Warranty Information

Limited Lifetime Flashlight System Warranty/ One Year
Battery Pack Warranty

MAG INSTRUMENT, INC. (“Mag”) warrants to the original owner that this MAG-
TAC® LED RECHARGEABLE FLASHLIGHT SYSTEM (the “SYSTEM”) is free from
defects in parts and workmanship.
As to the flashlight and other components of the
SYSTEM, except the rechargeable NiMH battery supplied herewith, this warranty
lasts for the life of the original owner.
As to the NiMH battery, this warranty lasts for
one year from date of purchase. Registration is not required for warranty coverage.
Mag or an authorized Mag Warranty Service Center, for a handling fee of $18.00
(which includes the cost of packing and shipping the product back to the owner), will
repair the flashlight or other SYSTEM component or, at its option, replace a
defective flashlight or other SYSTEM component free of charge. This warranty is in
lieu of all other warranties and conditions, express or implied.

Exclusions: This warranty does not cover LED burnout and/or LED module failure
or damage to or failure of the SYSTEM or any component thereof due to alteration,
product misuse, lack of maintenance, or leakage of a NiMH battery more than one
year after date of purchase. (Product misuse includes, but is not limited to, installing
any non-rechargeable battery or any rechargeable battery pack other than a Mag®
battery pack or its technical equivalent.)

Mag disclaims any responsibility for incidental or consequential damages. Some
jurisdictions in Canada and the United States do not allow exclusion or limitation of
implied warranties, incidental or consequential damages and/or limitations on
transferability, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.

How and when to make a warranty claim: Before returning the flashlight or other
SYSTEM component for service, be sure you have followed the steps outlined in the
Troubleshooting Guide section of your MAG-TAC® LED RECHARGEABLE
FLASHLIGHT SYSTEM Owner’s Manual. If you have followed all of these steps and
the flashlight or other SYSTEM component fails to operate properly, proceed as
follows: 1. In case of NiMH rechargeable battery failure more than one year after
purchase date,
do not return the flashlight or other system component to Mag but
replace NiMH battery. You can buy replacement NiMH batteries directly from Mag
or from most retail outlets where Mag flashlights are sold. 2. For warranty returns:
Send the flashlight or other SYSTEM component (postage or shipping prepaid) to
Mag Instrument, 2001 South Hellman Avenue - 50600, Ontario, California, USA
91761-8019, Attention: Warranty/Repair Department, or to an authorized Mag
Warranty Service Center. Include a check or money order for $18.00 (which includes
the cost of packing and shipping the product back to you). For the location of an
authorized Mag Warranty Service Center in your area, consult the retailer where you
purchased the flashlight. For your protection and to expedite handling and/or postal
claims, we recommend that all returns be insured and sent Certified and/or Return
Receipt Requested.

In Canada and the United States this warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may have other rights which vary from state to state and from province to
province.
Where any term of this warranty is prohibited by the law of any
jurisdiction, such term shall there be null and void, but the remainder of this
warranty shall remain in full force and effect. To register your new Mag® flashlight
visit our website at www.maglite.com. From our home page just go to “Register
Your Flashlight.“

Inspection and Maintenance

Battery Pack – See Warnings Section for more information. Periodically (approximately every month) remove
the battery pack from the flashlight and visually inspect for signs of gas or chemical leakage. Indications of
leakage are discoloration of the plastic sleeve or white fuzzy material near the top (positive button) of each cell.
Another indication would be a bulging deformation of the bottom (negative flat end) of the cell can. If these
signs are observed the battery pack should be removed from service to prevent chemical damage to the inside
of the flashlight. See One Year Battery Pack Warranty for more information concerning warranty coverage.

Fully Charged Battery Storage – If you do not use your flashlight for long periods of time (four months or
more) we suggest you remove the battery pack from the flashlight to prevent chemical damage (acid leaks).
Electrical Contacts – The bare (bright) metal surfaces between the tailcap and barrel must be cleaned
periodically to ensure a good electrical contact. Also keep the tailcap spring clean. O-ring Seals and Screw
Threads
– To keep seals from drying out and the threads operating smoothly, apply several drops of clean
petroleum oil or jelly to these surfaces two or three times a year. Anodized Exterior Finish – The protective
finish on the flashlight is very durable; however, constant exposure to sunlight, water, chemicals, gases, etc.,
will dull, discolor and eventually destroy the protective finish. Care should be taken to avoid any harsh
environment.
