DAILY USE
y Use only the supplied Nightstick charger, battery and AC or DC adapter. For best
performance, charge the TAC when the fl ashlight beam starts to dim.

illuminated at this point.
y With the fl ashlight facing forward, slide the TAC into the charger until the contacts
snap into place.
y The LED indicator changes to constant red indicating the TAC is properly inserted
into the charger and is in fact charging. The LED indicator remains red until the battery
is fully charged. At full charge, the LED indicator turns green.
y The total time to full charge the TAC varies depending on the remaining charge in
the battery pack.
y To confi rm a full charge, keep the TAC in the charger and turn it on. The LED indicator
will change to red. Turn off the TAC. If the TAC is fully charged, the LED indicator will
turn green. If not, it remains red until the charge is completed and the LED indicator
turns green. The TAC will now be fully charged.
