Tighten the head of the flashlight as far as it can go and adjust the magnetic charger to the tailcap.

CHARGER COLOR INDICATION

Charger not plugged in:

- Green – device is in waiting mode.

Charger plugged in:

• Green blinking — evaluation of battery voltage.
• Red blinking – clean the external and internal contacts of the tailcap, as well as the contact areas of the charger.
• Orange blinking – USB power source voltage is too low for correct continuation of charging or bad contact between charger and battery. Clean the tailcap and the threads of the flashlight parts, use a different power source.

- Red — charging with rated charging current is going on.

• Orange – USB power source voltage is too low, charging current is reduced.
• Green – charging is finished.

Operation

Before use: Tighten the tailcap as far as it can go.

IN ANY MODE

Permanent on. First full click of the button turns the flashlight on. Second full click turns it off.

Momentary on. Switched on by half-pressing of the button (no click) and active till the button is released.

To switch between types of operation unscrew and tighten up the head of the flashlight at least 10 times (during rotation the modes will be changing). The pause between the moves must be less than 1 sec. The flashlight blinks once, confirming the action.

HUNTING TYPE (BY DEFAULT)

Turbo. Before switching on the flashlight in Turbo mode, tighten the head of the flashlight if it is unscrewed.

Additional modes. Before switching on the flashlight in Additional mode, unscrew the head to 1/8 if it is tightened. Full click switches on the last used Additional mode.

Cycling through Additional modes. To switch the mode turn the flashlight off and on (by full click or half-pressing). The flashlight must not be turned off for more than 2 sec. The modes switch cyclically: Main1 - Main2 - Main3 - Strobe2 (if enabled).

Add/Remove Strobe2 in Additional modes. Switch on the flashlight by half-pressing at least 20 times. The flashlight must not be turned on for more than 1 sec. Last switch must be full click. The flashlight blinks once, confirming the action.

Remote switch must be used in Turbo mode.

TACTICAL TYPE

Constant light. Before switching on the flashlight in Constant light mode, tighten the head if it is unscrewed.

Changing Constant light modes. The head is tightened: unscrew it to 1/8 and tighten again in 1 sec. Turbo and Main2 will switch cyclically.

Strobe. Before switching on the flashlight in Strobe mode, unscrew the head to 1/8 if it is tightened.

Changing Strobe modes. The head is unscrewed: tighten it and unscrew to 1/8 again. Strobe1 and Strobe2 will switch cyclically.

Remote switch can be used in ANY mode.

Automemorizing. After switching off the last used mode is memorized for quick access at next switching on.

Safe high brightness modes. Turbo mode gives maximum brightness until the temperature of the flashlight and discharge current of the battery don't exceed critical values.

Digital Light Stabilization & Safe Soft-Start System allows to increase runtime, get longer lifetime of rechargeable battery and protect it from overdischarge or overheating.

Active temperature control. When the temperature of the flashlight becomes close to +58 °C, brightness decreases to safe value, allowing the flashlight to avoid overheating for a long period of time. In conditions of good air-cooling the flashlight delivers light without stepping down.

Low battery level. If brightness of the mode is approximately <25% from nominal value, the LED will flash 2 times (after 30 sec from switching on). If you are not sure whether it flashed or not, switch the flashlight off and on: if the battery is low, the flashes will repeat.

Lock-out function. Unscrew the tailcap to 1/4 for protection from accidental switching on.

Warnings

For stable operation of the flashlight in Turbo and Strobe2 modes we recommend branded 18650 Li-Ion batteries without PCB (unprotected) or with PCB which guarantees 10A discharge current.

The flashlight can get hot in Turbo and Strobe2 modes quickly and discharge the battery with high current. Don't leave it without your attention as very bright light might heat objects and cause fire.

For storage or transportation of the flashlight in a pocket or a bag it is necessary to activate the lock-out function to ensure protection from accidental switching on.

It is forbidden to charge the battery inside the flashlight when the ambient temperature is below 0 °C.

1. Always follow the instructions from this manual and recommendations on battery usage.
2. Apply only the recommended power sources.
3. Do not reverse battery polarity.
4. Do not modify or recast the flashlight and its components as it will deprive you of the warranty.
5. Do not allow water or any other liquid to leak into the flashlight.
6. Do not aim a switched-on flashlight at people's or animals' eyes — it can cause temporary blindness.
7. Do not allow children to use the flashlight without your assistance.

The producer will not be liable for any harm done to the user if it was caused by improper use of the product.

Care and Storage

It is recommended to clean the threads and O-rings off dirt and old grease once or twice per year. Remember that reliable protection from water and dust cannot be provided by worn out sealing. The fouling as well as lack of lubricant cause fast wear-out of threads and sealing rings.

To clean the threads do the following:

1. Unscrew the tailcap and remove the sealing ring carefully with a toothpick (do not use sharp metal things as they can damage the ring).
2. Wipe the sealing ring thoroughly with a soft cloth (or tissue). Do not use solvents. If the sealing ring is worn out or damaged replace it by a new one.
3. Clean the metal threads with a brush using ethanol. Be careful not to allow the applied liquid to get inside the flashlight or tailcap as it can cause fails in functionality of the flashlight.

After cleaning lubricate the thread and the sealing ring with polyalphaolefin-based silica grease, e.g. Nyogel 760G. The application of other types of grease is unacceptable. In case of active operation and exploitation in dusty environments, it is recommended to perform cleaning and lubricating of the parts as often as required.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND leaving power sources inside the flashlight for a long storage period, as batteries can leak for various reasons and damage the inner parts of the flashlight. If you want to keep your flashlight in a stand-by state with batteries in, first install new and high-quality batteries. Store the flashlight in acceptable for batteries operational temperature and revise the batteries' state at least once a month. If you have noticed any signs of defects, withdraw the batteries from the flashlight and dispose of them.
