FLASHLIGHT OPERATION

FLASHLIGHT OPERATION
Insert two lithium-ion 18650 batteries by inserting the "+" end into flashlight first as shown (Fig. 2). Replace tailcap by turning clockwise. Overtightening the Tailcap can damage the O-Ring. Spare O-Ring provided in packaging must be stretched to fit.


Power Operation: To turn the flashlight on/off, fully depress the Tailcap Switch Button (Fig. 3).

5 Modes of Operation: To switch between modes of operation, partially depress the Tailcap Switch Button.

Modes Include:
High Beam / Medium Beam / Low Beam Disrupter Signal Strobe / SOS Rescue Signal

Zoom Feature: Turn flashlight on. Hold the barrel of the flashlight while pulling the head (zoom) back and forth to operate the zoom focus.

CHARGER OPERATION

CHARGER OPERATION
Insert battery/batteries into the charger slots. One or two batteries may be charged at a time. The battery positive (+) end should be facing towards the LED indicator (Fig. 4). Plug the charger into a wall outlet. Incorrectly inserting the batteries will prevent the batteries from being charged and the LED indicator will not illuminate. A red power indicator will illuminate which indicates charging. The green power indicator should illuminate once the batteries are fully charged (typically 6-8 hours for a 3000mAh capacity battery). Never leave charging batteries unattended.

Charging Indicator Lights

  • Turns red to indicate proper charging
  • Turns green when charging is complete
  • Flashes red when batteries are inserted backwards

Note: Sometimes the green indicator light will not come on when the batteries are charged. This typically happens when there is not good contact between the battery and the charging contact point. You may need to spin the batteries while they are on the charger and the lights will stabilize.

Only use Solaray or other premium 18650 lithium-ion batteries. Other low quality batteries may damage the charger and/or flashlight. Recycle or dispose of batteries properly.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

For prolonged life and efficiency, it is necessary periodically to inspect and perform preventative maintenance on your flashlight as follows:

  1. Inspection - Any battery may leak caustic solutions or gases which can corrode the inside of your flashlight. You should remove the batteries at least once a month and visually inspect the inside of the flashlight for signs of corrosion.
  2. Separate Storage Of Batteries - If your flashlight is used infrequently, e.g., once a month or less, it is recommended to remove the batteries and store them separately. This helps guard against corrosion and may also prolong battery life.
  3. Maintenance - Place a small amount of petroleum jelly on all threads and rubber lip seals every six months. If your flashlight is exposed to moisture, or water, lubricant should be applied more frequently.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you're experiencing a problem, please follow these troubleshooting steps.

Flashlight will not turn on

Test with two fully charged 18650 lithium-ion batteries (see CHARGER OPERATION). If they are exhausted, weak, or damaged, replace them with new Solaray premium 18650 lithium-ion batteries.

Flashlight still will not turn, or will not stay, on.
If replacing the batteries does not solve the problem, check the tailcap. The metal surfaces contacting the barrel, tailcap and battery terminals should be shiny metal without obstruction between them. Any corrosion or dirt should be carefully removed.

If all of the above steps have been followed and the flashlight still does not perform properly, follow the steps in the How and When to Make a Warranty Claim section, or see the Customer Service section at www.solarayproducts.com


AVOID EYE INJURY - Do not stare directly into beam or point it directly into anyone's face. Doing so for more than a few seconds could cause retinal damage. Not recommended for use by children under fourteen years of age. Any battery may leak harmful chemicals which may damage skin, clothing or the inside of the flashlight. TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY, DO NOT LET ANY MATERIAL LEAKED FROM A BATTERY COME IN CONTACT WITH EYES OR SKIN. Any battery may rupture or explode if put in a fire or otherwise exposed to excessive heat. TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY, DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERIES TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. To reduce the risk of personal injury or harm to your flashlight, take the following precautions:

  • Use only 18650 lithium batteries from a reputable manufacturer.
  • Do not use different brands of batteries in the same flashlight.
  • When replacing batteries, always replace the whole set.
  • Do not use rechargeable or reusable alkaline batteries.
  • Do not try to recharge batteries that are not specifically designed to be recharged.

  • batteries must be inserted correctly. Failure to do so could cause permanent damage to the LED module.
  • Follow battery manufacturer's instructions as to proper handling, storage and disposal of batteries.
  • Carefully follow the steps listed under INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE.
