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.
