SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
WARNING –
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURST HAZARD, OR INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY:
Lithium-ion batteries are small, compact and ideal for providing long-lasting power to this unit. However, they must be used and charged properly. Improper use can result in serious injury, fire, or death.
Lithium-ion batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition. Do not use the product in the presence of an open flame.
■
Do not place this lithium-ion battery powered unit in fire or apply heat to it.
■
Do not subject this lithium-ion battery powered unit to strong impacts or shocks. The battery in this unit contains safety and protection devices which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture or ignite.
■
Do not expose the lithium-ion battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.
■
Avoid storing this lithium-ion battery powered unit in the basement, bathroom or other areas of the house that are or may become wet or where humidity and moisture may concentrate.
■
Do not leave this lithium-ion battery powered unit in direct sunlight, or use or store the unit inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a
■
loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
Never charge this unit near heat or flammable objects.
■
NEVER THROW WATER ON A BURNING LI-ION BATTERY!
If a lithium-ion battery does catch on fire, it will burn even more violently if it comes in contact with water or
■
even moisture in the air. A fire extinguisher must be used.
Battery Charging and Capacity
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time.
When stored at room temperature with a full charge, Li-ion batteries will begin to discharge from the time they are manufactured, even when unused. Deep discharges also decrease their capacity. Battery life can be extended by the following:
Charge battery to full capacity before storage.
■
Optimal storage temperature for this unit is between 5°C and 20°C (41°F and 68°F).
■
Never discharge the battery fully.
■
Charge after each use.
■
Always charge at least once every 3-6 months if not in frequent use to prevent overdischarge.
■
Transportation of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before transporting a unit containing a Lithium-Ion battery.
■
Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery may, in certain cases, be specifically limited or prohibited.
■
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO WATERPROOF FLASHLIGHTS
The rubber O-ring acts to preserve the waterproof qualities of the flashlight. The O-ring seals the charging port cover to prevent water from entering the gap. An undamaged rubber O-ring and lens, and proper sealing of the charging port cover
before use are very important.
CAUTION –
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Attempting to remove the rubber O-ring, use of the unit with a damaged O-ring or lens, improper sealing of the waterproof charging port cover, and/or submerging this unit in water deeper than 6 feet (1.8 meters), for time longer than 2
■
hours and/ or in temperatures other than between 41ºF and 104ºF (5ºC and 40ºC), may cause the unit to no longer be waterproof. Do not use the unit if these conditions exist or it could sustain permanent damage.
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE USB PORT
IMPORTANT: Some household USB-powered electronics will not operate with the USB port provided with this device. Check the manual of the corresponding electronic device to confirm that it can be used with this type of USB port.
■
The USB port does not support data communication. It only provides 5V DC/1A to an external USB powered device. Make sure the rating of equipment plugged into the USB port does not exceed the amperage stated.
■
Do not attach USB hubs allowing connection of multiple personal electronic devices to the USB port.

BATTERY/CHARGE STATUS LED INDICATOR /
TRANSLUCENT USB POWER BUTTON
READING THE BATTERY/CHARGE STATUS LED INDICATOR
The battery/charge status LED indicator is located inside the translucent USB Power Button. It lights or flashes in two colors to indicate the following:
When charging:
Blue: Battery is in a fully charged state.
Blue (flashing): Battery is in a partially charged state.
Red (flashing): Battery needs to be recharged.
Red (flashing rapidly): The battery of the unit is overheated due to extensive use or recharging. The charging process will stop at this stage and will automatically resume after a cool down period.
When operating the USB port (once the translucent USB power button has been pressed):
Blue: Battery is operating at full voltage.
Red: Battery is operating at partial voltage.
Red (flashing rapidly): Battery is operating at low voltage, and should be recharged or the built-in low voltage protection will be activated and the unit will automatically shut down shortly. OR
The battery of the unit is overheated (due to extensive use or recharging), or is too cold (the ambient temperature has dropped below -20°C). Operation will stop at this stage.
CHARGING/RECHARGING THE FLASHLIGHT
This unit is shipped in a partially charged state. Charge unit after purchase and BEFORE first use until the battery/charge status LED indicator lights blue.
Recharge after each use until the charge status LED indicator lights blue.
IMPORTANT: When the unit is not in use, we recommend that the battery is charged at least every 3 to 6 months.
CAUTION –
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Never place the light face down on any surface when charging.
■
Make sure the flashlight is turned OFF during recharging, as operating the flashlight can slow the recharging process.
■
Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor performance.
■
Charging/recharging using the USB charging cable and a device with a USB power port (not supplied)
1. Make sure the power mode button and the translucent USB power button are both turned off* (the flashlight is not lit and the translucent USB power indicator/ power button is not lit).
* The translucent button does not operate the flashlight, only the USB power port.
2. Unscrew the charging port cover (counterclockwise) until the USB charging port is exposed.
3. Insert the USB charging cable into the USB port on the flashlight.
BC
4. Insert the other end of the USB charging cable into a device' s functional USB power port. The battery/charge status LED indicator will light or flash in one of two colors (as described in the "Reading the Battery/Charge Status LED
Indicator" section) to indicate the charging status.
5. Charge until the battery/charge status LED indicator lights blue.
6. When charging is complete, disconnect the USB charging cable from the device' s USB power port and the flashlight. Store the cable in a safe place.
7. Screw the charge port cover back in place (clockwise) until it is finger tight. Make sure it fits securely, but do NOT overtigthten.
OPERATING THE FLASHLIGHT
The power/light mode button is located at the bottom of the flashlight. It turns the flashlight on and off; and is also used to select high (bright), low (dimmer) and strobe (rapidly flashing) modes.
CAUTION –
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Do not operate while charging.
■
Make sure the flashlight' s USB port is turned off (the battery/charge status LED indicator is not lit) during operation.
■
IMPORTANT – To protect the unit's internal battery from damage and save energy:
If the Translucent USB Power Button is pressed to turn on the USB Port when the unit is operating in High Light Mode, the unit will switch automatically to Low Light Mode.
■
If the light' s battery voltage is low, the unit will switch automatically to Low Light Mode even if High Light Mode has been selected.
■
If the light' s battery voltage is very low, the built-in low voltage protection will activate after a short period of operation, then the unit will automatically shut down. This is a special feature to protect the unit' s internal battery from damage.
■
Recharge the battery before continuing use.
Notes:
The Battery/Charge Status LED Indicator will not light during cordless operation of the flashlight.
To check the battery status, make sure the flashlight is turned off, then press on the Translucent USB Power Button. The Battery/Charge Status LED Indicator will light or flash in one of two colors (as described in the "Reading the Battery/
