Lockout / Unlock

Lockout: When the light is on, click the Power Button while holding the Mode Button and release both buttons to access Lockout Mode. The flashlight will flash once before turning off to indicate this process. After that, the power indicator will flash to show the battery voltage. (Please refer to the "Power Indication" section of this manual for more details.)
Unlock: In Lockout Mode, triple press the Mode Button to exit Lockout Mode. The flashlight will flash once to indicate this process.

Thermal Protection Function

The TM9K has Thermal Protection Function. It will automatically lower its output to avoid overheating when accessing the TURBO or HIGH Level for a prolonged time.

Power Indication

When the light is on, click the Power Button while holding the Mode Button and release both buttons to access Lockout Mode.
The flashlight will flash once before turning off to indicate this process. After that, 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:

When the light is on and the power level is close to 50%, the blue power indicator will flash every 2 seconds to inform the user. When the light is on and the power is near to depletion, the blue power indicator will flash quickly and continuously to inform the user.

Cautions

1. DO NOT cover the head of the flashlight or put it close to other objects when turned on to avoid accidents.
2. DO NOT submerge the flashlight 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.
3. When the flashlight is kept in the backpack or the holster, please activate the Lockout Mode.
4. DO NOT direct the beam towards naked eyes.
5. Please recharge the product with the original charging cable and a 5V/2A adapter or a QC adapter.
6. Please recharge the product before the first use.
7. Please recharge the product every 6 months when left unused for a long time.
