Lock-out function. Unscrew the tailcap to 1/4 for protection from
accidental switching on. Multicolor indication will be turned o.
Safe high brightness modes. Turbo modes give maximum brightness
until the temperature of the flashlight and discharge current of the
battery exceed critical values.
Safe Soft-Start System allows increasing runtimes, getting lon-
ger battery life and protecting the battery from overdischarge or
overheating.
Active real-time temperature control. When the temperature
becomes close to +58 °C, the brightness decreases, which allows
avoiding flashlight and battery overheating, as well as LED degrada-
tion. Under good cooling conditions, the flashlight delivers light without
stepping down.
BATTERY LEVEL AND FLASHLIGHT TEMPERATURE
INDICATION
The flashlight has a multicolor temperature, battery level and state
indication (indication by the color LED in the button), as well as a low
battery level indication by light (indication by the main LED of the
flashlight). The flashlight indication in ON state includes a multicolor
battery level and temperature indication, and low battery level indica-
tion by light. When the flashlight is in OFF state, there is a multicolor
state indication.
Battery level is more than 25%. The color LED in the button flashes
green once every 4 seconds.
Low battery level. When the battery level becomes less than approx-
imately 25%, the color LED in the button indicates the warning level by
flashing orange 1 time every 2 seconds. With a further drop in voltage,
the brightness begins to decrease in steps to ensure the safety of
the battery and the user. If the brightness of the mode (except Firefly
modes and Main1) drops below approximately 25% from the nominal
value, the main LED flashes 2 times. When the battery level becomes
critical, less than approximately 10%, the color LED flashes red 1 time
every second.
High temperature. When the temperature of the flashlight increases
to the warning level, the color LED in the button flashes orange 3 times
every 2 seconds. At critical level the LED flashes red 3 times every
second. The brightness begins to decrease to a safe level.
Multicolor state indication. Short flashes of the LED in the button
every 4 seconds show the battery level when the flashlight is in OFF
state (until the battery level becomes lower than the critical one).
The indication also helps to find the flashlight in the dark.
Switching multicolor indication on/o. Multicolor indication has
3 operating modes:
1. The indication is switched o in Firefly modes (disabled after 10 sec-
onds of operation) and in OFF state (by default).
2. The indication is switched on in any state.
3. The indication is switched o in any state.
To change the operating mode, unscrew the tailcap to 1/4 while the
flashlight is o, press the button and keeping the button pressed, tight-
en and unscrew the tailcap again. Operating modes of the indication
will switch cyclically. The settings will be memorized even when the
battery is changed. Ultra-low current consumption allows multicolor
indication to work for a maximum period of time.
Warnings
For eective operation of the flashlight, we recommend branded
18350 Li-Ion batteries or 16340 Li-Ion batteries without PCB (unpro-
tected) or with PCB which guarantees 4A discharge current.
The flashlight can get hot in Turbo modes, Strobe2 and Strobe3 quickly
and discharge the battery with high current. Don’t leave it without your
attention as very bright light might heat objects and cause fire.
For storage or transportation of the flashlight in a pocket or a bag
it is necessary to activate the lock-out function to ensure protec-
tion from accidental switching on.
It is forbidden to charge the battery inside the flashlight when the
ambient temperature is below 0 °C.
1. Always follow the instructions from this manual and recommenda-
tions on battery usage.
2. Apply only the recommended power sources.
3. Do not reverse battery polarity.
4. Do not modify or recast the flashlight and its components as it will
deprive you of the warranty.
5. Do not allow water or any other liquid to leak into the flashlight.
6. Do not aim a switched-on flashlight at people's or animals' eyes — it
can cause temporary blindness.
7. Do not allow children to use the flashlight without your assistance.
The producer will not be liable for any harm done to the user if it
was caused by improper use of the product.
Care and Storage
It is recommended to clean the threads and O-rings o dirt and old
grease once or twice per year. Remember that reliable protection from
water and dust cannot be provided by worn-out sealing. The fouling as
well as lack of grease cause fast wear-out of the threads and sealing
rings.
5PRIME C1 PRO USER MANUAL ENGREV_00-0000
To clean the threads do the following:
1. Unscrew the tailcap and remove the sealing rings carefully with a
toothpick (do not use sharp metal objects as they can damage the
rings).
2. Wipe the sealing rings thoroughly with a soft cloth (or tissue). Do not
use solvents. If the sealing ring is worn out or damaged, replace it
with a new one.
3. Clean the metal threads with a brush using ethanol. Be careful not to
allow the applied liquid inside the flashlight, as it can cause malfunc-
tioning of the flashlight.
After cleaning, grease the threads and the sealing rings that have
been installed in place with polyalphaolefin-based silica grease, e.g.
Nyogel 760G. The application of other types of grease is unacceptable.
In case of active operation and exploitation in dusty environments, it is
recommended to clean and grease the parts as often as the necessity
arises.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND leaving power supplies (especially
non-rechargeable) inside the flashlight for a long storage period, as
they can leak for various reasons and damage the inner parts of the
flashlight. If you want to keep your flashlight in a stand-by state with
batteries in, previously install new and high-quality batteries, store
the flashlight in acceptable for batteries operational temperature and
revise the batteries' state at least once a month. If you have noticed any
signs of defects, withdraw the batteries from the flashlight and dispose
of them.
