ENGLISH
If the light has been on for more than two
seconds in any mode, pressing the button
will turn the light off.
Mounting System
Charge is compatible with the following
mounting systems: Helmet Rail, Helmet
Mount, and MOLLE/PALS.
1. Charge is designed to attach directly
to the OPS-CORE ACH – ARC Helmet
Rail System. Charge can mount to either
left or right helmet rail. Slide Charge
dovetail into open end of helmet rail. The
locking tab and spring-loaded ball bearing
engage detents and secure Charge.
2. Helmet mount: LEFT SIDE mounting is
recommended to keep low profile. While
it is possible to mount Charge/Helmet
Mount on right side, this increases risk of
snagging. Remove screws from the plastic
mounting plate and choose the appropriate
metal U-clip. Slide the U-clip onto the bot-
tom edge of the helmet. If excessive play
is present, bend the metal clip with pliers
until there is about 1mm of play between
the clip and helmet. Attach the plastic
mounting plate on the outside of the hel-
met. Holding the metal mount tight against
the bottom of helmet edge, tighten both
screws until secure. Slide Charge dovetail
into open end of helmet mount. The lock-
ing tab and spring-loaded ball bearing
engage detents and secure Charge.
3. MOLLE/PALS mount: Slide MOLLE
mount onto any strap position, then line
up Charge with open end of MOLLE
mount and slide the two together. The
locking tab and spring-loaded ball bearing
engage rail detents to secure Charge.

Troubleshooting
If the Charge fails to light:
• Check battery for proper installation.
• Replace battery if proper installation
is confirmed.
• Check the light for water contamination
on the circuit board by removing the five
screws located on the back of the light
body. Remove batteries if there is water
in the electronics, and cease use until the
light has completely dried out. If moisture
accumulates inside the lens, remove the
bezel with a small screwdriver and open
the lens to allow moisture to evaporate.

ately. Remove battery during long periods
of storage. NOTE: Rechargeable NiCad
