Warnings
The flashlight will get hot in Turbo mode quickly and discharge the battery by high current. Don't leave it without your attention as very
bright light can heat objects and be a cause of the fire.
1. Always follow the instructions from this manual and recommendations on battery usage.
2. Apply only the recommended power sources.
3. Do not reverse battery polarity.
4. Do not use different power sources together, i.e. old ones with new ones, charged with
discharged. Do not use different types of batteries combined as the element with less
capacity can be damaged.
5. Do not modify or recast the flashlight and its components as it will deprive you of the
warranty.
6. Do not allow water or any other liquid to leak into the flashlight.
7. Do not aim a switched-on flashlight at people's or animals' eyes – it can cause temporary
blindness.
8. Do not allow children to use the flashlight without your assistance.
The producer will not be liable for any harm done to the user if it was caused by
improper use of the product.
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 lubricant cause fast wear-out of threads and
sealing rings.
To clean the threads do the following:
1. Unscrew the tailcap and remove the sealing ring carefully with a toothpick (do not use sharp metal things as they can damage the ring).
2. Wipe the sealing ring thoroughly with a soft cloth (or tissue). Do not use solvents. If the sealing ring is worn out or damaged
replace it by a new one.
3. Clean the metal threads with a brush using ethanol. Be careful not to allow the applied liquid to get inside the flashlight or tailcap as
it can cause fails in functionality of the flashlight.
After cleaning lubricate the thread and the sealing ring with polyalphaolefin-based silica grease, e.g. Nyogel 760G.The application of
automotive and other improper grease can cause swelling and damage of the sealing rings.
In case of active operation and exploitation in dusty environments, it is recommended to perform cleaning and lubricating of the parts
as often as required.

To set/replace batteries:
1. Unscrew the tailcap.
2. Place the batteries with the positive contact (+) facing the head of the flashlight.
3. Adjust the tailcap and tighten it as far as it can go.
We DO NOT RECOMMEND to leave power sources inside the flashlight for a long storage period, as batteries (especially, non-rechargeable)
can leak for various reasons and damage the inner parts of the flashlight. If you want to keep your flashlight in a stand-by state with batteries
in then use new and high-quality batteries and store the flashlight in acceptable for batteries operational temperature and revise the batteries'
state at least once a month. If you have noticed any signs of batteries' defects then withdraw them from the flashlight and utilize. It is also
recommended to replace discharged batteries with new ones before the storage as the chance of leakage is higher with discharged batteries.

Low Battery Indication. If the brightness is <25% from the nominal value, the LED flashes 2 times
ONCE (after 30sec from switching on). If you are not sure if it flashed or not switch the flashlight
off and on: in case the battery is low flashes will repeat. Light output decreases to Firefly mode at
critical level.
Active temperature control (Prime C2 only). The flashlight can quickly heat up in Turbo mode.
When the temperature become +60°C – the brightness decreases by small steps. After cooling-
down (provided that battery voltage is sufficient) the brightness increases to the Turbo mode
again. This stepping goes cyclically to maintain the user's safety and the flashlight's
functionality. In conditions of good air-cooling the flashlight delivers light without stepping down
even in Turbo mode. There are no preset timers for stepping, but real-time active temperature
measurements.

Turbo. The mode is activated by double click in any mode. To
return to the last mode make double-click again.
Cycling through the Main modes. In ON-state press and hold
the button (in any mode): the 3 Main modes will start
switching cyclically. Release the button to select the desired
mode. In Turbo mode it starts cycling through the Main
