Note:
The stated data is measured in accordance with the international flashlight testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL1, using 1 x
18650 Li-ion battery (3,500mAh) under laboratory conditions. The data may vary in real world use due to different battery usage or
environmental conditions.
* The runtime for TURBO mode is tested without the temperature regulation.
* TURBO Availability: The TURBO level is only accessible when using an 18650 rechargeable Li-ion battery with an output over 8A or
an IMR 18650 high-drain rechargeable Li-ion battery. It is inaccessible when using CR123/RCR123 batteries.
Battery Installation / Removal
As illustrated, after unscrewing the battery cap, insert / remove the
battery(s) and screw to tighten the battery cap.
Note:
After the battery insertion, the power indicator beside the tail
switches will flash to indicate the battery voltage. Please refer to the “Power
Indication” section of this manual for more details.
Warnings:
1. Ensure the battery(s) is/are inserted with the positive end towards
the head. The product will not work if the battery(s) is/are incorrectly
inserted.
2. CAUTION! Possible dangerous radiation! Don't look into the light! May be
dangerous for your eyes.
3. When the power level is low, please stop using the product and replace or
recharge the battery to prevent damage to the battery.
4. 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.
5. DO NOT submerge the light into any liquid when it is hot. Doing so may
cause irreparable damage to the light due to the difference of air pressure
inside and outside of the tube.
Beam Switching
The CR7 has an easy switching mechanism between the red and white beams. Push
the head outwards and rotate the head clockwise or counterclockwise as illustrated to
switch between the red and white beams.
Tactical Momentary Illumination
Half press and hold the Power Button to turn on the light momentarily. Release to turn
it off.
Note:
The CR7 has mode memory. When reactivated, the flashlight will automatically
access the previous memorized level or mode.

Operating Instructions of the Red Beam
The following instructions are only applicable when the red beam is selected.
On / Off
On: When the red beam is off, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to access the memorized level of the red beam.
Off: When the red beam is on, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to turn it off.
Output Levels
When the red beam is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through the following red output levels: LOW – MID – HIGH.
Momentary Access to HIGH
When the red beam is on, press and hold the Mode Button to access the HIGH level of the red beam. Release to return to the previous
memorized red output level.
Operating Instructions of the White Beam
The following instructions are only applicable when the white beam is selected.
On / Off
On: When the white beam is off, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to access the memorized level of the white beam.
Off: When the white beam is on, press the Power Button until a click sound is heard to turn it off.
User Mode Selection of the White Beam
The CR7 provides 2 user modes of the white beam for different users and situations.
Daily Mode:
When the light is on, press and hold the Mode Button to momentarily access the TURBO level of the white beam. Release
to return to the previous memorized brightness level of the white beam. (Default Setting)
Tactical Mode:
When the light is on, long press the Mode Button to directly access STROBE Mode. Short press the Mode Button again
to return to the previous memorized brightness level of the white beam.
To select a desired user mode:
1. Ensure the light is turned off.
2. Loosen the tail cap.
3. Keep holding the Mode Button on the tail cap while simultaneously tightening the tail cap.
4. Once the tail cap has been tightened, the LEDs will indicate a user mode selected by flashing once for Daily Mode and flashing twice
for Tactical Mode.
Brightness Levels
When the white beam is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through the following brightness levels of the white beam:
ULTRALOW – LOW – MID – HIGH – TURBO.
STROBE READY
TM
When the white beam is off in either user mode, press and hold the Mode Button to momentarily access STROBE Mode. Release to turn
it off.
Power Indication
When the battery is inserted, the power indicator 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:
1×18650 battery
2×CR123 batteries
Note:
When using two CR123/RCR123 in series, the indicator will show the average voltage between the two batteries.
ATR (Advanced Temperature Regulation)
The integrated ATR technology regulates the output of the CR7 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.
