Frequently sked Questions
Q. How long can I leave the flashlight in the Charging Cradle (on charge)
without using?
. Indefinitely ... but beyond 30 days of non-use, no purpose is served. When not in use,
good practice would dictate disconnecting the units power plug. Battery self-discharge
would be less than 1% per day.
Q. How long can I expect my lamp (bulb) to last?
*
. 50 hours, not counting mechanical shock abuse. Lamps become more fragile toward
end of lamp life.
Q. Why is there a dark spot in the beam when light is adjusted to flood?
. The Mag Charger® Rechargeable Flashlight System reflector is designed for the best
spot possible. What you see in the flood position of the reflector is a redistribution of the
light to the widest part of the reflector.
Q. Can I touch the glass of the lamp with hands, and if so, will the oils cause
lamp damage?
. You can touch the glass when it's off/cool without fear of lamp damage. However,
it is always good practice to wipe lamp with a soft cloth or tissue after handling.
*Lamp life may vary.

Q. If dust occurs inside my reflector, how do I clean it without damage to the
reflector?
. Use a camel hair brush lightly or blow with dry air. Use the same care that you would
give a precision camera lens.
Q. Can the lens break?
. Yes; however, due to the type of composition and seal, it is much stronger than a
regular glass lens.
Q. How do I get a fingerprint off my reflector?
. Use a camera lens cleaner and a lint-free cloth.
Q. If the small red light in the Charging Cradle does not light, how do I know
whether it's the flashlight or the Charging Cradle that's at fault?
. With the Charging Cradle plugged in and the flashlight not in the Charging Cradle, place
a coin, paper clip or metal object across the pins in the Charging Cradle. If the red light
goes on, that means the charging cradle is functioning properly and the fault is in the
flashlight. Otherwise, the problem is in the charging cradle.
Optimizing Spot Beam with the Light off
To obtain the best "spot pattern" and beam focus it is important to center the
bulb in the bottom opening in the parabolic reflector. The bulb has two pins
which allow for this adjustment. fter inserting the bulb in the receptacle, apply
a slight pressure on the bulb with your thumb and index finger to obtain
alignment (Fig. 14). Place the reflector over the bulb and look through the clear
lens to visually inspect for proper centering. Re-adjust as required.
Gently wipe bulb surface with a clean, soft cloth to remove
fingerprints.
W RNING: Do not look at lamp when flashlight is
on. Do not touch the lamp until it has cooled for at
least two minutes.
