Safety Information
⚠️ DANGER
- DO NOT throw the light directly into human eyes. This may cause temporary blindness or permanent damage to the eyes.
- DO NOT cover the light head when the light is on, or place the light head on the ground. The radiation energy of the light may cause damage to the light itself, or even result in burning to other materials.
- DO NOT leave the light in any type of fabric bag or fusible plastic container under high temperature.
⚠️ WARNING
- Keep out of reach of children.
- After being on for a long time, the surface of the light may reach 50°C or higher. In this case, DO NOT touch the light to prevent burns.
? NOTICE
- Laser light is bright and blinding - DO NOT shine at aircraft or vehicles at any distance.
- If the light is stored for a long time or transported, turn the rotating switch to the Laser only position.
- When the light is on strobe mode and you change the light setting, it will quit strobe mode.
- Strobe mode is not available for the laser itself and only works when the mode selector is positioned to LED light only, and LIGHT&LASER combined.
- The light setting switch is sensitive to magnets and may malfunction when they are close.
- Pay attention to the battery polarities during installation. Signs for battery polarity are on the compartment cover.
- NOT compatible with RCR123 rechargeable lithium battery.
- The output will stay on 1120 lumens for 1 minute and step down to 500 lumens in 30 seconds.
- While battery power is too low, the maximum brightness will reach at 300 lumens.
- When batteries are running low, the light beam may blink, which is completely normal.

Compatibility Check
The BALDR RL can be used on most Glock or Picatinny (mil-std-1913) type rails. The Glock adapter labeled "GL" is already installed (compatible with most Glock handguns) and a Picatinny (mil-std-1913) adapter is included in the packaging. For Picatinny (mil-std-1913) rails, the user needs to replace the "GL" adapter with the included 1913 adapter using the screws and wrench provided in the package.
Laser Calibration
Use the included hex wrench to rotate the adjustment screw hole either underneath or on the side of the light to calibrate the vertical or horizontal angle of the laser beam, and finally sight in the laser for accurate use.
NOTE: A backup set of NYLOK adjustable screws is included.
