Troubleshooting
- If the spotlight flickers, works intermittently, changes modes automatically, appears dim or faded, or does not turn on, check and verify that:
- The ON/OFF trigger is moving normally and not stuck.
- The trigger lock is in the UNLOCK position.
- The batteries are inserted correctly according to the polarity (-,+) marked inside the battery holder. Incorrect polarity will cause the spotlight to appear dim.
- Each battery end is touching a metal contact in the battery holder.
- The battery holder contacts are clean and the springs are not bent sideways.
- The battery holder is inserted correctly according to the arrow marked on the battery holder.
- The spotlight's inner springs are firmly attached and not bent.
- The triangles on the battery holder and the battery compartment are aligned.
- The battery cover is twisted on tightly.
- Firmly press the ON/OFF trigger several times.
- If the spotlight still does not turn on, replace the batteries.
- If the problem persists, contact GearLight for a replacement.
Maintenance
-
Inspect the spotlight monthly. Carefully remove any debris or damaged batteries and clean any corrosion. If the spotlight is used less than once a month, remove the batteries between uses. Contact GearLight if there is any visible corrosion or damage.
