Specifications

Setup

The PL-Mini 2 Valkyrie is designed for quick and tool-free installation. It comes with both GL and 1913 Picatinny rail inserts to ensure compatibility with a wide range of firearms.

Attaching to a Firearm

1. Select Rail Insert: The GL insert is pre-installed. If your firearm uses a 1913 Picatinny rail, replace the GL insert with the included 1913 insert.
2. Open Clamp: Lift the quick-release lever on the side of the weaponlight to open the rail clamp.
3. Position Light: Slide the weaponlight onto the accessory rail of your firearm. The adjustable sliding rail allows you to position the light forward or backward to achieve optimal placement relative to the trigger guard.
4. Secure Clamp: Once positioned, push the quick-release lever down firmly until it locks into place. This secures the light to the rail without the need for additional tools.

Charging

The PL-Mini 2 features a convenient magnetic charging system.

• Connect Charger: Attach the magnetic USB charging cable to the charging port located on the bottom of the weaponlight. The magnetic connection ensures proper alignment.
• Charging Indicator: A small indicator light on the weaponlight will turn red when the battery is below 10%, signaling that charging is required. The light will change color (typically green) when fully charged.
• Charging Flexibility: The magnetic charging system allows the light to be charged while still mounted on the firearm, providing added convenience.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your OLIGHT PL-Mini 2 Valkyrie, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the lens and body of the weaponlight with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or optics.
• Charging Port: Keep the magnetic charging port clean and free of debris to ensure a reliable connection.
• Storage: Store the weaponlight in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for extended periods, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to prolong battery life.

• Light Not Turning On:

  • Ensure switches are clean and free of obstruction.
• Charging Issues:
  • Verify the magnetic charging cable is securely attached and the charging port is clean.
  • Try a different USB power source.
• Loose Mounting:
  • Ensure the quick-release lever is fully engaged and locked.
