Charging the Battery
6
Total time to fully charge a dead battery is approx. 2.5 hours.
Before using your MAG-TAC®, place it in the charging cradle for at least one
hour, or until the LED indicator shows solid GREEN.
Your MAG-TAC® charger is compatible with PC USB ports. NOTE however,
charge times are slightly longer with a PC USB port than with the provided
MAGLITE® adapters.
DO NOT use any charging cradle, wall adapter, or generic battery charger
other than the ones provided with your MAGLITE®.
Make sure your light is Turned OFF (Mode 5) before inserting it into the
charging cradle.
Fault : Charger output is below the minimum threshold for normal
operation. Short circuit on charge terminals or component failure is
detected.
Pre Conditioning : Battery is dead. Cradle will charge battery at very low
rate, it will then proceed to Fast Charge.
Fast Charge : Cradle will fast charge the battery up to approximately 80%
capacity.
Top Off : Battery is at 80% capacity, cradle will perform a slow charge until
battery is 100% capacity.
Maintenance/Idle : Charge is complete. The cradle will maintain a FULL
charge state. The flashlight is left in the cradle and as the battery voltage
drops slightly over time, the cradle will switch between Top-off and an idle
state.
Battery removal and replacement
(only necessary when battery has reached the end of service life)
1. Use battery nut wrench to unscrew battery nut. Install wrench into Barrel
(tailcap end) and twist until wrench locates into nut. Continue to turn wrench
counterclockwise until nut is fully unscrewed.
Note: if wrench is unavailable the new battery has a hex on the negative end
that can be used.
2. Remove battery from barrel.
3. Install new battery into the barrel with hex end first (negative end),
toward the head end of the light.
4. Install battery nut into barrel and use wrench to tighten nut. (can also use
old battery)
Note: use caution not to cross thread battery nut into barrel.
5. Screw tailcap back onto barrel.

If your MAG-TAC® appears to go dim immediately after
turning it ON, it means your battery is almost dead. Charge it.
Rated Light Output is per ANSI specifications, with a fully
charged battery.
Rated Run-Time is per ANSI specifications, with a fully
charged battery, and with the light turned on and left on
constant.
Notes:
DO NOT attempt to use any battery other than the one
provided with your MAGLITE®.
Make sure your light is Turned OFF (Mode 5) before inserting
it into the charging cradle.
When not in use, your MAG-TAC® Flashlight should be
turned OFF and left in the charging cradle.

Warranty Information
Limited Lifetime Flashlight System Warranty/ One Year
Battery Pack Warranty
MAG INSTRUMENT, INC. (“Mag”) warrants to t e original owner that this MAG-
TAC® LED RECHARGEABLE FLASHLIGHT SYSTEM (the “SYSTEM”) is free from
defects in parts and workmans ip. As to the flashlight and other components of the
SYSTEM, except the rechargeable NiMH battery supplied herewith, t is warranty
lasts for t e life of t e original owner. As to the NiMH battery, this warranty lasts for
one year from date of purchase. Registration is not required for warranty coverage.
Mag or an authorized Mag Warranty Service Center, for a handling fee of 18.00
(which includes the cost of packing and shipping the product back to the owner), will
repair the flashlight or other SYSTEM component or, at its option, replace a
defective flashlight or other SYSTEM component free of charge. This warranty is in
lieu of all other warranties and conditions, express or implied.
Exclusions: This warranty does not cover LED burnout and/or LED module failure
or damage to or failure of the SYSTEM or any component thereof due to alteration,
product misuse, lack of maintenance, or leakage of a NiMH battery more than one
year after date of purchase. (Product misuse includes, but is not limited to, installing
any non-rechargeable battery or any rechargeable battery pack other than a Mag®
battery pack or its technical equivalent.)
Mag disclaims any responsibility for incidental or consequential damages. Some
jurisdictions in Canada and the United States do not allow exclusion or limitation of
implied warranties, incidental or consequential damages and/or limitations on
transferability, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.
How and w en to make a warranty claim: Before returning the flashlight or other
SYSTEM component for service, be sure you have followed the steps outlined in the
Troubles ooting Guide section of your MAG-TAC® LED RECHARGEABLE
FLASHLIGHT SYSTEM Owner’s Manual. If you have followed all of these steps and
the flashlight or other SYSTEM component fails to operate properly, proceed as
follows: 1. In case of NiMH rechargeable battery failure more t an one year after
purc ase date, do not return the flashlight or other system component to Mag but
replace NiMH battery. You can buy replacement NiMH batteries directly from Mag
or from most retail outlets where Mag flashlights are sold. 2. For warranty returns:
Send the flashlight or other SYSTEM component (postage or shipping prepaid) to
Mag Instrument, 2001 South Hellman Avenue - 50600, Ontario, California, USA
91761-8019, Attention: Warranty/Repair Department, or to an authorized Mag
Warranty Service Center. Include a check or money order for 18.00 (which includes
the cost of packing and shipping the product back to you). For the location of an
authorized Mag Warranty Service Center in your area, consult the retailer where you
purchased the flashlight. For your protection and to expedite handling and/or postal
claims, we recommend that all returns be insured and sent Certified and/or Return
Receipt Requested.
In Canada and t e United States t is warranty gives you specific legal rig ts, and
you may ave ot er rig ts w ic vary from state to state and from province to
province. Where any term of this warranty is prohibited by the law of any
jurisdiction, such term shall there be null and void, but the remainder of this
warranty shall remain in full force and effect. To register your new Mag® flas lig t
visit our website at www.maglite.com. From our home page just go to “Register
Your Flashlight.“
Inspection and Maintenance
Battery Pack – See Warnings Section for more information. Periodically (approximately every month) remove
the battery pack from the flashlight and visually inspect for signs of gas or chemical leakage. Indications of
leakage are discoloration of the plastic sleeve or white fuzzy material near the top (positive button) of each cell.
Another indication would be a bulging deformation of the bottom (negative flat end) of the cell can. If these
signs are observed the battery pack should be removed from service to prevent chemical damage to the inside
of the flashlight. See One Year Battery Pack Warranty for more information concerning warranty coverage.
Fully C arged Battery Storage – If you do not use your flashlight for long periods of time (four months or
more) we suggest you remove the battery pack from the flashlight to prevent chemical damage (acid leaks).
Electrical Contacts – The bare (bright) metal surfaces between the tailcap and barrel must be cleaned
periodically to ensure a good electrical contact. Also keep the tailcap spring clean. O-ring Seals and Screw
T reads – To keep seals from drying out and the threads operating smoothly, apply several drops of clean
petroleum oil or jelly to these surfaces two or three times a year. Anodized Exterior Finis – The protective
finish on the flashlight is very durable; however, constant exposure to sunlight, water, chemicals, gases, etc.,
will dull, discolor and eventually destroy the protective finish. Care should be taken to avoid any harsh
environment.
