and injury to t e user.

Dealing ith a Flooded Light
If your lig t floods, t ere are a few t ings you need to do:
• Do not continue to use t e lig t.
• Turn t e lig t off and disconnect t e lig t ead from t e battery pack
as soon as possible. If t ere is any water in t e battery canister, drain
t e water and allow it to dry. DO NOT REINSTALL THE CANISTER LID.
