Troubleshooting
Flashlight does not turn on
Ensure that 3 C batteries are correctly inserted with the proper polarity. Check that the rear cap is screwed on tightly. If the problem persists, try replacing the batteries with a fresh set.
Light is dim or flickering
This usually indicates low battery power. Replace all 3 C batteries with new ones. Also, check the battery contacts inside the flashlight for any dirt or corrosion and clean them gently with a dry cloth.
Flashlight does not turn on after being dropped
Even though it's shockproof, a severe impact could still dislodge components. Check battery insertion and ensure the cap is tight. If it still doesn't work, contact customer support.
Water damage (if exposed to more than splashes)
If the flashlight has been submerged or exposed to more than light splashing, turn it off immediately. Remove the batteries and let the flashlight dry completely in a well-ventilated area for at least 24-48 hours before attempting to use it again. Avoid using it if you suspect internal water damage.
