StreamLight STRION, STRION LED / LED HP / LED HL - Manual

Please read this manual before using your flashlight. It includes important safety and operating instructions and should be saved. Flashlight must be fully charged before first use.

SAFETY

Use of light in "strobe" mode may cause seizure in persons with photosensitive epilepsy.

The Strion^® LED HL™ provides a powerful beam at the high setting. When operated for a long time, especially if not handheld, it will get uncomfortably warm. This is NORMAL and is not a defect. Any LED flashlight of similar size and performance will produce similar amounts of heat during operation. The only way to reduce operating heat is to SIGNIFICANTLY lower the output, or increase the size of the flashlight. While this heating may trigger the drop reflex if an unattended hot light is picked up, the temperature does not present a burn hazard. When used tactically for short periods of time to clear a room, check for intruders, etc., heating will not be a problem. When using the light for extended periods of time, use of the low power setting, if the illumination level is appropriate, will prolong battery life and reduce heat buildup.

1. While eye damage from the Strion^® LED, Strion^® LED HP or Strion^® LED HL^™ is unlikely, they are a Class 2 LED product.
   
   LED Radiation (RG-2)
   Do Not Stare Into Beam.
   May be harmful to eyes.
   Per IEC 62471 Ed 1.0:2006:07
2. The Strion series flashlights are not approved for use in hazardous atmospheres.
3. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important safety, operating and maintenance information for your flashlight and charger.
4. 
   To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, do not attempt to use the charger to recharge any other product. Likewise, do not attempt to charge the Strion family with any other charger.
5. Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the charger by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from a receptacle. Do not use a damaged charger.
6. Plug AC charger directly into an electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
7. Do not put any metal objects onto the charging terminals located in the charge holder.
8. Do not try to repair the unit or charger yourself. Take it to a qualified service facility or return it to the factory.
9. Use only battery #74175. The contact arrangement in the flashlight precludes the use of other batteries. Recycle worn out or damaged batteries properly. Do not attempt to incinerate the battery as it may explode in a fire. Handle the battery carefully an never allow it to short circuit.
10. Use of this product for other than a lighting device is not recommended. Streamlight specifically disclaims liability for other than recommended use.

USING THE LIGHT

The Strion^® features a tactical push button tailcap switch.

• Press tailcap button for momentary operation.
• With one hand, rotate tailcap clockwise with thumb and forefinger for steady on.
• Rotate tailcap counterclockwise two (2) turns for storage.
• Rotate facecap to adjust focus to desired beam.

The Strion^® LED, Strion^® LED HP and Strion^® LED HL™ feature a digital multifunction tail mounted tactical switch.

• Lightly press the tailcap button for momentary operation.
• Fully press the pushbutton switch once to turn the light on at full intensity.
• Press and hold the switch to cycle through brightness levels. Release at desired level.
• A quick double-click of the switch will activate the rapid flash function.
• A single press of the switch from any "on" mode will turn the flashlight off.

CHARGER FACTS

CHARGER MOUNTING

• The charger should never be mounted against any heat sensitive surface.
• The most secure mounting position is with the Strion^®/Strion^® LED vertical and head up.
• Before drilling any holes, make sure there is room to insert and remove the flashlight.
• Two (2) self-tapping screws are included to mount the charger.
  Use a 1/8th" drill bit.

LED CHARGE INDICATOR

• With the flashlight inserted properly the LED on the charger should light, indicating a proper charge path. It may take a second or two for the LED to light when the flashlight is first inserted.
• Charging...LED is steady.
• Charged...LED pulses shortly every second.
• Charge time is approximately 2.5 hours for the Strion^® and 3 hours for the Strion^®LED, Strion^® LED HP or Strion^® LED HL^™.

Charging temperature is between 20°F and 115°F. A safety circuit prevents charge outside that range.

• Temperatures outside this range may also cause the charge indicator to temporarily function abnormally.
• It is normal for the indicator to switch between steady and blink as the battery is "topped off".
• There is no danger of overcharge. The flashlight is designed to be in the charger continuously when not in use.

INSTALLATION IN VEHICLES

A 12VDC power cord (#22051) is equipped with a cigarette plug and is available for mounting a Streamlight charger in a vehicle. The plug can be removed and the wires can be attached directly to a power source for a more permanent installation. (A two amp fuse must be used on the positive lead.)

Before making electrical connections in a vehicle, keep in mind that a shorted auto battery can easily start a fire. Make all connections with insulated lugs or other connectors intended for such use. Be sure that your installation is fused. The striped power lead is positive and the unmarked lead is negative. The charger body is electrically isolated from the charge circuit and allows positive ground installations. The charger is diode protected and if connected in reverse polarity simply won't operate until connected properly.

Streamlight recommends connecting chargers to an unswitched source of power to ensure the flashlight is always fully charged. If the vehicle will not be driven for several days, the flashlight should be removed from the charger to avoid vehicle battery drain.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Simply unscrew the tailcap and slide the battery from the flashlight. Replace the battery inserting the contact end first and reattach the tailcap.

MAINTENANCE

• Keep all threads and o-rings lubed with silicon grease.
• Keep flashlight charger contacts clean at all times. Poor contact can cause charger malfunction. An abrasive pencil eraser works well to clean the contacts.
