Switch Operation
Charge has a recessed power button to prevent accidental
discharge. The large button is textured, making it easy to locate
even while wearing gloves.
Charge has two light sources to choose from: three Ultrabright
LEDs or one Maxbright LED. Ultrabright LEDs have two modes:
high and low. The Maxbright LED has one mode.
Charge will turn on in Ultrabright “low” mode with one button
press. By pressing and releasing the button again within 1.5
seconds of the previous button press, Ultrabright “high” mode will
be selected. Pressing the button once more will turn the light off.
Holding the power button down for two seconds at any point will
switch to the Maxbright light source.
If the light has been on for more than two seconds in any mode,
pressing the button will turn the light off.

Charge is compatible with the following mounting systems: Hel-
met Rail, Above Rail, Helmet Mount, MOLLE/PALS and Picatinny

• Check the light for water contamination on the circuit board by
removing the five screws located on the back of the light body.
Remove batteries if there is water in the electronics, and cease
use until the light has completely dried out. If moisture accumu-
lates inside the lens, remove the bezel with a small screwdriver

LEFT SIDE mounting is recommended to keep low profile. While it is possible to mount Charge/Helmet Mount on right side, this increases risk of
snagging. Remove screws from the plastic mounting plate and choose the appropriate metal U-clip. Slide the U-clip onto the bot tom edge of the helmet. If
excessive play is present, bend the metal clip with pliers until there is about 1mm of play between the clip and helmet. Attach the plastic mounting plate on
the outside of the hel met. Holding the metal mount tight against the bottom of helmet edge, tighten both screws until secure. Using a flathead screwdriver,
back the set screw out approximately 5 turns, then slide Charge dovetail into open end of helmet rail. The spring-loaded ball bearing will engage detents.
When the light is situated to your preference, tighten set screw to secure Charge.
