Section 4
Your Battery's First Charge Is Important!
To assure the freshness of your battery and to avoid any operational problems
in shipping, it has been packaged in an UNCHARGED state.
For optimum operation of your flashlight, it should be charged a full
6 hours ... before using for the first time.
Battery Installation
If the battery was shipped outside of the flashlight: After you have removed the
flashlight from the Charging Cradle unscrew the tail cap (Fig. 8) and insert battery pack
(Fig. 9) into the barrel. The positive (+) end—this is the end with a button—goes into the
barrel first. Now screw on the tail cap and make sure it's tight.
NOTE: Large end of the battery spring must be snapped into the tailcap.
