RCR123 (Rechargeable) are not to be used due to higher nominal voltage.
To install battery, grip the light in either hand with the battery door facing

free hand to open the battery door. With a battery installed, spring tension
will make this operation possible with one hand. To close the battery door,
push it closed and then slide the latch toward you to lock. Princeton Tec
cares about the environment and recommends recycling batteries. For more
information about battery recycling, see
www.batteryrecycling.com.
WARNING !
- Always remove drained battery immediately. Remove battery during long periods of storage.
Switch Operation
Charge Pro has a recessed power button to prevent negligent discharge. The
large button is textured, making it easy to locate even while wearing gloves.
Charge Pro has four light sources to choose from: three Ultrabright LEDs (one
each red, blue or green and IR) and one white Maxbright LED. All LEDs have one
mode or intensity level each.
Charge Pro will turn on in Ultrabright red mode with one button press. By
pressing and releasing the button again within 1.5 seconds of the previous
button press, Ultrabright green or blue mode (depending on your unit) will be
selected. Pressing the button once more will turn the light off.
With red or green Ultrabright active, holding the power button down for two
seconds will switch to Maxbright mode.
If Charge Pro four-mode is `off, holding the power button down for two seconds
will activate IR mode.
If the light has been on for more than two seconds in any mode, pressing the
button will turn the light off.
Mounting System
Charge Pro is compatible with the following mounting systems: Helmet Rail, Above Rail, Helmet Mount, MOLLE/PALS and Picatinny Rail. See figures 1,2,3,4 & 5 for mounting instructions.

Troubleshooting
If the Charge fails to light:
- Check battery for proper installation.
- Replace battery if proper installation is confirmed.
- Check the light for water contamination on the circuit board by removing the five screws located on the back of the light body.
Remove batteries if there is water in the electronics, and cease use until the light has completely dried out. If moisture accumulates inside the lens, remove the bezel with a small screwdriver and open the lens to allow moisture to evaporate.
Battery installation
1. ARC Rail Installation
Charge Pro is designed to attach directly to the ARC Rail ACH – Helmet Rail
System. Charge can mount to either left or right helmet rail. Using a flathead
screwdriver, back the set screw out approximately 5 turns, then slide Charge
dovetail into open end of helmet rail. The spring-loaded ball bearing will
engage detents. When the light is situated to your preference, hand tighten
set screw to secure Charge Pro. 2. MOLLE Mount
Using a flathead screwdriver, back the set screw out approximately 5 turns.
Slide MOLLE mount onto any strap position, then slide Charge dovetail into
open end of MOLLE mount. The spring-loaded ball bearing will engage detents.
When the light is in place, tighten set screw to secure Charge Pro. 3. MICH
Mount Installation
RIGHT SIDE mounting is recommended to keep low profile. While it is possible
to mount Charge/Helmet Mount on left side, this increases risk of snagging.
Remove screws from the plastic mounting plate and choose the appropriate metal
U-clip. Slide the U-clip onto the bot tom edge of the helmet. If excessive
play is present, bend the metal clip with pliers until there is about 1mm of
play between the clip and helmet. Attach the plastic mounting plate on the
outside of the hel met. Holding the metal mount tight against the bottom of
helmet edge, tighten both screws until secure. Using a flathead screwdriver,
back the set screw out approximately 5 turns, then slide Charge dovetail into
open end of helmet rail. The spring-loaded ball bearing will engage detents.
When the light is situated to your preference, tighten set screw to secure
Charge Pro. 
4. (ABR) Above Rail Mount
A. If using MPLS ABR on a ballistic helmet, skip to step two. For use with
nonballistic helmets, begin by snapping off unneeded portion of ABR mount by
hand or with a pair of pliers, and discarding the smaller ‘hook’ portion
Loosen or remove front rail screw, and slide ABR into desired position beneath
rail. Retighten front rail screw.
Select Charge Pro MPLS mount and secure with
included machine screws, gently tightening with a Phillips
screwdriver.
Install Charge MPLS and tighten set screw onto
mount. 5. Picatinny Rail Mount
To mount Charge on a Picatinny Rail, first install the main adapter piece and
then insert the retaining clamp and screw. Next, hand-tighten the screw with a
flat blade screwdriver. Finally, slide the Charge into the adapter until it
snaps into place. If desired, tighten the locking screw on the
Charge.
