Battery Options

NITECORE proprietary 21700 Li-ion battery (NL2150DW 5,000mAh) which is designed for R40 V2 only.

  • The R40 V2 can only be powered by the NL2150DW. It is NOT compatible with conventional flat-topped or button-topped 21700 batteries.

Note: The stated data is measured in accordance with the international flashlight testing standards ANSI/PLATO FL 1-2019, using 1 x NITECORE proprietary 21700 Li-ion battery (5,000mAh) under laboratory conditions. The data may vary in real world use due to different battery usage or environmental conditions.

Operating Instructions

Battery Installation
Insert the NL2150DW battery available with reversible insertion as illustrated, and screw to tighten the tail cap.
Note: After the battery insertion, the power indicator beneath the side switches will flash to indicate the battery voltage. Please refer to the “Power Indication” section of this manual for more details.

Warnings:

  1. CAUTION! Possible dangerous radiation! Don’t look into the light! May be dangerous for your eyes.
  2. When the power level is low, please stop using the product and replace or recharge the battery to prevent damage to the battery.
  3. When the product is kept in a backpack or left unused for prolonged time, please remove all batteries to prevent accidental activation or battery leakage.

On / Off
On: When the light is off, short press the Power Button to turn it on.
Off: When the light is on, short press the Power Button to turn it off.

Brightness Levels
When the light is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through the following brightness levels: ULTRALOW – LOW – MID – HIGH – TURBO.
(This access has memory function. When reactivated, the flashlight will automatically access the previous memorized brightness level.)

Direct Access to TURBO
When the light is off, long press the Mode Button to directly access TURBO.

Direct Access to ULTRALOW
When the light is off, long press the Power Button to directly access ULTRALOW.

Special Modes (STROBE / BEACON / SOS)

  • When the light is on, long press the Mode Button to access the STROBE Mode. After the STROBE Mode is on, 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 return to the previous brightness level; or short press the Power Button to turn off the light.
  • When the light is off, double press the Mode Button to access the STROBE Mode. Short press either button to exit special modes and turn off the light.

Lockout / Unlock
Lockout: When the light is on/off, press and hold both buttons until the flashlight flashes once to access Lockout Mode. In this status, both buttons are unavailable to activate the flashlight.
Unlock: In Lockout Mode, press and hold both buttons to exit Lockout Mode and return to the previous brightness level.

Charging Function
The R40 V2 has multiple charging ways including the USB charging port, wall mount cradle and desktop cradle

  1. USB Charging: After inserting the battery and tightening the tail cap, use the USB cable to connect an external power supply (e.g. a USB adapter or other USB charging devices) to the charging port located on the tail to begin the charging process.
  2. Cradle Charging: Inductive coils concealed both in the cradle and the tail cap allow wireless power transfer through an electromagnetic field. Secure the R40 V2 onto the cradle and connect the cradle to a power outlet or a cigarette lighter port to begin the charging process.

Note:

  1. The included AC / car adapters are designed to work with power sources with an output current of 1A or more.
  2. The included car adapter is compatible with cigarette lighter ports with an output voltage of 12V or 24V.
  3. During the charging process, the power indicator will flash slowly. When the battery is fully charged, the power indicator will be steadily turned on.
  4. If no battery or a damaged battery is inserted in the flashlight during the charging process, the power indicator will be turned off.
  5. If an unstable contact occurs (e.g. the flashlight is detached from the cradle), the power indicator will flash to show the battery voltage and then become turned off.
  6. The charging time for a 21700 Li-ion battery (5,000mAh) is approx. 6 hours.
  7. Power Indication

Power Indication
After the battery insertion, or the Mode Button is pressed when the light is off, the power indicator beneath the side switches 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:

Location Indication
When the light is on, long press the Power Button to turn off the light and access Location Indication. With this function turned on, the indicator will flash once every 3 seconds to indicate its location. Reactivating the flashlight will turn off this function. The standby time is approx. 6 months with Location Indication turned on, and approx. 12 months with this function turned off.

ATR (Advanced Temperature Regulation)
The integrated ATR technology regulates the output of the R40 V2 according to the working condition and ambient environment to maintain the 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 silicon-based lubricant.
