Maglite Rechargeable Flashlight System Instructions Manual

							Changing the Lamp
The Halogen Lamp
For the ultimate in flashlight power as well as practicality, 
the Mag-Lite® Rechargeable Flashlight System™  features 
a halogen, tungsten filament, pin-type replaceable lamp
(bulb). Though small in size, its specifications are large: 
6 volts, 8.4 watts and a rating of 50 hours.
*
 CAUTION:This bulb is pressurized and CAN SHATTER OR EXPLODE,
causing PERSONAL INJURY. Wear protective eyeglasses and clothing
when handling; never scratch bulb’s glass envelope; never splash bulb
with liquids. Bulb BURNS VERY HOT and CAN CAUSE BURN INJURY
OR HEAT OR FIRE DAMAGE. Remove battery pack and let bulb cool at
least two minutes before handling; avoid operating near materials that
are flammable or prone to heat or drying damage. Dispose of lamp 
with care.
Removing the Lamp
1.Holding the largest part of the
flashlight’s head, unscrew the face
cap/reflector assembly. It will come
out with the face cap. This is
factory assembled and should not
be taken apart (Fig. 15).
2.Holding the barrel in one hand
(Fig. 16), gently lower the head
until it touches the Charging Ring
Module (two silver rings). This
reveals the lamp for replacement. 
3.Grasp the lamp firmly (Fig. 17) with thumb and forefinger. Pull straight
up until lamp’s pins are clear of receptacle. Do not dispose of old lamp in
fire or trash compactor. 
 CAUTION:Lamp is pin-type; do not apply excessive pressure.
4. The New Lamp
Line up the new lamp’s pins (Fig. 17) with the 2 holes in receptacle and
apply a straight downward pressure.
Note:The receptacle is spring-loaded and the entire unit (receptacle) will
move down about 1/4 inch. When the glass of the lamp touches the
receptacle, release pressure and let go. Gently wipe bulb surface with a
clean, soft cloth to remove fingerprints.
5.Raise the head of the light (Fig. 15) to its full up position. Reinsert face
cap and reflector assembly and screw on tightly.

Problem Cause/CorrectionFlashlight:Does not light1. Tighten tail cap – make sure unplated area of tail cap and barrel
are clean.
2. Check if battery is installed … see page 9.
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 9). Charge
for 15 minutes … check for light. If it lights (even momentarily)
charge it, if not, replace it (battery).
Switch sticks1. Return flashlight to Mag Instrument (see warranty).Works intermittently1. Check for damage to battery casing.
2. Foreign particles inside barrel.
3. Lamp not seated properly.
Poor or no spot1. Lamp needs centering (see page 10).
2. Damaged lamp (filament off-center) — replace.
Recharger/Cradle:LED indicator does1. Tighten tail cap.not light when 2. Check plug connection to converter.flashlight switch is3. Check plug to power source.in off position.4. Check Switch-off procedure (see page 9).
5. Make sure large end of battery spring is snapped into tailcap.
Inspection and MaintenanceBattery 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 side 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-Volt Converter
After mounting the Charging Cradle in a
proper location, plug the special matching
electrical connectors together at the wire ends of
the Cradle and Converter. Plug the Converter into
an appropriate 120 volt wall receptacle.
Note: Total usable wire length is 8 feet.
