TACTICAL TYPE
Constant light. Before switching on the flashlight in Constant light
mode, tighten the head if it is unscrewed.
Changing Constant light modes. The head is tightened: unscrew it to
1/8 and tighten again in 1 sec. Turbo and Main2 will switch cyclically.
Strobe. Before switching on the flashlight in Strobe mode, unscrew the
head to 1/8 if it is tightened.
Changing Strobe modes. The head is unscrewed: tighten it and un-
screw to 1/8 again in 1 sec. Strobe1 and Strobe2 will switch cyclically.
Remote switch can be used in ANY mode.
Automemorizing. After switching off the last used mode is memorized
for quick access at next switching on.
Lock-out function. Unscrew the tailcap to 1/4 for protection from
accidental switching on.
Safe high brightness modes. Turbo modes give maximum brightness
until the temperature of the flashlight and discharge current of the
battery exceed critical values.
Safe Soft-Start System allows increasing runtimes, getting lon-
ger battery life and protecting the battery from overdischarge or
overheating.
Active real-time temperature control. When the temperature be-
comes close to +58 °C, the brightness decreases, which allows avoiding
flashlight and battery overheating, as well as LED degradation. Under
good cooling conditions, the flashlight delivers light without stepping
down.
Low battery level. When the battery voltage drops, the brightness
will begin to decrease in steps to ensure the safety of the battery and
the user. When the brightness of the mode drops below approximately
25% from the nominal value, the main LED flashes 2 times. If you are
not sure whether it flashed or not, turn the flashlight off and on: if the
battery is low, the flashes will repeat 30 seconds after switching on.
Warnings
For effective operation of the flashlight in Turbo and Strobe2 modes,
the use of branded 18650 Li-Ion batteries without PCB (unprotected)
or with PCB which guarantees 10A discharge current is required.
The flashlight can get hot in Turbo and Strobe2 modes quickly and
discharge the battery with high current. Don't leave it without your
attention as very bright light might heat objects and cause fire.
For storage or transportation of the flashlight in a pocket or a bag
it is necessary to activate the lock-out function to ensure protec-
tion from accidental switching on.
It is forbidden to charge the battery inside the flashlight when the
ambient temperature is below 0 °C.

Care and Storage

It is recommended to clean the threads and O-rings off dirt and old
grease once or twice per year. Remember that reliable protection from
water and dust cannot be provided by worn-out sealing. The fouling as
well as lack of grease cause fast wear-out of the threads and sealing
rings.
To clean the threads do the following:
1. Unscrew the tailcap and remove the sealing rings carefully with a
toothpick (do not use sharp metal objects as they can damage the
rings).
2. Wipe the sealing rings thoroughly with a soft cloth (or tissue). Do not
use solvents. If the sealing ring is worn out or damaged, replace it
with a new one.
3. Clean the metal threads with a brush using ethanol. Be careful not to
allow the applied liquid inside the flashlight, as it can cause malfunc-
tioning of the flashlight.
After cleaning, grease the threads and the sealing rings that have
been installed in place with polyalphaolefin-based silica grease, e.g.
Nyogel 760G. The application of other types of grease is unacceptable.
In case of active operation and exploitation in dusty environments, it is
recommended to clean and grease the parts as often as the necessity
arises.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND leaving power supplies (especially
non-rechargeable) inside the flashlight for a long storage period, as
they can leak for various reasons and damage the inner parts of the
