Battery Installation
Unscrew the tailcap to install or replace the batteries.
Lock-out Tailcap
Models with a lock-out tailcap are shipped with machined marks aligned in the lock-out position to prevent accidental activation. To unlock and place in momentary-on position, rotate the tailcap clockwise approximately one turn.
Momentary-On
Depress the tailcap pushbutton to activate the light in momentary mode.
Constant-On
From the momentary-on position, rotate the tailcap clockwise approximately one-half turn to achieve constant-on activation.
Lithium batteries can explode or cause burns if disassembled, shorted, recharged, exposed to water, fire, or high temperatures. Do not place loose batteries in a pocket, purse, or other container containing metal objects, mix with used or other battery types, or store with hazardous or combustible materials. Store in cool, dry, ventilated area. Follow applicable laws and regulations for disposal.

Battery Installation
Unscrew the tailcap and insert new batteries. Replace tailcap and depress tailcap pushbutton switch to test. If light fails to function the tailcap may be in the lock­out position (excluding the G2 Nitrolon®, which does not feature a lock-out tailcap). Rotate the tailcap clockwise until momentary activation is possible.
Light Activation
For momentary light, press the tailcap pushbutton switch. The light will stay on as long as the pushbutton is pressed. Rotate the tailcap clockwise for constant-on light.
Lock-out Tailcap (pat. # 6222138)
From the momentary-on position, rotate the tailcap approximately 180º counter-clockwise. The lock­out position prevents accidental activation during storage or transport.
Maintenance
At least twice yearly, clean threads and O-rings with clean cloth and apply a thin coat of silicone-based grease or lubricant to both. If flashlight is used in wet environment, lubricate O-rings frequently to maintain watertight seal. After prolonged exposure to moisture, the bezel, lamp, and batteries should be removed, inspected, and dried if necessary.
Lamp Replacement
Rotate bezel (head) counter-clockwise to remove. Remove lamp/reflector assembly and replace with recommended assembly.

CAUTION
CAUTION
SureFire flashlights produce substantial heat during operation. Do not leave activated flashlight unattended. Do not set activated flashlight face (lens) down. Do not place activated flashlight against combustible material or material that could be damaged by heat. Do not hold bezel or lens of activated flashlight against any portion of human body. Keep away from children.
Ensure that the flashlight cannot be turned on when stored or being transported. If the lamp is activated while in a case or other container, the lamp could overheat and cause damage to surrounding materials. For models not equipped with a lock-out feature, remove the batteries or unscrew the bezel enough to prevent accidental activation.
Do not touch a hot lamp assembly. Allow it to cool before handling. Avoid touching reflector surface. SureFire lamp assemblies are pressurized. Always wear safety glasses when handling.

Tungsten Filaments
With Xenon/Halogen Gas
To achieve maximum light output, SureFire lamps feature a tungsten filament in a high­pressure xenon/halogen gas atmosphere.
Metal Vapor
Coated Reflectors
To achieve a perfect beam free of dark rings and shadows, reflectors are coated with a proprietary finish that causes light to bounce off the reflector at varied angles and cancel out any beam irregularities.
Pre-Focused Reflectors
No need to twist the bezel to adjust the beam – it’s already perfectly pre-focused. Lamps and reflectors are individually mated and hand-adjusted to within .005" for optimum beam quality at all distances.
Lithium Batteries
In addition to packing a lot of power into a small space, SureFire disposable lithium batteries have a ten-year shelf life. Put a lithium-powered light in a drawer and years later it will still work.
Rugged Construction
SureFire lights are CNC machined from aerospace-grade aluminum or molded from Nitrolon, a proprietary polymer that is non­conductive and extremely resistant to corrosion and impact. Available finishes include a Military Specification Type III hard-anodizing.

SureFire strives to design and manufacture lights of ever-increasing brightness and quality while setting new standards for maximum power with minimal size. Three things characterize every product: compact size, extreme ruggedness, and a flawless high-output beam. Every SureFire illumination tool is guaranteed to produce a perfect center spot of intense light surrounded by a smooth corona of softer light.
