Output & Runtime
NOTICE
The above data has been measured in accordance with the international
flashlight testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL1 using 4 x Nitecore 186503.7V
3400mAh) and 8 x Nitecore CR1233V 1700mAh batteries under laboratory
conditions. The data may vary during real-world use due to battery type,
individual usage habits and environmental factors.
the words “LOCK OUT” as a reminder.
2. When TM26GT is kept in a backpack or left unused for extended
periods, Nitecore recommends the battery compartment is loosened to
cut off the power entirely, thus saving battery power and preventing
accidental activation of the flashlight.
Power Tips
1. With the light turned, the power indicator will blink once every two
seconds when power levels are below 50%.
2. With the light turned, the power indicator will blink rapidly when power
levels are below 10%.
Note: When the light is being used in ultra-low mode, the blue power
indicator will turn off to help conserve power.
Thermal Protection
As the TM26GT is very compact, extended operation in Turbo mode will
cause the body temperature to continually rise, thus, making it too hot to
comfortably hold. As a result, Nitecore does not recommend using the
TM26 in Turbo mode for extended periods. The TM26 has an integrated
thermal protection circuit which prevents overheating. With the light
turned on in Search/Turbo mode, for user safety and to protect the
flashlight from failure, the TM26 will automatically reduce its output to
prevent overheating once it has reached 60 degrees.
Precaution: When the flashlight is hot, do not attempt to cool it by
submerging it in liquid. Due to the differences in internal
and external air pressure the TM26 may suffer irreparable
water damage.
Changing / Charging Batteries
When the power indicator blinks rapidly it means the batteries need to be
replaced or recharged. Alternatively if the light becomes dim or
unresponsive to adjustment this also indicates batteries need to be
replaced or recharged.
Maintenance
Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a
thin coating of silicon-based lubricant.

TM 26GT
Note 1: Using less batteries than standard specification increases battery
output voltage, and may lead to potential dangers. Nitecore
recommends using this feature only when necessary and for short
periods of time. Please see point number 1 in the warning section
below.
Note 2: After installing batteries, “NITECORE” will be displayed on the OLED
screen for 2.5 seconds followed by battery voltage (accurate to
0.01V) for 4 seconds, after which the TM26GT will enter into standby
mode.
WARNING
1. Using less than 4 x 18650 or 8 x CR123 batteries can lead to turbo mode
malfunctioning, trigger the overload protection circuit in Li-ion batteries and
can even lead to explosion of batteries. As such Nitecore recommends that
this function is used with caution and only when necessary.
2. Insert batteries with the positive (+) ends pointing outward.
3. Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
4. Do not mix batteries of different types/brands.
5. Do not mix batteries of different charge levels.
6. Do not use lithium batteries without a protection circuit board.
7. This product does not support unprotected flat-top 18650 Li-ion batteries.
Please also ensure that all the 18650 batteries used in the TM26GT have a
button top configuration or they will not make contact with terminals in the
battery compartment. We recommend Nitecore 18650 batteries for the best
performance and reliability.
Charging the TM26GT
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 on/off switch’s blue indicator light will
blink twice every second and the OLED screen will display the word
‘Charging...” together with battery voltage.
3. If a problem is detected during charging, the TM26GT will stop charging, the
blue indicator will blink rapidly and the OLED display will show the word
“ERROR”. This is usually caused by faulty or incorrectly inserted batteries.
4. When charging is complete, the blue indicator will remain on, and
“CHG.FINISHED” along with battery voltage will be displayed on the OLED
screen.
General Operation
NB: The TM26GT utilizes a 2-stage switch. The light’s numerous functions can
be accessed according to the depth the switch is pressed.
The TM26GT has two modes: Daily mode and Search mode. With the TM26GT
turned off, pressing the switch partway down will activate Daily mode.
Alternatively, with the TM26GT turned off, pressing the switch all the way down
will activate search mode. The TM26GT is turned off by pressing the switch all
the way down.
Brightness Selection in Daily Mode
1. In Daily mode, press the switch partway down to select a brightness level of
ultra-low, low, medium or high. The selected brightness level will be
memorized when the light is turned off.
2. In Daily mode, press the switch partway down and hold to enter turbo mode.
A second partway press will revert back to the brightness level last used.
Brightness Selection in Search Mode
In Search mode, press the switch partway down to cycle between high and
turbo-high levels. There is no memory effect in Search mode.
Momentary Daily / Search Mode
1. With the TM26GT turned off, press the switch partway down and hold to
activate Momentary Daily mode. Release the switch to turn the light off
again.
2. With the TM26GT turned off, press the switch all the way down and hold to
enter Momentary search mode. Release the switch to turn the light off again.
Standby Mode
With the TM26GT turned on, press the switch all the way down and release
within one second to enter standby mode. In this mode, the light will consume
small amounts of power to maintain the settings in the MCU (Micro Control
Unit). When in standby mode the power indicator light will flash once every
three seconds to show the location of the light.
OLED Display
1. When the TM26GT is turned on, the OLED display will activate automatically
and show lumen output, brightness mode, battery voltage, battery status,
approximate runtime and temperature. After displaying this information for
several seconds the OLED display will turn off. The display can be
reactivated by pressing the display switch and the information can be cycled
through with subsequent presses of the switch.
2. When in Standby mode, a single press on the OLED display switch will
activate the OLED and display battery voltage for 10 seconds.
3. When using Nitecore’s NBP52 high-performance battery pack, the actual
runtime will be twice the figure displayed on the OLED panel.
Note: The TM26GT has an integrated thermal protection circuit which
prevents overheating. Please refer to the “Thermal protection” section of
this manual for details.
Special Strobe / SOS mode and
Location Beacon
With the light turned on, press the switch all the way down twice in quick
succession to access strobe mode. When in strobe mode, press the switch
partway down to cycle through SOS, location beacon and strobe modes. To
select any of these modes simply release the switch when it is displayed. To
turn off the light (enter into standby mode) fully press and release the switch.
Note: When in any of the special modes, the OLED display will remain on to
display which mode is being used.
Demonstration Mode
When entering standby mode simultaneously press and hold the display switch
and the on/off switch to enter into Demonstration mode. In Demonstration
mode, the OLED screen will cycle through the TM26’s various messages.
Simply press any button to exit Demonstration mode.
Lockout Function
With the light turned on, press the switch all the way down and hold for more
than one second. The light will turn off and enter lockout mode. Lockout mode
consumes almost no battery power and prevents the light from accidental
activation. Simply press and hold the switch all the way down for more than
one second to exit lockout mode.
Note:
1. If the display button is pressed in lockout mode, the OLED display will show
