Operation Instructions

Battery Installation

Insert one 18650 battery or two CR123 / RCR123 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 Chameleon will not operate with incorrectly inserted batteries.

2. Ensure when turning the Chameleon on,

the beam is directed a way from the eyes of people or animals.

NOTICE

LOWER

The above data has been measured in accordance with the international flashlight

testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL1 using one x 3.7V

260

2600mAh Nitecore 18650 battery and 2 x 3V 1550mAh Nitecore CR123 batteries under laboratory conditions. The data may vary slightly during real-world use due to battery type, individual usage habits and environmental factors.

Momentary Illumination

Momentary illumination can be achieved by switching off the flashlight and then half pressing and holding the tail switch. Simply release the switch to turn the light off.

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.

Brightness Selection

Tips: Two side switches control the two main LEDs as well as strobe / beacon/

SOS modes. With the light turned on at the tailcap, press the left (white) switch repeatedly to cycle though the following WHITE LED brightness levels: ultra-low, low, medium , high and turbo. Once a desired setting is displayed, it will be saved by turning the light off at the tail switch. With the light turned on at the tailcap, press the right (color) switch repeatedly to cycle though the following COLORED LED brightness levels: Ultraviolet Mode -> secondary red -> secondary green -> secondary blue. Once a desired setting is displayed, it will be saved by turning the light off at the tail switch.

Instant Turbo / Instant Ultraviolet Mode

With the light turned off, press and hold a side switch and then press the tail switch to go directly to Turbo Mode or Ultraviolet Mode (left switch for turbo white and right switch for ultraviolet). This function is designed to provide instant access to the either the highest output of white light or ultraviolet mode. NOTE: When using two CR123A batteries in turbo mode, output will automatically reduce after 20 minutes of use to prevent overheating. Warning: Avoid exposing the eyes or skin of people or animals to

ultraviolet light.

Special Modes

With the light turned on, press and hold the left (white) switch to activate Strobe mode. Press and hold in succession to cycle: Location Beacon, SOS, Strobe mode. With the light turned on, press and hold the right switch (colored) all the way down for more than 1 second to active police warning signal. Press the switch again to turn this mode off.

NOTE: Among all special modes, only strobe mode can be saved.

Power Tips

1. With the light switched on, the blue power indicator will blink once every two seconds when power levels reach 50%.

2. With the light switched on, the blue power indicator will blink rapidly when power levels are low.

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.
