Strobe, SOS and Light-house
Memory: The output level and status will be stored when you power off the light and
restore at next power on.
Battery Installation
Unscrew the tail or battery tube and insert new batteries with positive (+) ends towards
LED assembly. Restore hand tighten. Depress tail cap pushbutton switch to test.
Note: Flashlight will not light if batteries are inserted in the wrong direction.
Damage may occur with reversed battery polarity.
CAUTION: MRV-SIDEKICK IV flashlights are high-output lighting devices. Due to
possible eye injury, DO NOT look directly into the reflector when the light is
switched on. Do not shine the MRV-SIDEKICK Ultra-III into the eyes of others.
Safety is your responsibility. External surface temperature will rise during prolonged
operation; this is a normal operating phenomenon.
Battery Replacement
If there is significant decrease in brightness of light output you should replace the batteries
with freshly charged batteries. Unscrew the LED-engine and remove the old battery.
Insert a new battery as mentioned in Battery Installation Guide
WARNING: Lithium batteries can explode or cause burns if disassembled, shorted,
recharged, exposed to water, fire, or high temperatures. Do not place loose batteries in a
pocket, purse or other container containing metal objects or store with hazardous or
combustible materials. Store in cool, dry, ventilated area. Follow applicable laws and
regulations for disposal.
Never use mixed-battery types or brands. Do not mix charged and uncharged
batteries. Input voltage limited to 12V, never use 4 x 16340 which may cause
circuit damage (with optional M-65 attached). Only use 2 x 18650 or 2 x 17650
or 4 x CR123A with M65. Power ON MRV-SIDEKICK IV at Ultra-out position
unattended over 15 minutes may cause overheating and damage.
Maintenance
Clean and lubricate threads with a clean cloth and apply thin coat of silicon-based lubricant
to rubber O-rings. Note: Do not use petroleum-based lubrication on O-rings. After
prolonged exposure to moisture, the bezel and batteries should be removed, inspected,
and dried if necessary.
WARNING: Lumapower reflectors are made with a highly precise process. Do not
touch or clean the reflecting surface using any cloth which may cause damage to the
surface material affecting the illuminating performance.
Inactive Periods.
If MRV-SIDEKICK IV is left unused for long period, the installed batteries should be
removed from the unit.
Output & Runtime
Accurately specifying light output (lumens) and runtime is complicated for LED flashlights.
Installed batteries and operating temperature are the main factors affecting the light
output and runtime. Lumapower cannot guarantee its products can reach the specification
under the using condition of users.
