~DANGER:
• To avoid risk of damage to eyesight, never look directly into the beam when the light is
on, nor shine it directly into another person’s eyes.
•Any battery may rupture or explode if put in a fire or otherwise exposed to excessive
heat. To avoid risk of injury, do not expose batteries to fire or excessive heat.
• Never short-circuit a battery pack by bringing the terminals in contact with a metal
object. Explosion, burns, other bodily injury or fire could result.
• Never try to disassemble or repair the AC adapter or charging cradle. Electric shock
may result. Contact a Mag Authorized Warranty Service Center for repairs.
• Never alter the plug on your AC adapter or charging cradle. If the plug will not fit into the
available outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Trying to plug into
an improper outlet can result in electric shock.
ƽWARNING:
•Any battery may leak harmful chemicals which may damage skin, clothing, or the inside
of the flashlight. To avoid risk of injury, do not let any material leaked from a battery come
in contact with eyes or skin.
• Never heat and never attempt to disassemble the battery pack, as that could cause
leakage of caustic electrolyte. In the event of skin contact, wash the affected area
immediately and obtain prompt medical attention.
• Never allow liquids to spill on the AC adapter or charging cradle and do not charge
outdoors, as the unit is not waterproof. Exposure to rain or other liquid could result in fire
or electric shock.
OCAUTION:
• Never store or transport flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the flashlight or its accessories, as possible sparking in the equipment
could ignite a fire or explosion.
• Always secure this flashlight in its charging cradle when not in use. Never place the
flashlight on the passenger seat or anyplace else in the car where it can become a
projectile during a collision or sudden stop.
• Never expose the terminals of the battery pack to any metal object. When transporting a
battery pack outside the flashlight, wrap it or place it in a plastic bag, or put insulating tape
over the terminals.
• Do not charge or operate the flashlight near flammable materials.
• Do not charge battery in gas-tight enclosures as hydrogen gas is emitted under certain
conditions and can explode if concentrated and confined.
• Do not operate flashlight with the face cap off and the LED on and exposed. Personal
injury or damage to heat sensitive materials may result, e.g. plastics, rubber, cloth
fabrics, etc.
ṇNOTICE:
To reduce the risk of harm to your flashlight:
• Locate power cord away from foot traffic, heavy objects and other causes of abrasion or
stress.
• Never pull on the power cord when unplugging the AC adapter. Grasp the plug directly
to avoid damaging the cord.
• Between uses, disconnect AC adapter or charging cradle from power source.
• Do not use non-rechargeable batteries in your Rechargeable Flashlight System.
• Use only a MAG® rechargeable battery pack (Model No. ARXX235) or its technical
equivalent.
• Always install the battery pack with the positive (+) end facing the head end of the
flashlight and the negative (-) end facing the tailcap end.
• For prolonged storage, remove battery pack and store apart from flashlight.
• Carefully follow steps listed under “Inspection and Maintenance” in this manual.
• Never try to disassemble the flashlight, its components or accessories. For service,
return the unit to a Mag Authorized Warranty Service Center.
• Always use genuine Mag Charger® replacement parts and accessories. Never connect
the flashlight to any auxiliary product that has not been approved by Mag Instrument, Inc.
Use of an unauthorized accessory that is not the technical equivalent of an authorized
accessory may damage the product and void your warranty, and could possibly result in
fire, electric shock or other bodily injury.
• Exposure of the flashlight and accessories to excessively high temperatures above 122˚F
(50˚C) can heat-damage plastic parts, electronic components and the battery.
• Never store this flashlight in temperatures below -4˚F (-20˚C). Doing so may damage the
flashlight’s electronic components.
• System 1, 3, and 6: The AC Adapter requires the use of a standard 120 V AC power
source for its operation. Or, 12 V DC with the optional Cigarette Lighter Adapter.
• System 4, and 5: The AC Adapter requires the use of a standard 230 V AC power source
for its operation. Or, 12 V DC with the optional Cigarette Lighter Adapter.
• Discontinue use immediately if you notice changes in the battery such as discoloration or
malformation.
• Recharge the Battery at temperatures: 32˚F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C) to avoid hazardous gas
venting from the battery cells and potentially reduced battery capacity.
• After extended and /or high temperature storage, NiMH batteries may accept a less-
than-full charge even with full recharging time. Capacity returns to normal after 1 to 3
charge/discharge cycles.
• Never use an AC adapter or charging cradle with a damaged or worn power cord or
plug. This could result in electric shock, burns or fire. Contact a Mag authorized warranty
service center to obtain a replacement.
• Unplug the AC adapter or charging cradle from the power source before attempting any
cleaning in order to avoid the risk of electric shock.
