and flashlight turns off.
2. Standard – single click.
3. Low Light – double click.
Click once from any mode to turn flashlight off.
B. Charging the UC3.400
The recharging of the UC3.400
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 UC3.400 flashlight, please:
• Charge the UC3.400 flashlight for 4 hours before routine use.
• Store the UC3.400 flashlight on the charger when not in use.”
The UC3.400 flashlight can be used immediately out of the box using the
standard 90-second charge, however before routine use charge it for 4
hours. The UC3.400 flashlight is designed to be placed on the charger and
stored, while plugged-in, indefinitely with no performance degradation.
In fact, leaving the UC3.400 flashlight stored on its charger will help maintain
its maximum performance. In addition, the charging unit uses very little
battery power once it has completed its charge cycle and the blue light stops
flashing.

The low power consumption of the charger will NOT drain your
car’s battery when leaving the flashlight stored in the charger and
connected through the DC plug.
To Charge:
Insert the tail end (with gold rings) of the UC3.400 flashlight into the charger
unit until it “snaps” into place. Once inserted, the flashlight will immediately
begin its 90 second charge cycle.
The status of the charge is indicated by the blue LED on the charger. The
LED will begin with a slow steady blink and increase its speed until it reaches
a steady illumination at the end of the cycle. This steady blue light indicates
the UC3.400 is fully charged and ready for use.
After the initial charge cycle, there may be brief periods of additional LED
activity. This is perfectly normal as it indicates the ongoing maintenance
of the energy stored in the capacitors. Our FlashPoint® Power Technology
constantly monitors the level of power available in the unit to ensure that
your flashlight is always fully charged and ready for peak performance.
Note: High Temperature Charging
Your flashlight charger has automatic temperature overload protection.
Charging in high temperatures (i.e, 120 degrees Fahrenheit or more) may
temporarily reduce the flashlight runtime slightly.
C. Mounting your Flashlight (Automotive Mounting)
1. Select suitable location for mounting, e.g. the transmission “hump”.
2. Using the attached template, mark and drill 4 – ¼” holes.
3. Secure the back bracket to the mounting location using the screws
provided.

4. Turn the power cord so that it points downward.
5. Remove the flashlight from the charger.
6. Clip the flashlight charger to the mounting bracket by sliding it
upward and toward the mount wall. (Figure 1) Make sure to push
the base of the charger back until the securing tabs click into
place.
7. The charger can be removed from the bracket by inserting a
standard screwdriver blade at the base of the unit and prying the
metal bracket away from the bottom of the charger.
8. Insert the plug into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter or 12V accessory
outlet.
9. The cigarette lighter plug contains a mandatory fuse and ensures
proper polarity with the vehicle’s electrical system. Please
follow the recommended hardwiring installation instructions if
permanently installing the charger in a vehicle. See details below.
D. Hardwiring Installation Instructions
The Light For Life™ charging unit is a sophisticated power management
device. When actively charging the flashlight, there are periods of
moderate current consumption throughout the 90 sec recharge cycle.
In order to ensure reliable operation, all of the connections from the
charger to the vehicle’s 12 volt power source must be solid, secure, and
perform with very low resistance.
Any modification to the charger’s power cord or cigarette plug connector
should be proposed by an engineer well versed in automotive power
distribution systems and their effect on peripheral equipment.
CAUTION: ONLY QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIANS SHOULD
ATTEMPT TO “HARDWIRE” OR PERMANENTLY MOUNT THE
CHARGER UNIT INTO A VEHICLE’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ENGLISH
TAC59063_UC3400_UserGuide_510.indd 7 5/10/10 4:38 PM
8UC3.400 User Guide
The existing cigarette plug connector contains an 8 amp “fast blow” fuse
that must be replaced with an equivalent value if it is ever removed from
the charger’s power cord.
All wire runs should be short as possible and use 14AWG wire.
All wire terminations should be crimped using only recommended tools
AND SOLDERED to minimize resistance.
• Do not splice into existing ground or power wires.
• Do not share crimp connectors with any other electrical device.
• Do not use multiple butt connectors on a single run of wire.
• The charger positive wire should exist on its own fuse.
• Do not share power with other devices.
Please contact the service team of 5.11 Tactical® at (866) 451-1726 in the
U.S. and Internationally at +46 40 467 388 or an authorized distributor for
authorized hardwire installation procedures and components.
E. AC Adapter Instructions
The 5.11 AC adapter converts the AC power in your home or office to a
direct current (DC) power source required by your Light For LifeTM charg-
ing unit. It replaces the 12 Volt DC power that is used when the charger is
connected to the DC outlet or cigarette lighter outlet in your vehicle.
Set Up Instructions
1. Remove the AC power cord from the box and insert the small end of
the dual line cord into the female receptacle on the adapter.
2. Insert the large end of the line cord into your AC power source or
wall outlet.
3. Connect the large female “cigarette plug” on the adapter to the
male plug attached to the flashlight charger.

provide preventative maintenance on the UC3.400 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.
