfaces.
Replace the battery compartment O-ring if it becomes worn or
damaged. O-ring: 1.5mm x 20.5mm, 70 durometer Nitrile (Buna-N).
The recessed electrical contacts and interior threads in the head can
be cleaned using a lint-free swab lightly moistened with isopropyl
alcohol. Recessed contacts and threads should be cleaned in a
counter-clockwise direction to prevent snagging the swab in the
threads. Be sure to remove any particles or fibers that may be left
behind. Apply a coat of non-conductive silicon or petroleum grease to
the interior threads and contacts.
