This can be caused by debris and/or corrosion of the battery contact inside the flashlight A pencil eraser can be used to clean this contact and should restore the flashlight to normal operation. Procedure: Apply the eraser with moderate pressure against the battery contact and rotate the pencil several times in both clockwise and counter clockwise directions. Remove the pencil and wipe the eraser on a clean piece of paper to remove collected debris. Repeat this procedure until the contact is clean. If the corrosion is heavy and cannot be easily removed by this method, then please contact MAG Warranty at 1-800-283-5562 for instructions on sending your flashlight to MAG Instrument Inc. for service.
