Note: The stated data is measured in accordance with the international flashlight testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL1, using 1 x 18650 Li-ion battery (3,500mAh) under laboratory conditions. The data may vary in real world use due to different battery usage or environmental conditions.
*The runtime for TURBO mode is tested without the temperature regulation.
* TURBO Availability: The TURBO level is only accessible when using an 18650 rechargeable Li-ion battery with an output over 8A or an IMR 18650 high-drain rechargeable Li-ion battery.

Using 2 x CR123 Batteries:

FL1 STANDARD	TURBO	HIGH	MID	LOW	STROBE

	IP68, 2m (Waterproof and Submersible)

Note: The stated data is measured in accordance with the international flashlight testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL1, using 2 x CR123 batteries (approx. 1,700mAh in total) under laboratory conditions. The data may vary in real world use due to different battery usage or environmental conditions.
* The runtime for TURBO mode is tested without the temperature regulation.

Battery Installation

Operating Instructions

Battery Installation

Insert the battery(s) as illustrated and screw to tighten the tail cap.
Note: After the battery insertion, the power indicator beside the tail switches will flash to indicate the battery voltage. Please refer to the "Power Indication" section of this manual for more details.

1. Ensure the battery(s) is/are inserted with the positive end towards the head. The product will not work if the battery(s) is/are incorrectly inserted.
2. Please use the battery magazine when using 2 x CR123 batteries to avoid battery rattling and to ensure a stable contact.
3. DO NOT direct the beam to the naked eyes.
4. When the power level is low, please stop using the product and replace or recharge the battery to prevent damage to the battery.
5. When the product is kept in a backpack or left unused for prolonged time, please remove all batteries to prevent accidental activation or battery leakage.
6. DO NOT submerge the light into any liquid when it is hot. Doing so may cause irreparable damage to the light due to the difference of air pressure inside and outside of the tube.

Charging Function

The P22R is equipped with an intelligent charging system. As illustrated, rotate the dustproof ring to reveal the charging port after inserting the battery, and then use the USB cable to connect an external power supply (e.g. a USB adapter or other USB charging devices) to the charging port to begin the charging process.

• During the charging process, the charging indicator will flash slowly to inform the user.
• When the battery is fully charged, the P22R will cease the charging process and the charging indicator will become steadily turned on to inform the user.
• When the charging status is abnormal (e.g. the battery is broken/inserted incorrectly), the P22R will cease the charging process and the charging indicator will flash quickly to inform the user.
• When the light is on, connecting to a power source will automatically turn the light off. The light will return to its previous status when it is disconnected from the power source.
• The charging time for an 18650 Li-ion battery (3,500mAh) is approx. 6.5 hours. (Charged via the 5V/1A adapter)

Tactical Momentary

Illumination Half press and hold the Power Button to turn on the light momentarily. Release to turn it off.

On / Off

On:When the light is off, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to turn it on.
Off: When the light is on, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to turn it off.

User Mode Selection

The P22R provides 3 user modes (Daily Mode, Law Enforcement Mode and Tactical Mode) for different users and situations.

• Daily Mode (Default Setting):
  In this user mode, there are 4 brightness levels (LOW, MID, HIGH and TURBO) and STROBE Mode available. The P22R will memorize and re-access any of the 4 brightness levels or STROBE Mode when reactivated. When the light is on, short press the Mode Button (STROBE READY™) to cycle through the following brightness levels: LOW – MID – HIGH – TURBO.
• Law Enforcement Mode:
  In this user mode, there are only 2 brightness levels (MID and TURBO) and STROBE Mode available. It will automatically access TURBO when reactivated. When the light is on, short press the Mode Button (STROBE READY™) to switch between TURBO and MID.
• Tactical Mode:
  In this user mode, only TURBO and STROBE are available. It will automatically access TURBO when reactivated.

To select a desired user mode

1. Ensure the light is turned off.
2. Loosen the tail cap.
3. Keep holding the Mode Button (STROBE READY™) on the tail cap while simultaneously tightening the tail cap.
4. Once the tail cap has been tightened, the LED will indicate a user mode selected by flashing once for Tactical Mode, flashing twice for Law Enforcement Mode and flashing three times for Daily Mode.

STROBE READY™

• When the light is off in any user mode, press and hold the Mode Button (STROBE READY™) to access the STROBE Mode. Release to turn it off.
• Daily Mode:
  When the light is on, long press the Mode Button (STROBE READY™) to access the STROBE Mode. Short press the Mode Button (STROBE READY™) again to return to the previously memorized brightness level.
• Law Enforcement Mode:
  When the light is on, long press the Mode Button (STROBE READY™) to access the STROBE Mode. Short press the Mode Button (STROBE READY™) again to return to TURBO.
• Tactical Mode:
  When the light is on, short press the Mode Button (STROBE READY™) to access the STROBE Mode. Short press the Mode Button (STROBE READY™) again to return to TURBO.

Power Indication

When the battery is inserted, the power indicator will flash to show the battery voltage (±0.1V). For example, when the battery voltage is at 4.2V, the power indicator will flash 4 times followed by a 1.5-second pause and 2 more flashes. Different voltages represent the corresponding remaining battery power levels:

1×18650 battery
2×CR123 batteries

Note: When using two CR123/RCR123 in series, the indicator will show the average voltage between the two batteries.

ATR (Advanced Temperature Regulation)

The integrated ATR technology regulates the output of the P22R according to the working condition and ambient environment to maintain the optimal performance.

Changing Batteries

The batteries should be replaced when the output appears to be dim or the flashlight becomes unresponsive due to low power.

Maintenance

Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a thin coating of siliconbased lubricant.
