NEVER THROW WATER ON A BURNING LI-ION BATTERY! If a lithium-ion battery does catch on fire, it will burn even more violently if it comes in contact with water or even moisture in the air. A fire extinguisher must be used.

Battery Charging and Capacity

This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time.

When stored at room temperature with a full charge, Li-ion batteries will begin to discharge from the time they are manufactured, even when unused. Deep discharges also decrease their capacity. Battery life can be extended by the following:

Charge battery to full capacity before storage.
Optimal storage temperature for this unit is between 5°C and 20°C (41°F and 68°F).
Never discharge the battery fully.
Charge after each use.
Always charge at least once every 3-6 months if not in frequent use to prevent overdischarge

Always check all applicable local, national, and international regulations before transporting a unit containing a Lithium-Ion battery.
Transporting an end-of-life, damaged, or recalled battery may, in certain cases, be specifically limited or prohibited.

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO WATERPROOF FLASHLIGHTS

The rubber O-ring acts to preserve the waterproof qualities of the flashlight. The O-ring seals the charging port cover to prevent water from entering the gap. An undamaged rubber O-ring and lens, and proper sealing of the charging port cover before use are very important.

CAUTION – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:

Attempting to remove the rubber O-ring, use of the unit with a damaged O-ring or lens, improper sealing of the waterproof charging port cover, and/or submerging this unit in water deeper than 6 feet (1.8 meters), for time longer than 2 hours and/ or in temperatures other than between 41ºF and 104ºF (5ºC and 40ºC), may cause the unit to no longer be waterproof. Do not use the unit if these conditions exist or it could sustain permanent damage.

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE USB PORTS

IMPORTANT: Some household USB-powered electronics will not operate with the USB ports provided with this device. Check the manual of the corresponding electronic device to confirm that it can be used with this type of USB port.
The USB ports do not support data communication. They only provide power to an external USB powered device (5V DC/1A using the USB port on the flashlight or AC/USB charging adapter). Make sure the rating of equipment plugged into the USB port does not exceed the amperage stated.
Always connect the charging adapter to the 120 volt AC power source before plugging any devices into it.
Do not attach USB hubs allowing connection of multiple personal electronic devices to the USB port on the charging adapter.
