Setup
1. Battery Installation
The PowerTac Valor uses two AA alkaline batteries (not included). Ensure correct polarity during installation to prevent damage.
- Unscrew the tail cap of the flashlight by turning it counter-clockwise.
- Insert two AA batteries with the positive (+) end facing towards the flashlight head.
- Screw the tail cap back on clockwise until it is securely tightened. This ensures proper electrical contact and maintains the waterproof seal.
Caution: Incorrect battery installation can damage the device. Always observe polarity markings. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.
2. Attaching the Pocket Clip
The flashlight comes with a deep-carry bidirectional pocket clip, which may be pre-installed or included separately.
- If not pre-installed, slide the clip onto the flashlight body into the designated groove until it clicks securely into place.
- The bidirectional design allows for flexible attachment to pockets, belts, or gear.

Operating Instructions

- Momentary On: Lightly press and hold the tail switch for temporary illumination. Release to turn off.

2. Changing Brightness Modes (Side Switch)
With the flashlight on, press the side switch to cycle through the available brightness modes (e.g., Low, Medium, High, Turbo). The flashlight features a memory function that will recall the last-used brightness level when turned on again.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- O-Rings: Inspect the O-rings (seals) for wear and tear. Lubricate them with silicone grease if necessary to maintain the waterproof rating. Replace damaged O-rings promptly.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the light output becomes dim or inconsistent. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new, identical batteries.
- Storage: If storing the flashlight for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage to the device.
Warning: Do not disassemble the flashlight head, as this may damage the LED and void the warranty.
