I. Operating Instructions
A. On/Off Operations
The PC3.300 flashlight is operated with an on/off button pushed similarly to a
“computer mouse click.”
There are multiple modes of operation with the PC3.300. You may activate the
various modes by pressing the side or tail buttons (I/O) on the flashlight.
1. Peak– From any mode, hold down button
2. Standard – single click
3. Strobe – double click
Click once from any mode to turn flashlight off.
B. Charging the PC3.300
The recharging of the flashlight is a simple process of inserting the flashlight
into the charging unit until it “snaps” into place. The “blue” LED indicator
light on top of the charging unit will display the recharge cycle performance.
Unlike conventional flashlights, the Light for Life is designed to be stored in
the charger when not in use, and in no way shortens or negatively affects its
run-time or use.
For optimum performance of your Light For Life flashlight, please:
• Charge the flashlight for 24 hours within the first week of operation.
• Store the flashlight on the charger when not in use.
The flashlight can be used immediately out of the box using the standard
90-second charge. Once the 24 hour charge cycle is complete, the flashlight
will continue to recharge in only 90 seconds. The light is designed to be

placed on the charger and stored, while plugged-in, indefinitely with no
performance degradation. In fact, leaving the light stored on its charger will
help maintain its maximum performance.
To Charge:
1. Insert the connector side of the flashlight into the charger unit. This is
the side opposite the side button on the flashlight. The flashlight will
automatically begin charging when it “snaps” into the charger unit.
2. When the flashlight is inserted in the charger unit, the blue light at the
top of the charger will begin to blink. As the flashlight charges, the
blinking will increase in speed until the blue light is solid, indicating
that the flashlight has reached a full charge and is ready for use. The
flashlight can be removed from the charger unit at any time during the
charge cycle without negative effects to the flashlight, charger, or long
term performance. Removing the flashlight before the light turns solid
results in an incomplete charge cycle and shorter run time.
Note: High Temperature Charging
Your flashlight Charger has automatic temperature overload protection.
Charging in high temperatures (defined as 120 degrees Fahrenheit or more)
will increase charge time slightly. This is normal and will ensure a prolonged
life of your flashlight.

C. Mounting your Flashlight (Automotive Mounting)
1. Select a suitable location for mounting, e.g. the transmission “hump.”
2. Remove the flashlight from the charger.
3. Secure the charger base to the mounting location using the screws
provided. (NOTE: It is recommended that the charger be installed with
an up or down power cord orientation – see the images below which
shows the 2 recommended charger orientations).
4. Insert the cigarette plug end of the power cord into the vehicle’s
cigarette lighter or 12V accessory outlet.
5. Do not remove the cigarette lighter plug from the cord. The cigarette
lighter plug contains a mandatory fuse and ensures proper polarity
with the vehicle’s electrical system. For questions, please contact the
service team of 5.11 Tactical at (866) 451-1726 in the U.S. and +46 40 467
388 in Europe or an authorized distributor.

II. Care and Use of Flashlight and Charger
1. While the flashlight is designed to be water resistant, do not
submerge it in water.
2. Prevent the charger from prolonged or extensive exposure to
water. A wet flashlight from the rain is fine to be placed in the
charger, but the charger needs to be installed in a dry environment.
3. For optimal efficiency it is necessary to periodically inspect and
provide preventative maintenance on the PC3.300 flashlight. If at
any time the light becomes soiled, clean with a soft cloth and mild
detergent.
4. For lens cleaning, use a gentle camera lens cleaner and lens cloth.
Rub gently to remove any fingerprints on the lens.
5. It is imperative that chemicals and harsh abrasives not be used.
6. This flashlight is not suitable for use in high pressure environments.
7. DO NOT dismantle flashlight when cleaning.
8. Keep the charging contact holes free of debris.
9. Keep foreign objects out of the charger base.
III. Safety Precautions
1. The PC3.300 is not classified as intrinsically safe, meaning it is not
approved for use in hazardous atmospheres. It is important that
this light not be used in areas requiring explosion proof lighting.
2. To avoid the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury caused
by improper handling of the charger, do not attempt to use the
charger unit to charge any other flashlight or rechargeable device.
Do not use any other brand of charger with the PC3.300 flashlight.
3. Do not shine the flashlight directly into the eyes as this may cause
severe damage to eyesight.
4. Make sure the charger unit is disconnected from any other power
sources when performing any routine cleaning or maintenance.

IV. Cautions and Warnings
Although the PC3.300 Flashlight is designed to be splash-proof, full
submersion of the flashlight is not recommended and will void the
warranty.
Do not attempt to service the flashlight or charger unit in any way. Do not
insert metal objects into the charger unit or flashlight contact holes; doing
so could result in personal harm or injury and permanent damage to the
unit and would also void the warranty.
To reduce the risk of product malfunction and personal injury due to shock
or burns, do not expose the charger unit to water, liquid, or excessive
condensation.
If the charging unit is saturated by water, liquid, or excessive
condensation, unplug the unit immediately and allow it to dry completely
before plugging it back in and resuming charging. DO NOT REACH INTO
WATER TO RETRIEVE THE UNIT IF IT IS STILL PLUGGED IN.
