Operating and Maintenance Instructions
LED Charging Indicators
The LED on the positive end of the battery housing lights up when the cable is correctly installed.
- Charging – Red LED is illuminated.
- Fully Charged – Green LED is illuminated.
Charge time is approximately 4.5 hours.
IMPORTANT: Maximum charging temperature range is 20°F to 115°F with optimal temperature range between 50°F and 86°F. A safety circuit prevents charging outside the maximum range and the red charge LED will pulse rapidly. When temperature is within an acceptable range charging will resume.
Battery Installation
- See Battery Installation Diagram
Alloy-X uses one 10900 Lithium Rechargeable Battery, as supplied by Princeton Tec. It is also compatible with 2 AAA Alkaline batteries.
When not using Alloy-X, separate the head and tail by turning counterclockwise approximately one turn. This will prevent accidental activation. Remove batteries when storing Alloy-X.
Observe proper battery polarity when installing the batteries. Improper installation of the batteries will damage light and void warranty.
WARNING ****
- Never mix fresh and used batteries.
- Never mix different battery brands or chemistry types.
- Always remove drained batteries immediately.
- Remove batteries during long periods of storage.
Switch Operation
- See Figure 2
ON/OFF
With the light off, a full press of the tail switch will produce an audible “click” and the light will turn on. The default is MEDIUM output. Another full press will turn the light off.
Brightness Adjustment
From ON , a half press of the tail switch will cycle through the three output modes. Default is to turn on in MEDIUM. The next half press will produce LOW which is then followed by HIGH and then a return to MEDIUM. The cycle will repeat.
From OFF, a full press will turn the light on the next mode in the cycle. For example, if the light is on in MEDIUM and then turned off, the next full press from OFF will turn the light on in LOW. If the light is turned off, the next click will result in HIGH. The cycle will repeat.
Note: If the light is left off more than one minute it will reset to the default which is turning on in MEDIUM.
