A Picatinny (mil-std-1913) adapter is included. For Picatinny rails, replace the "GL" adapter with the included 1913 adapter using the provided screws and wrench.
Laser Calibration
Use the included hex wrench to rotate the adjustment screw hole (located underneath or on the side of the light) to calibrate the vertical or horizontal angle of the laser beam for accurate aiming.
Note: A backup set of NYLOK adjustable screws is included.

Important Safety Information
DANGER
- Do NOT throw the light directly into human eyes. This may cause temporary blindness or permanent eye damage.
- Do NOT cover the light head when the flashlight is on, or place the flashlight head on the ground. The heat generated may damage the flashlight or surrounding materials.
- Do NOT use rechargeable lithium batteries without a protection circuit, as this may lead to battery damage or hazardous situations.
- Do NOT leave the light in any type of fabric bag or fusible plastic container under high temperatures.
WARNING
- Keep out of reach of children.
- The surface of the light may reach 50°C (122°F) or higher after being on for 10 minutes or more. Avoid touching the light to prevent burns.
- Laser light is bright and blinding – DO NOT shine it at aircraft or vehicles at any distance.
- If the light is stored or transported for a long time, turn the rotating switch to the "Laser only" position.
NOTICE
- The light setting switch is sensitive to magnets and may malfunction if they are nearby.
- Pay attention to battery polarities during installation. Polarity indicators are present inside the battery compartment.
- The output will stay at 1350 lumens for 1 minute, then step down to 500 lumens over 30 seconds.
- When RCR123A batteries with a protection circuit are used, the light may experience sudden power failure due to the battery's protection mechanism (overcurrent or undervoltage protection).
- While battery power is very low, the maximum brightness will be limited to 300 lumens.
- When batteries are running low, the light beam may blink; this is normal.
