**Battery Installation
**
As illustrated, after unscrewing the battery cap, insert/remove the battery(s) and screw to tighten the battery cap. Note : After the battery insertion, the power indicator beside the tail switches will flash to indicate the battery voltage. Please refer to the “Power Indication” section of this manual for more details.
- 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.
Beam Switching
The CR7 has an easy switching mechanism between the red and white beams. Push
the head outwards and rotate the head clockwise or counterclockwise as
illustrated to switch between the red and white beams.
Tactical Momentary Illumination
Half-press and hold the Power Button to turn on the light momentarily. Release
to turn it off. Note: The CR7 has mode memory. When reactivated, the
flashlight will automatically access the previous memorized level or mode.
Operating Instructions of the Red Beam
On / Off
- On : When the red beam is off, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to access the memorized level of the red beam.
- Off : When the red beam is on, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to turn it off.
Output Levels
When the red beam is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through the
following red output levels: LOW – MID – HIGH. Momentary Access to HIGH When
the red beam is on, press and hold the Mode Button to access the HIGH level of
the red beam. Release to return to the previous memorized red output level.
Operating Instructions of the White Beam
On / Off
- On : When the white beam is off, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to access the memorized level of the white beam.
- Off : When the white beam is on, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to turn it off.
User Mode Selection of the White Beam
The CR7 provides 2 user modes of the white beam for different users and
situations. Daily Mode: When the light is on, press and hold the Mode Button
to momentarily access the TURBO level of the white beam. Release to return to
the previous memorized brightness level of the white beam. (Default Setting)
Tactical Mode: When the light is on, long-press the Mode Button to directly
access STROBE Mode. Short press the Mode Button again to return to the
previous memorized brightness level of the white beam. To select the desired
user mode:
- Ensure the light is turned off.
- Loosen the tail cap.
- Keep holding the Mode Button on the tail cap while simultaneously tightening the tail cap.
- Once the tail cap has been tightened, the LEDs will indicate a user mode selected by flashing once for Daily Mode and flashing twice for Tactical Mode.
**Power Indication
**
When the battery is inserted, 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:
Maintenance
Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a thin coating of a silicon-based lubricant.
