Battery Installation

Unscrew the tail switch cap and insert 1×18650* Li-ion (rechargeable), 2X16340 Li-ion (rechargeable) or 2XCR123A Lithium (non-rechargeable) batteries. The (+) terminal on the battery should face toward the flashlight’s head.
Replace the tail switch cap and be sure to tighten snugly, but do not over tighten as this could strip the threads in the cap. Turn on the flashlight as indicated in any of the options listed in the table that follows. Note: If the tail cap is not tightened snugly, the flashlight will not turn on.

*Battery is included

How to charge the RG850

The RG850 will blink to indicate the battery is nearly depleted and needs to be charged.
Make sure the flashlight is turned off.
Unscrew the head of the flashlight to reveal the micro USB charging port.
Connect the RG850 to a power outlet using the included cable. The LED light next to the USB port will illuminate green to indicate you have power to the flashlight.
Once you see the green light, turn the flashlight on by clicking the button on the tail cap once. The light will turn red to indicate the battery is charging.
Once the battery is fully charged, the light will turn green.
Charging time is approximately 8 hours.

Maintenance and Precautions

Do not disassemble the sealed head. Doing so can cause damage to the flashlight and will void the warranty.
Use high-quality batteries or you run the risk of the flashlight being damaged by electrolyte leakage or battery breakage.
If the flashlight will not be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused from battery leakage.
Additional batteries that can be used in this flashlight are 2X16340 Li-ion (rechargeable) and 2XCR123A Lithium (non-rechargeable).
WARNING: This flashlight has been tested with a 18650 Li-ion (rechargeable) battery to ensure maximum performance. While the other battery types mentioned can be used, the performance of the flashlight may be reduced. Do not mix battery chemistries under any circumstances. This can cause rupture or leakage, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
The internal battery charger in this flashlight will only recharge 18650 Li-ion batteries. It will not recharge the other battery types listed above.
Replace batteries with the size and type specified in the Battery Installation instructions. Remove all used batteries from the device at the same time, then replace them with new batteries of the same size and type.
Lubricate the O-rings regularly using a Q-Tip®. Apply a small dab of silicone grease or petroleum jelly to the contacts to prevent corrosion. Doing so will keep the flashlight properly sealed against water. If the O-rings are damaged after prolonged use, replace them.
Clean the flashlight contacts periodically especially if the light flickers or does not light up. There are different reasons for a flickering or non-working light:

A: The batteries may need to be replaced.
Solution: Replace old/defective batteries with new ones (be sure to double check correct installation of + and – terminals).
B: The threads, PCB board contact or other contacts are dirty.
Solution: Use a Q-Tip® to apply a tiny amount of alcohol to clean the contact points.

If the above methods do not work, please refer to the warranty policy listed in this user guide.

Warning

The RG850 is a high-intensity lighting device and capable of causing eye damage. Please avoid shining the light directly into the eyes.
