TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
This document is intended to clarify and explain the most frequent questions regarding errors and issues with
Suprabeam flashlights and headlamps.
We encourage you to read it in order to get familiar with possible issues. Feel free to come back to it as often as
necessary, and to contact us in case you need any further assistance.
The Troubleshooting Guide is divided in to main product groups:
• Torches/Flashlights:
• Q-series
• Headlamps:
• V-series
• S-series
• Multilamps:
• M-series
An important information about the product is the “batch code” as it enables us to track the product that you are
experiencing issues with.
All Suprabeam products are marked with a batch code. The batch code consists of two letters and one digit (Example:
GK-1) and can be found on a white sticker when removing the battery.
You can find it inside the tube, or inside the battery pack
Headlamps:
Open the battery pack and remove the rechargeable battery or the alkaline batteries to reveal the white sticker inside
the battery pack.
Flashlights:
Unscrew the switch and remove the rechargeable battery or alkaline batteries. On Q3, Q3classic, Q3defend, Q4,
Q4defend the white sticker is found on the side of the battery pack, on all other torches the white sticker will be
inside the tube.
Multilamps:
Unscrew the endcap and remove the battery to reveal the white sticker.

OBSTRUCTING OBJECTS
Control the interior of the tube for any
object that may obstruct the contacts. Our
flashlights have a “Batch nr.” sticker located
inside the body of the flashlight. In some
cases this sticker may fall inside the tube.
1) Look inside the tube of the flashlight.
2) Make sure that the “Batch nr.” sticker
is placed properly and not fallen at the
bottom of the tube. Look also for any
other objects.
In some rare cases, it could happen that
the pins of the battery pack (only found on
some Alkaline products) get stuck or sunk. If
this is the case, it is necessary to take them
out to their normal position.
1) Check for any of the three pins to be stuck
or sunk inside the battery pack.
2) Take the pin out with tweezers.

and not drained from power.

cap firmly to ensure a proper contact.
NOTE: Replace the battery immediately in
case it is damaged in any way.
