Battery Options

Operation instructions

Battery installation

Insert one 18650 battery or two CR123

batteries with the positive pole pointing

forward (toward the light head).

WARNING

1. Ensure batteries are inserted with the

positive (+) end pointing to the head.

The P12 will not operate with incorrectly

inserted batteries.

2. Ensure when turning the P12 on, the

beam is directed away from the eyes of

people or animals.

Momentary illumination

Momentary illumination mode is accessed

by half pressing and holding the tail switch with flashlight turned off. Simply

release the switch to turn the light off again.

Switching ON/OFF

To switch ON: Press the button on the tailcap until a “click” is heard.

To switch OFF: Press the button on the tailcap a second time until a “click” is

heard.

General Operations

With the light turned on, press the side switch in quick succession to cycle

through the following brightness levels: ultra-low, low, medium and high. Once

a desired setting is displayed, it may be saved by turning the light off at the

tail switch.

Note: For user safety and to prevent overheating / failure, the P12 will

automatically switch to a lower mode after three minutes of use at its highest

level of output.

Special Modes

With the light turned on, press and hold the side switch to activate Strobe

mode. Press and hold once again to access Location Beacon mode and

repeat once more for SOS mode. To exit any one of these modes simply

press the side switch to be returned to your previously used brightness level.

NB: Strobe mode is the default special mode and is the only special mode

that has a memory function. If the light is turned off at the tail switch while in

strobe mode, strobe will resume when the light is next turned on. SOS and

Location Beacon modes have no memory function.

Power Tips

1. With the light switched on, the power indicator will blink once every two

seconds when power levels reach 50%.

2. With the light switched on, the power indicator will blink rapidly when power

levels are low.

3. With the light turned off, press and hold the side switch while

simultaneously pressing the tail switch to display the battery voltage

(accurate to ±0.1V) with a series of blinks. For example, when the battery

voltage is at a maximum charge of 4.2V, the power indicator will blink 4

times in quick succession, followed by a one second pause and two more

blinks, indicating a total battery voltage of 4.2V.

Changing Batteries

When the power indicator blinks rapidly this indicates the batteries need to be

replaced. Alternatively if the light becomes dim or unresponsive to adjustment

this also indicates batteries need to be replaced.

Maintenance

Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a thin

coating of silicon-based lubricant.
