Specifications
• Distinct hotspot and minimal spill for directed aim illumination
• Pro Powerful electronics provides constant brightness even at a
temperature of -40 °C and not fully charged battery
• Special precisely calculated reflector for High Intensity LED modifi-
cation, which provides 1.5 times the light range compared to a usual
LED, and tempered glass with anti-reflective coating for maximum

• Innovative technology allows using any standard 18650 Li-Ion
battery with 10A discharge current. Full protection against short
circuit even in case of contact between magnetic connector and metal
objects
• Solid body made from aircraft-grade aluminium, special matt anti-
abrasive finish without rough knurling
• Steel striking bezel with matt non-reflective black titanium coating,
which prevents location disclosure, is used for additional protection of
the optical system in the event of a fall and as a shock-crushing tool
• Active real-time temperature control to prevent overheating above
+58 °C and warning indication of low battery level

Initial Service
TO SET/REPLACE BATTERY
1. Unscrew the tailcap.
2. Place the battery with the positive contact (+) facing the head of the
flashlight.
3. Adjust the tailcap and tighten it as far as it can go.
The flashlight is ready for operation.
HOW TO CONNECT THE MAGNETIC CHARGER
Tighten the head of the flashlight as far as it can go and adjust the
magnetic charger to the tailcap.
CHARGER COLOR INDICATION
Charger not plugged in:
• Green — device is in waiting mode.
Charger plugged in:
• Green blinking — evaluation of battery voltage.
• Red blinking — clean the external and internal contacts of the tailcap,
as well as the contact areas of the charger.
• Orange blinking — USB power source voltage is too low for correct
continuation of charging or bad contact between charger and battery.
Clean the tailcap and the threads of the flashlight parts, use a dier-
ent power source.
• Red — charging with rated charging current is going on.
• Orange — USB power source voltage is too low, charging current is
reduced.
• Green — charging is finished.
Operation
Before use: Tighten the tailcap as far as it can go.
IN ANY MODE
Permanent on. First full click of the button turns the flashlight on.
Second full click turns it o.
Momentary on. Switched on by half-pressing of the button (no click)
and active till the button is released.
To switch between types of operation unscrew and tighten up the
head of the flashlight at least 10 times (during rotation the modes will
be changing). The pause between the moves must be less than 1 sec.
The flashlight blinks once, confirming the action.
HUNTING TYPE (BY DEFAULT)
Turbo. Before switching on the flashlight in Turbo mode, tighten the
head of the flashlight if it is unscrewed.
Additional modes. Before switching on the flashlight in Additional
mode, unscrew the head to 1/8 if it is tightened. Full click switches on
the last used Additional mode.
Cycling through Additional modes. To change the mode turn the
flashlight o and on (by full click or half-pressing). The flashlight must
not be turned o for more than 2 sec. The modes switch cyclically:
Main1 – Main2 – Main3 – Strobe2 (if enabled).
Add/Remove Strobe2 in Additional modes. Switch on the flashlight
by half-pressing at least 20 times. The flashlight must not be turned on
for more than 1 sec. Last switch must be full click. The flashlight blinks
once, confirming the action.
Remote switch must be used in Turbo mode.

TACTICAL TYPE
Constant light. Before switching on the flashlight in Constant light
mode, tighten the head if it is unscrewed.
Changing Constant light modes. The head is tightened: unscrew it to
1/8 and tighten again in 1 sec. Turbo and Main2 will switch cyclically.
Strobe. Before switching on the flashlight in Strobe mode, unscrew the
head to 1/8 if it is tightened.
Changing Strobe modes. The head is unscrewed: tighten it and un-
screw to 1/8 again in 1 sec. Strobe1 and Strobe2 will switch cyclically.
Remote switch can be used in ANY mode.
Automemorizing. After switching o the last used mode is memorized
for quick access at next switching on.
Lock-out function. Unscrew the tailcap to 1/4 for protection from
accidental switching on.
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 be-
comes close to +58 °C, the brightness decreases, which allows avoiding
flashlight and battery overheating, as well as LED degradation. Under
good cooling conditions, the flashlight delivers light without stepping
down.
Low battery level. When the battery voltage drops, the brightness
will begin to decrease in steps to ensure the safety of the battery and
the user. When the brightness of the mode drops below approximately
25% from the nominal value, the main LED flashes 2 times. If you are
not sure whether it flashed or not, turn the flashlight o and on: if the
battery is low, the flashes will repeat 30 seconds after switching on.
Warnings
For eective operation of the flashlight in Turbo and Strobe2 modes,
the use of branded 18650 Li-Ion batteries without PCB (unprotected)
or with PCB which guarantees 10A discharge current is required.
The flashlight can get hot in Turbo and Strobe2 modes 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.
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
5PREDATOR PRO USER MANUAL ENGREV_00-0001
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.
