Stated data has been measured according to the international flashlight testing
standards ANSI/NEMA FL1 using four quality NITECORE 18650 (3.7V 2600mAh)
battery or eight SYSMAX CR123 (3V 1550mAh) batteries under laboratory
conditions. The data may vary due to individual usage habits and environmental
conditions.

Operation instructions

Battery installation
Insert 4 × 18650 Li-ion or 8 × CR123 batteries with the positive (+) end
pointing toward the flashlight head. In special circumstances, such as
emergency situations, between one and three 18650 Li-ion or two and six
CR123 batteries may be used. After loading the batteries, the power
indicator light will blink to indicate the battery voltage. Please refer to the
"Power Tips" section of this manual for details.
Note: The potential risks of over-discharging batteries can include
leakage and explosion so caution must be exercised when using
less than 4 x 18650 or 8 x CR123. Ensure you know your batteries'
limits and use the TM15's emergency functionality sparingly.
Furthermore, maximum output may be reduced when using less
than the maximum amount of batteries.
WARNING
1. Insert batteries with the positive (+) end pointing toward the flashlight
head.
2. Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
3. Do not mix batteries of different types/brands.
4. Do not mix batteries of different charge levels.
5. Do not use lithium batteries without a protected circuit board.
6. This product does not support 18650 rechargeable Li-ion batteries
without a protection circuit board as these batteries are too short for
the TM15's battery compartment.
Charging the TM15
1. Connect the charging cable to the flashlight and the A/C power adapter
to the wall outlet as shown in the adjacent image. Fully charging four
depleted 18650 batteries takes approximately 7 hours.
2. Under normal charging conditions, the blue indicator light on the on/off
switch will blink twice every second.
3. If a problem is detected while charging the TM15 will stop charging and
the blue indicator will blink rapidly. This can be caused by faulty or
incorrectly inserted batteries.
4. When charging is complete, the blue indicator will remain on.
