Operating Instructions

Battery Installation
Insert the battery(s) as illustrated and screw to tighten the tail cap. Warnings:

1. 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.
2. Please use the battery magazine when using 1 x 18650 / 2 x CR123 batteries to avoid battery rattling and to ensure stable contact.
3. CAUTION! Possible dangerous radiation! Don’t look into the light! Maybe dangerous for your eyes.
4. 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.

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.

User Mode Selection
The NEW P12 provides 2 user modes for different users and situations.

• Daily Mode (Default Setting): In this user mode, there are 4 brightness levels and 3 special modes (STROBE, BEACON and SOS) available. The NEW P12 will memorize and re-access any of the 4 brightness levels or STROBE Mode (BEACON and SOS excluded) when reactivated unless it has been switched to the other user mode.
• Tactical Mode: In this user mode, there are only 4 brightness levels and STROBE Mode available. The NEW P12 will only memorize and re-access HIGH Level or STROBE Mode when reactivated unless it has been switched to the other user mode.

To select the desired user mode:

1. When the light is off, click the Tail Switch while holding the Mode Button.
2. Keep holding the Mode Button for approx. 5 seconds until the blue power indicator beneath the Mode Button flashes quickly.
3. The indicator will indicate a user-mode selected by flashing once for Daily Mode and flashing twice for Tactical Mode.
4. The flashlight will be automatically turned on after this process.

Brightness Levels

• Daily Mode: When the light is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through the following brightness levels: ULTRA LOW – LOW – MID – HIGH.
• Tactical Mode: When the light is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through the following brightness levels: HIGH – MID – LOW – ULTRALOW.

Special Modes (STROBE / BEACON / SOS)

• When the light is on, long-press the Mode Button to access the STROBE Mode.
• When the STROBE Mode is on in Daily Mode, long-press the Mode Button each time to cycle through the following special modes: BEACON – SOS – STROBE.
• When one of the special modes is on, short press the Mode Button to exit special modes and access the previous memorized brightness level; or click the Tail Switch to exit special modes and turn off the light.

Power Indication
When the light is off, click the Tail Switch while holding the Mode Button and then quickly release both buttons to access Power Indication. The blue power indicator beneath the Mode Button will flash to show the battery voltage (±0.1V). The flashlight will be automatically turned on after this process. 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 :

Note: When using two CR123/RCR123 in series, the indicator will show the average voltage between the two batteries.
ATR (Advanced Temperature Regulation)
The integrated ATR technology regulates the output of the NEW P12 according to the working conditions and ambient environment to maintain optimal performance.

Changing Batteries
The batteries should be replaced when the output appears to be dim or the flashlight becomes unresponsive due to low power.

Maintenance
Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a thin coating of silicone-based lubricant.
