• Off: When the light is on, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to turn it off.

(The TM9K TAC has mode memory. When reactivated, the flashlight will automatically access the previous memorized brightness level or STROBE Mode.)

Brightness Levels: When the light is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through "ULTRALOW → LOW → MID → HIGH".

TurboReady™: When the light is on/off, press and hold the Mode Button to directly access TURBO of 9,800 lumens. Release to return to the previous status.

STROBE Mode: When the light is on/off, double press the Mode Button to access the STROBE Mode. When the STROBE Mode is on, either short press the Mode Button or click the Power Button to exit the STROBE Mode.

Lockout / Unlock:

Power Indication

When the light is on, click the Power Button while holding the Mode Button and release both buttons to access Lockout Mode. The flashlight will flash once before turning off to indicate this process. After that, the power indicator will flash to show the battery voltage (±0.1V). For example, when the battery voltage is at 4.2V, the power 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:

When the light is on, the power indicator will indicate the remaining battery power:

• 1. Being steadily turned on indicates that the power is above 50%.
• 2. Flashing slowly indicates that the power is below 50%.
• 3. Flashing quickly indicates that the power is below 10%.

Cautions

• DO NOT cover the head of the flashlight or put it close to other objects when turned on to avoid accidents.
• DO NOT submerge the flashlight into any liquid when it is hot. Doing so may cause irreparable damage to the light due to the difference of air pressure inside and outside of the tube.
• When the flashlight is kept in the backpack or the holster, please activate the Lockout Mode.
• CAUTION! Possible dangerous radiation! Don't look into the light! Maybe dangerous for your eyes. ❗
• Please recharge the product with the original charging cable and a 5V/2A adapter or a QC adapter.
• Please recharge the product before the first use.
• Please recharge the product every 6 months when left unused for a long time.
