Note: The stated data is measured in accordance with the international flashlight testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL1, using 1 x 18650 Li-ion battery (3,500mAh) under laboratory conditions. The data may vary in real world use due to different battery usage or environmental conditions.

• The runtime for TURBO mode is tested without temperature regulation.
• TURBO Availability: The TURBO level is only accessible when using a 18650 rechargeable Li-ion battery with an output over 8A or an IMR 18650 high-drain rechargeable Li-ion battery. It is inaccessible when using CR123/RCR123 batteries.

Battery Installation / Removal

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.

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. CAUTION! Possible dangerous radiation! Don’t look into the light! May be dangerous for your eyes.
3. When the power level is low, please stop using the product and replace or recharge the battery to prevent damage to the battery.
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.
5. 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 CG7 has an easy switching mechanism between the green and white beams. Push the head outwards and rotate the head clockwise or counterclockwise as illustrated to switch between the green 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 CG7 has mode memory. When reactivated, the flashlight will automatically access the previous memorized level or mode.

Operating Instructions of the Green Beam

The following instructions are only applicable when the green beam is selected.

On / Off
On: When the green beam is off, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to access the memorized level of the green beam. Off: When the green beam is on, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to turn it off.

Output Levels
When the green beam is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through the following green output levels: LOW – MID – HIGH.

Momentary Access to HIGH
When the green beam is on, press and hold the Mode Button to access the HIGH level of the green beam. Release to return to the previous memorized green output level.

Operating Instructions of the White Beam

The following instructions are only applicable when the white beam is selected.

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 CG7 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:

1. Ensure the light is turned off.
2. Loosen the tail cap.
3. Keep holding the Mode Button on the tail cap while simultaneously tightening the tail cap.
4. 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.

Brightness Levels
When the white beam is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through the following brightness levels of the white beam: ULTRA LOW – LOW – MID – HIGH – TURBO.

STROBE READYTM
When the white beam is off in either user mode, press and hold the Mode Button to momentarily access STROBE Mode. Release to turn it off.

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:

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 CG7 according to the working condition 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.
