JETBeam Vastlite Bow LEP Extension Tube User Manual

1. Introduction

The JETBeam Vastlite Bow LEP Extension Tube is an accessory designed to enhance the runtime of your compatible Vastlite Bow LEP flashlight. By adding this extension tube, you can accommodate additional batteries, thereby increasing the operational duration of your flashlight. This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, use, and maintenance of your extension tube.

2. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to correctly install the extension tube onto your Vastlite Bow LEP flashlight:

1. Prepare the Flashlight: Ensure your Vastlite Bow LEP flashlight is turned off. Identify the tail cap (the end with the power button) and the main body of the flashlight.
2. Remove Tail Cap: Unscrew the tail cap from the flashlight body by turning it counter-clockwise.
3. Insert Battery (if applicable): If you are adding a new battery, insert the compatible 18650 Lithium Ion battery into the flashlight body with the positive (+) end facing towards the flashlight head. (Note: Batteries are not included with the extension tube).
4. Attach Extension Tube: Screw the extension tube onto the main body of the flashlight, turning it clockwise until it is securely fastened.
5. Reattach Tail Cap: Screw the tail cap onto the end of the extension tube, turning it clockwise until it is tight. Ensure all connections are firm to maintain proper electrical contact and water resistance.

3. Operating Instructions

The extension tube itself does not alter the operational modes of your Vastlite Bow LEP flashlight. It simply provides additional space for batteries to extend the flashlight's runtime. Refer to your flashlight's original manual for detailed operating instructions. General operation typically includes:

• On/Off: Press the metal tail button to turn the flashlight on or off.
• Mode Switching (Low-High): Slowly half-press the tail switch to cycle through different output levels.
• Strobe: Quickly double-press the tail switch to activate the strobe mode.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your extension tube:

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the extension tube with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the titanium finish.
• Thread Care: Periodically clean the threads of the extension tube and apply a thin layer of silicone grease. This helps maintain smooth operation, prevents wear, and ensures the water-resistant seal.
• O-Ring Inspection: Regularly inspect the O-rings for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace damaged O-rings to maintain the IPX8 water resistance rating.
• Storage: Store the extension tube in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for extended periods, it is recommended to remove batteries from the flashlight.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your extension tube, consider the following:

Issue: Flashlight does not turn on or has intermittent power after installing the extension tube.

Solution:

1. Ensure the battery (or batteries) are correctly inserted with the positive (+) end facing towards the head of the flashlight.
2. Check that the battery is fully charged.
3. Verify that the extension tube and tail cap are securely tightened. Loose connections can interrupt the electrical circuit.
4. Clean the contact points on the battery, flashlight body, and tail cap with a clean cloth to remove any dirt or debris.

Issue: Reduced runtime after installing the extension tube.

Solution:

1. Ensure you are using compatible 18650 Lithium Ion batteries that are in good condition.
2. Check the condition of the battery. Old or damaged batteries may have reduced capacity, even if fully charged.
3. Verify that the extension tube is properly installed and not causing any undue resistance or drainage.
