Battery Options
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.
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.
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.
