Introduction
The NITECORE RSW1 Remote Pressure Switch is designed to replace the standard tail cap on compatible NITECORE tactical flashlights. This accessory allows for remote activation and mode control, enhancing usability, especially when the flashlight is weapon-mounted. The coiled cable provides flexibility in placement, ensuring convenient access to the pressure pad.
Setup and Installation
- Remove the Original Tail Cap: Unscrew the existing tail cap from your compatible NITECORE flashlight.
- Attach the RSW1: Screw the tail cap component of the RSW1 Remote Pressure Switch onto the flashlight body until it is securely tightened.
- Position the Pressure Pad: Place the pressure pad (Momentary-on Switch) in your preferred location, typically where your stabilizing hand can easily access it. The coiled cable extends up to 15 inches for versatile mounting options.

Operating Instructions
- Momentary Activation: Press and hold any of the three buttons on the pressure pad (Momentary-on Switch) to activate the flashlight momentarily. Release the button to turn the flashlight off.
- Constant On/Off: The tail cap component of the RSW1 features a push button (Push Button On/off Switch). Press this button to turn the flashlight on for constant illumination. Press it again to turn the flashlight off.
- Mode Changing: The RSW1 is designed to work with flashlights that have a mode-changing function. The specific method for changing modes (e.g., brightness levels, strobe) will depend on the flashlight model. Typically, this is done via a dedicated mode button on the flashlight itself, or by partially pressing the tail switch. Refer to your flashlight's manual for detailed mode-changing instructions.
