WEAPON SAFETY
FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFETY AND OPERATING MEASURES WHEN HANDLING A FIREARM OR THE NIGHTSTICK TCM WHEN MOUNTED ON A FIREARM IS DANGEROUS AND CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, OR DEATH.
- The use of a fi rearm under any circumstance is inherently dangerous. SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH may result without proper training in the safe handling of fi rearms. Proper training should be obtained from an accredited fi rearms safety program conducted by a qualifi ed instructor.
- Read, understand and follow all of the safety instructions that come with your fi rearm before attaching your new TCM.
- Always assume every fi rearm is loaded and treat that fi rearm as such.
- Never point a fi rearm at anything that you are not willing to destroy.
- Never service your fi rearm or your TCM when mounted on a fi rearm without first activating the weapon’s safety (if applicable), removing the magazine, opening the action, and physically and visually inspecting to make sure that no ammunition is installed in the fi rearm.
WEAPON MOUNTED LIGHT SAFETY
- Nightstick recommends that the TCM should only be activated with the non-trigger hand (support hand) while employing a two-hand grip on the handgun and with the trigger fi nger fully outside the trigger guard when applicable.
- Thoroughly practice (employing safe training conditions) with the TCM and an unloaded handgun before using the weapon.

BEFORE ATTACHING, INSPECTING OR SERVICING THE TCM
WARNING: IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT SAFETY MEASURES BE EMPLOYED AT ALL TIMES WHILE HANDLING A FIREARM.
- Engage the safety of the fi to rearm (if applicable).
- Remove the magazine from the fi rearm (if applicable).
- Open the action and visually and physically inspect the chamber to be sure it is empty.
- Keep the barrel pointed in a safe direction at all times and never place your hand in front of the muzzle.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
- NOT FOR USE ABOVE HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS
- DO NOT use in explosive atmospheres, near flammable liquids, or where explosion-proof lamps are required.
- DO NOT use in the proximity of vehicles or equipment when there is a risk of fl flammable liquids coming into contact with the fl ashlight.
- DO NOT expose the batteries to water or saltwater, or allow the batteries to get wet.
- DO NOT store the batteries with metallic objects that may cause a short circuit.
- Immediately discontinue the use of the batteries if they emit an unusual smell, feel hot, change color, change shape or appear abnormal in any way.
- Keep out of the reach of children.
INSTALL THE BATTERY
SAFETY WARNING: ALWAYS ENSURE THE HANDGUN IS SAFE AND UNLOADED BEFORE
CHANGING THE
BATTERY.
- Unscrew and remove the bezel.
- Insert the included CR123A battery with the positive(+) end first.
- Replace the bezel and turn until fully seated. You will feel resistance as you tighten past the lockout detents. Continue turning until the dot on the bezel aligns with the ON position.
SAFE MODE: The light will not operate while in safe mode.
To activate the battery, align the mark on the bezel with the ON position. To
engage safe mode and prevent the light from unintended activation, turn the
bezel until the mark aligns with the OFF position.
INSTALL THE LIGHT ONTO YOUR FIREARM
The fi rearm must have a tactical rail and at least one cross rail slot. The
TCM is not designed to be used on a fi rearm that does not have a cross rail
slot.
NOTE: The TCM comes pre-confi guard with the C1 modular insert. If the fi
t is not correct for your specifi c handgun model, switch to the C2, C3, C4
or C5 insert that works best for your fi rearm. Correct key installation
is verifi ed by the light positioned close to the trigger guard with
only a slight visible gap. Minimal gaps ensure proper fist with most
holsters.
- Push inward on the head of the rail clamp tension thumbscrew to fully open the adjustable portion of the rail clamp.
- Align the insert tab with the appropriate slot on the tactical rail of your handgun. Rotate the rail clamp of the TCM onto your handgun’s rail so that the insert is fully seated in the slot.
- While making sure that the insert remains fully seated in the slot, tighten the rail clamp tension thumbscrew by hand.
- Use a coin to fully tighten the tension thumbscrew.
IMPORTANT: Periodically check to ensure that the Allen screws and rail clamp tension thumbscrew remain tight.
