The data may vary in real world use due to different battery usage or environmental conditions.

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 remaining power. 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. 
   Possible dangerous radiation! Don't look into the light! Maybe dangerous for your 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.

User Mode Selection

The P20 V2 provides 3 user modes for different users and situations.

• Tactical Mode (Mode 1): In this user mode, only HIGH Level and STROBE Mode are available. It will automatically access HIGH when reactivated.
• Law Enforcement Mode (Mode 2): In this user mode, there are only 2 brightness levels (MID of 200 Lumens and HIGH) and STROBE Mode available. It will automatically access HIGH when reactivated. When the light is on, short press the Mode Button (STROBE READY™) to switch between HIGH and MID.
• Daily Mode (Mode 3, Default Setting): In this user mode, there are 3 brightness levels (LOW, MID of 370 Lumens and HIGH) and STROBE Mode available. When the light is on, short press the Mode Button (STROBE READY™) to cycle through the following brightness levels: LOW – MID – HIGH. The P20 V2 will memorize and reaccess any of the 3 brightness levels or STROBE Mode when reactivated.

Note: The P20 V2 will automatically lower its output to avoid overheating and prolong the lifespan of the battery when accessing the HIGH or MID Level for over 2.5 minutes.

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.
5. To cycle through all 3 user modes, please repeat the above procedures.

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.
• 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 HIGH.
• Law Enforcement Mode & 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 previous brightness level.

Power Indication

When the battery is inserted, the power indicator located on the tail cap will flash to indicate the remaining power of the batteries:

1. Flashing three times indicates that the power is above 50%;
2. Flashing twice indicates that the power is below 50%;
3. Flashing once indicates that the power is near depletion.
   NOTE: As a precise power reading is required, please ensure the P20 V2 is powered down for at least 20 seconds before tightening the tail cap for this function.

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 silicon-based lubricant.
