mounted to the bracket and it lights up.

checking the indicator periodically while using.

ommend you carry a spare cartridge battery and light.

er may adversely affect the reading of the computer.

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 tem-
peratures will cause the rechargeable battery to
deteriorate faster. Do not place the light inside a
vehicle or near a heater.
• When the operating time decreases significantly,
the battery life is close to an end. Replace the
cartridge battery with a new one.
Cautions on storage
• Cool and dry storage is recommended. For long
period storage, it is important to charge the battery
30 minutes every 6 months.
• When you store the cartridge battery alone, be sure
to install the cap.

short circuit.
