Warnings

Place this tactical penlight out of the reach of children.
Do NOT shine the tactical penlight directly into the eyes of anyone.
Do NOT shine the penlight at flammable objects at close range, to avoid burning objects or causing danger due to high temperature.
Do NOT use the tactical penlight in inappropriate ways such as biting it in the mouth, to avoid personal injury or life threats when the penlight or internal battery fails.
This tactical penlight will accumulate a lot of heat while working, resulting in a high temperature of the penlight shell. Pay attention to safe use to avoid scalding.
Turn off and lock the tactical penlight, or remove the battery, to prevent accidental activation when the penlight is placed in a closed and flammable environment such as pockets and backpacks.
The LED of this tactical penlight is not replaceable, so the whole penlight should be replaced when the LED reaches the end of its life.

Operating Instructions

On/Off: Press and hold the switch for 0.5 seconds to turn the penlight on or off.

Output Selection: With the penlight switched on, single click the switch to cycle through Low→Med→High.

Lock: With the tactical penlight unlocked and switched off, double click the switch within 0.5 seconds to lock the penlight; the penlight will blink twice on Low to indicate locked status.

Unlock: With the tactical penlight locked, double click the switch within 0.5 seconds; the penlight will unlock and activate on Low. In locked status, clicking or pressing the switch will trigger two one-second blinks on Low to indicate locked status.

Charging

First loosen the penlight body to reveal the USB Type-C charging port, then plug the USB-A end of the charging cable into an electrical outlet and connect the USB Type-C end to the penlight.
The indicator will display red while charging and will turn green when fully charged.
Once charging is completed, be sure to tighten the penlight head to maintain its dustproof and waterproof ability.

Note: Charge the penlight in a timely manner when the battery power gets too low, to ensure normal battery life. Normal charging time is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes from fully depleted to fully charged. Recharge a stored penlight every four months to maintain optimum battery performance.

Battery Level Indication

Each time the tactical penlight is turned on, the indicator will show the battery level for 3 seconds.

Green light on: saturated, 100% – 85%
Green light flashes: sufficient, 85% – 50%
Red light on: poor, 50% – 25%
Red light flashes: critical, 25% – 1%

Intelligent Overheat Protection

The penlight will accumulate a lot of heat when used on High mode for extended periods. When the penlight reaches a temperature of 60°C or above, it will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 60°C, the penlight will allow the user to reselect High mode.

Low-Voltage Warning

When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the penlight is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Low mode is reached. When this happens in Low mode, the battery level indicator constantly blinks red to remind the user to recharge the battery in a timely manner.

Usage and Maintenance

Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the penlight and will void the warranty.
Lock the penlight to prevent accidental activation during storage or transportation.
Long-term use can result in O-ring wear. To maintain a proper water seal, replace the O-ring with an approved spare.
Close the pen promptly when not in use to avoid ink leakage/pollution.
