Low Battery Indication
As the battery becomes depleted, the light will step down to 50% of
its previous brightness. This process repeats as the battery weakens.
The battery should be replaced before the light reaches the lowest
brightness level.
Installing a New Battery
Unscrew the battery compartment at the head or the button cap.
Insert a new battery into the battery compartment so the positive
terminal is toward the front of the light. Be sure both the head
and button cap are screwed on snugly. If the battery is inserted
backwards the light will not turn on.
A rechargeable battery must be fully charged before installation.
When changing to or from a rechargeable battery a Battery-Detect-
Reset is required.
Battery-Detect-Reset
1. Turn the light on.
2. Unscrew the battery case until the light turns off.
3. Screw the battery case back together; there will be one
second of dim light.
4. During the one second of dim light, press and hold the button.
5. You will see ve seconds of bright light, followed by dim light.
6. Release the button when the light goes dim.
7. The Battery-Detect-Reset is complete.
If the button is released during the brighter light period, the Error
Flash Sequence of six rapid ashes will be displayed. The light will
not detect the new battery conguration and damage may occur to
the rechargeable battery.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodically clean the threads and O-rings with a clean, lint-free
cloth, and apply a thin coat of non-conductive silicon or petroleum
grease to the threads and O-rings. If the O-rings become worn or
damaged, they should be replaced.

The internal electrical contacts can be cleaned using a cotton swab
moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Be sure to remove any cotton
bers that may be left behind.
The exterior can be cleaned with a mild soap and water. Paper towels
or tissues should be avoided when cleaning the polycarbonate lens
as scratching may result.
Warnings
The LED on the higher brightness levels can be intense enough to
cause injury to the eye. Looking directly into it should be avoided
at all times.
The disorienting strobe can induce seizures in certain individuals.
Please use with caution.
Use only Lithium CR123A (3V) non-rechargeable or Lithium-ion (4.2V)
rechargeable batteries. Use of rechargeable batteries with internal
over-discharge circuits can cause sudden darkness if the circuit
activates. The ashlight includes over-discharge protection so non-
protected batteries may safely be used.
