WARNINGS

Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight or use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather.
Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.

Immediately discontinue use of the battery if the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color, changes shape, or appears abnormal in any way.

INITIAL USE

Fully charge the TAC before the first use, or if the battery is new or has been unused for several months. The maximum charge time required is approximately 4 hours.

DAILY USE

Use only the supplied Nightstick charger, battery, and AC or DC adapter. For best performance, charge the TAC when the flashlight beam starts to dim.
Connect the AC power adapter to the charger. The LED indicator will not be illuminated at this point.
With the flashlight facing forward, slide the TAC into the charger until the contacts snap into place.
The LED indicator changes to constant red indicating the TAC is properly inserted into the charger and is in fact charging. The LED indicator remains red until the battery is fully charged. At full charge, the LED indicator turns green.
The total time to full charge the TAC varies depending on the remaining charge in the battery pack.
To confirm a full charge, keep the TAC in the charger and turn it on. The LED indicator will change to red. Turn off the TAC. If the TAC is fully charged, the LED indicator will turn green. If not, it remains red until the charge is completed and the LED indicator turns green. The TAC will now be fully charged.

OPERATION

The TAC has five light modes: momentary flashlight, full brightness flashlight, medium brightness flashlight, low brightness flashlight, and strobe. The TAC has a single tail switch providing access to all modes.
MOMENTARY FLASHLIGHT MODE
Lightly press the tail switch for momentary operation. Release the switch to turn the light off.
CONSTANT-ON
Press the tail switch until it clicks and then release for constant-on in high-brightness mode.
Press and release the tail switch again to turn the light off.
SELECT BRIGHTNESS LEVEL
Press and hold down the tail switch. The light will cycle from high to medium to low and then back up again at a rate of approximately one mode per second. The light will continue to cycle up and down through the various modes as long as the tail switch is held down. When the desired brightness level is reached, simply release the tail switch, and the light will remain in that brightness mode. Pressing and holding the tail switch again will cause the light to cycle from whatever mode it is currently in. Press and release the tail switch to turn the light off.
STROBE FUNCTION
To activate the strobe, rapidly double click the tail switch. The strobe can be activated from any mode including off. Press and release the body switch to turn the strobe off.
Strobe Warning
Exposure to strobing lights may cause dizziness, disorientation, and nausea. A very small percentage of people suffer from photosensitive epilepsy and may experience seizures or blackouts triggered by strobing lights. For more information from the EPILEPSY FOUNDATION about photosensitivity and seizures, please visit www.epilepsy.com. Anyone who has had symptoms linked to this condition should consult a doctor before using this product.

TAC from rechargeable Lithium-ion to nonrechargeable Lithium battery operation.
Load two CR-123 Lithium batteries with the positive terminals pointing in the direction of the arrow.
NOTE: The flashlight cannot be charged with the CR-123 CARRIER installed.
