User manual NITECORE TM26

[. . . ] Do not use lithium batteries without a protected circuit board. This product does not support unprotected 18650 Li-ion batteries. Please also ensure that all the 18650 batteries used in the TM26 have a button top configuration or they will not make contact with terminals in the battery compartment. We recommend Nitecore 18650 batteries for the best performance and reliability.

[. . . ] Lockout mode consumes almost no battery power and prevents the light from accidentally turning on. Simply press the switch and hold for more than one second to exit lockout mode. NB: If the display button is pressed when in lockout mode, the OLED display will show the words “LOCK OUT” as a reminder. Brightness Selection In Daily Mode 1. With the TM26 turned on in Daily mode, press the switch partway down to select a brightness level of ultra-low, low, medium or high. The selected brightness level will be memorized when the light is turned off. With the TM26 turned on in Daily mode, press the switch partway down and hold to enter into turbo mode. A second partway press will revert back to the brightness level last used. Power Tips 1. With the light switched on, the power indicator will blink once every two seconds when power levels reach 50%. With the light switched on, the power indicator will blink rapidly when power levels are low. Note: When the light is being used in ultra-low mode, the blue power indicator will turn off to help conserve power. Bright Selection In Turbo Mode With the TM26 turned on in Search/Turbo mode, partway presses of the button will cycle between high and ultra-high mode. There is no memory function in Search/Turbo mode. Thermal protection Momentary Daily / Turbo Mode 1. With the TM26 turned off, press the switch partway down and hold to activate Momentary Daily mode. Release the switch to turn the light off again. With the TM26 turned off, press the switch all the way down and hold to enter into Momentary Turbo mode. Release the switch to turn the light off again. Standby Mode With the TM26 turned on, press the switch all the way down and release within one second to enter into standby mode. In this mode, the light will consume small amounts of power to maintain the settings in the MCU (micro control unit) but appear to be turned off. When in standby mode the power indicator light will flash once every three seconds to show the location of the light. As the TM26 is very compact, extended operation in Turbo mode will cause the body temperature to continually rise, thus, making it too hot to comfortably hold. As a result, Nitecore does not recommend using the TM26 in Turbo mode for extended periods. The TM26 has an integrated thermal protection circuit which prevents overheating. With the light turned on in Search/Turbo mode, for user safety and to protect the flashlight from failure, the TM26 will automatically reduce its output to prevent overheating once it has reached 60 degrees. Precaution: When the flashlight is hot, do not attempt to cool it by submerging it in liquid. Due to the differences in internal and external air pressure the TM26 may suffer irreparable water damage. Changing / Charging Batteries OLED Display 1.
