Warranty Information
Limited Lifetime Flashlight System Warranty/ One
Year Battery Pack Warranty
MAG INSTRUMENT, INC. (“Mag”) warrants to the original owner that this
Mag Charger® 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 Charger® 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

are clean. See fig. 14
2. Check if battery is installed … see page 8.
3. Check if battery is installed with (+) positive end toward head of
flashlight.
4. Make sure large end of battery spring is snapped into tailcap.
Battery charged? 1. Check battery charge: Place flashlight in recharger/cradle. Make
sure LED lights up with flashlight switch off (see page 8). Charge
for 15 minutes … check for light. If it lights (even momentarily)
charge it, if not, replace it (battery).

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.
12 Volt Adapter (Automobile)
Plug the DC power cord’s adapter into the 12–14
volt cigarette lighter receptacle of the vehicle.
DO NOT leave adapter plugged in for any
extended period while the engine is “off”
to avoid draining vehicle battery.
120-240 Volt Converter (Indoor)
After mounting the charging cradle in a
proper location, plug the converter into an
appropriate 120-240 volt wall receptacle.
Note: Total usable wire length is 8 feet.
