Mode Selection

The P20UV offers three different modes of illumination for different users and
situations:
Tactical Mode: this mode only provides turbo and ultraviolet outputs, and is ideal for
self-defense, emergencies and tactical operations.
Law Enforcement Mode: this mode provides medium, turbo and ultraviolet outputs.
Turbo is the default state. This mode is designed for law enforcement officers and
patrol guards.
General Mode (default mode for first time use): this mode provides low, medium,
turbo and ultraviolet outputs. With the light turned on, press the
on the tail to cycle through all four outputs. General mode provides an intelligent
memory function to ensure direct access to the setting last used when reactivated.
NOTE: 1. When using ultraviolet output, the P20UV is capable of sustaining a
constant output for 13 hours with 1 x 3.7V 2600mAh 18650 Li-ion battery;

2. When in medium and turbo mode, the P20UV will reduce output luminance
automatically after 3 minutes of use to prevent batteries from overheating and
extends battery longevity.

WARNING: Avoid eye or skin exposure to the ultraviolet light.

Power Tips

Two integrated LEDs built into the tail switch blink to indicate remaining battery power
when the tail cap is tightened after battery installation. The power indicators will blink
three times when power levels are above 50%; twice when power levels are below
50%; and once when battery power is close to depletion.
NOTE: When batteries are already installed and a precise power reading is required,
ensure the P20UV is powered down for 20 seconds before retightening the tail cap to
detect battery power status.
