Note: The stated data is measured in accordance with the international flashlight testing standards ANSI/PLATO FL1-2019, using 1 x 21700 Li-ion battery (5,000mAh) under laboratory conditions. The data may vary in real- world use due to different battery usage or environmental conditions. The runtime of TURBO is tested without temperature regulation. TURBO Availability: The TURBO level is only accessible when using a 21700 I Series battery with an output over 15A. It is inaccessible when using CR123/RCR123 batteries.

Operating Instructions
Battery Installation
Insert the battery(s) as illustrated and screw to tighten the tail cap.
Note: After the battery insertion, the head power indicator will flash to
indicate the battery voltage. Please refer to the “Power Indication” section
of this manual for more details.
Warnings:
- Ensure the battery(s) is/are inserted with the positive end towards the head. The product will not work if the battery(s) is/are incorrectly inserted.
- CAUTION! Possible dangerous radiation! Don’t look into the light! May be dangerous for your eyes.
- When the power level is low, please stop using the product and replace or recharge the battery to prevent damage to the battery
- When the product is kept in a backpack or left unused for a prolonged time, please remove all batteries to prevent accidental activation or battery leakage.
- DO NOT submerge the light 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.
Charging Function
The P30i is equipped with an intelligent charging system. As illustrated, after inserting the battery and tightening the tail cap, use the USB 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 the charging process, the tail power indicator will flash slowly to inform the user
- When the battery is fully charged, the P30i will cease the charging process and the tail power indicator will become steadily turned on to inform the user.
- When the charging status is abnormal (e.g. the battery is broken/inserted incorrectly), the P30i will cease the charging process and the tail power indicator will flash quickly to inform the user.
- The charging time for a 21700 U-ion battery (5,000mAh) is approx. 4 hours. (Charged via the 5V/2A adapter)
Tactical Momentary Illumination
Half-press and hold the Tail Switch to turn on the light momentarily. Release
to turn it off.
On/Off
On: When the light is off, press the Tail Switch until a click sound is heard
to turn it on. Off: When the light is on, press the Tail Switch until a click
sound is heard to turn it off.
Brightness Levels
When the light is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through the
following brightness levels: ULTRALOW — LOW —MID — HIGH — TURBO. (This access
has a memory function. When reactivated, the flashlight will automatically
access the previous memorized brightness level.)
Direct Access to TURBO
- When the light is off, press and hold the Mode Button to access TURBO momentarily. Release to turn it off.
- When the light is on, long press the Mode Button to access TURBO directly. Short press the Mode Button to return to the previous brightness level, or it will automatically return to the previous brightness level if there is no operation in 30 seconds.
Special Modes (BEACON / SOS)
- When the light is off, triple press the Mode Button to access the BEACON Mode
- When the BEACON Mode is on, long press the Mode Button each time to switch between SOS and BEACON
- When either special mode is on, short press the Mode Button to turn off the light.

light is on, short press Button A to turn it off.
Brightness Levels
When the light is on, short press Button B to cycle through the brightness
levels.
Direct Access to TURBO
When the light is on, long press Button B to access TURBO directly. Short
press Button B to return to the previous brightness level, or it will

in 30 seconds.
STROBE READY”‘
- When the light is off, press and hold Button A to access the STROBE Mode. Release to return it off.
- When the light is on, long press Button A to access the STROBE Mode. Short press Button B to return to the previous status, or short press Button A to turn off the light.
Power Indication
- When the battery is inserted, the head power indicator will flash to show the battery voltage (±0.1V).
- When it is disconnected from the power source during the charging process, the tail 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:
lx21700
2xCR123 batteries
- When the light is on, the head 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%.
Note: 1. When using two CR123/RCR123 in series, the indicator will show
the average voltage between the two batteries. 2.The batteries should be
replaced or recharged when the output appears to be dim or the flashlight
becomes unresponsive due to low power.
ATR (Advanced Temperature Regulation)
The integrated ATR technology regulates the output of the P30i according to
the working condition and ambient environment to maintain the optimal
performance.
Maintenance
Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a thin
coating of silicon-based lubricant.
