Setup

Initial Use and Battery Preparation

Both the Catapult Pro and T1 come with pre-installed batteries. Before first use, please ensure the battery is properly seated and any insulating film is removed if present. For the Catapult Pro, ensure the tail cap is tightened securely to establish electrical contact.

Charging the Catapult Pro

The Catapult Pro features a built-in USB-C charging port. To charge:

  1. Locate the USB-C port cover on the flashlight body.
  2. Gently lift the rubber cover to expose the port.
  3. Connect the provided USB-C charging cable to the flashlight and plug the other end into a USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port).
  4. The indicator light on the switch will show charging status:
    • Red: Charging in progress.
    • Blue: Charging complete.
  5. Once charging is complete, securely close the USB-C port cover to maintain water resistance.

Note: The T1 typically uses a standard 16340 battery and may require an external charger, or it might have a built-in micro-USB port depending on the specific revision. Please refer to the T1's individual manual if included, or check the product specifications for charging details.
