User Manual

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.

NOTICE

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

testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL1 using one x 3.7V 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.

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.

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.
