or intrinsically safe lighting is required.
DO NOT use this product in the proximity of vehicles or equipment when
there is a risk of fl ammable liquids coming into contact with the fl ashlight.
Light can become hot while on. To prevent damage DO NOT cover or

Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight or use or store the battery inside
cars in hot weather.
Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to
get wet.
Do not store the battery with metallic objects that may cause a short circuit.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if the battery emits an unusual
smell, feels hot, changes color, changes shape or appears abnormal in any

INITIAL USE
Fully charge the TAC before the fi rst use, or if the battery is new or has
been unused for several months. The maximum charge time required is
approximately 4 hours.
DAILY USE
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.
Connect the AC power adapter to the charger. The LED indicator will not
be illuminated at this point.
With the fl ashlight facing forward, slide the TAC into the charger until the
contacts snap into place.
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.
The total time to full charge the TAC varies depending on the remaining
charge in the battery pack.
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.
OPERATION
The TAC has fi ve light modes: momentary fl ashlight, full brightness
fl ashlight, medium brightness fl ashlight, low brightness fl ashlight and strobe.
The TAC has a single tail switch providing access to all modes.
MOMENTARY FLASHLIGHT MODE
Lightly press the tail switch for momentary operation. Release the switch
to turn the light off.
CONSTANT-ON
Press the tail switch until it clicks and then release for constant-on in high-
brightness mode. Press and release the tail switch again to turn the light off.
SELECT BRIGHTNESS LEVEL
Press and hold down the tail switch. The light will cycle from high to
medium to low and then back up again at a rate of approximately one mode
per second. The light will continue to cycle up and down through the various
modes as long as the tail switch is held down. When the desired brightness
level is reached, simply release the tail switch, and the light will remain in that
brightness mode. Pressing and holding the tail switch again will cause the
light to cycle from whatever mode it is currently in. Press and release the tail
switch to turn the light off.
STROBE FUNCTION
To activate the strobe, rapidly double click the tail switch. The strobe can
be activated from any mode including off. Press and release the body switch
to turn the strobe off.
CR-123 BATTERY CARRIER
The CR123 battery carrier converts the TAC from rechargeable Lithium-
ion to non-rechargeable Lithium battery operation.
Load two CR-123 Lithium batteries with the positive terminals pointing in
the direction of the arrow. NOTE: The fl ashlight cannot be charged with the
CR-123 CARRIER installed.
