Operating Instructions
Battery Installation
Insert the battery(s) as illustrated and screw to tighten the tail cap. After battery insertion, the power indicator will flash to indicate the battery voltage. Refer to the "Power Indication" section for details.
Warnings:
- Ensure batteries are inserted with the positive end towards the head. The product will not work if incorrectly inserted.
- ⚠️ Possible dangerous radiation! Do not look directly into the light. May be dangerous for your eyes.
- When battery power is low, stop using the product and replace or recharge the battery to prevent damage.
- When storing the product in a backpack or leaving it unused for prolonged periods, remove all batteries to prevent accidental activation or battery leakage.
- DO NOT submerge the light into any liquid when it is hot. This may cause irreparable damage due to pressure differences.
Charging Function
The P10i is equipped with an intelligent charging system. Insert the battery and tighten the tail cap. Use the USB-C cable to connect an external power supply (e.g., a USB adapter or other USB charging devices) to the charging port to begin the charging process.
- During charging, the power indicator will flash slowly.
- When the battery is fully charged, the P10i will cease charging, and the power indicator will become steadily lit.
- Charging time for a 21700 Li-ion battery (4,000mAh) is approx. 3 hours 45 minutes (using a 5V/2A adapter).
Tactical Momentary Illumination
Half press and hold the [Power Button] to turn on the light momentarily. Release to turn it off.
On / Off
- On: When the light is off, press the [Power Button] until a click is heard to turn it on and access the HIGH Level.
- Off: When the light is on, press the [Power Button] until a click is heard to turn it off.
Brightness Levels
When the light is on, short press the [Mode Button] (STROBE READY™) to cycle through the following brightness levels: HIGH → MID → LOW.
STROBE READY™
- When the light is off, press and hold the [Mode Button] (STROBE READY™) to access STROBE Mode. Release to turn it off.
- When the light is on, long press the [Mode Button] (STROBE READY™) to access STROBE Mode. Short press the [Mode Button] (STROBE READY™) to return to the previous status, or click the [Power Button] to turn off the light.
Power Indication
When the battery is inserted, or the flashlight is disconnected from the power source during charging, the [Power Indicator Light] will flash to show the battery voltage (±0.1V). For example, when the battery voltage is at 4.2V, the indicator will flash 4 times, followed by a 1.5-second pause and 2 more flashes.
Different voltages represent the corresponding remaining battery power levels:
- 1 x 21700 battery: Low power (3.5V) → 3.7V → Full power (3.9V) → 4.2V
- 2 x CR123 batteries: Low power (4.8V) → 5.6V → Full power (6.0V) → 6.4V
When the light is on, the [Power Indicator Light] will indicate the remaining battery power:
- Steadily lit: Power is above 50%.
- Flashing slowly: Power is below 50%.
- Flashing quickly: Power is below 10%.
Note:
- When using two CR123/RCR123 in series, the indicator shows the average voltage between the two batteries.
- Batteries should be replaced or recharged when the output appears dim or the flashlight becomes unresponsive due to low power.
ATR (Advanced Temperature Regulation)
The integrated ATR technology regulates the output of the P10i according to the working condition and ambient environment to maintain optimal performance.
Maintenance
Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a thin coating of silicone-based lubricant.
