Operations
- Basic - Turn on the light by press and release the on/off button switch (<0.4s). To turn off the light, press and release the switch again.
- For momentary on, press and hold the button switch for immediate output.
- Twist the head to select between three output levels. You can pre-select the desired output level before turning on the flashlight.
- Instant Turbo output - at any output level, press and hold the flashlight for 100% output. Release the button to return to previous level.
- Instant Strobe output - at any output level (or off), double press and hold the on/off button switch for strobe output. Release the button to return to previous level (or off).
- To access auxiliary levels, starting at head tight position (1st level), loosen to 3rd level and then tighten the head within one second to enter auxiliary setting. Repeat to cycle through all settings. Turn off the light or loosen the head to quit.
- (Programmable Features) Mode switching: To switch between tactical and regular mode, turn on the flashlight at 1st level, dial to 2nd level and then back to 1st level for ten times within five seconds.
- (Programmable Features) Energy saving feature: Enabled by default, this feature reduces output current by 45% (or 15% when disabled) after 200 seconds at turbo mode. To toggle this feature, turn on the flashlight at 3rd level, and dial to 2nd level and then back to 3rd level for ten times within five seconds.

Battery Safety Precaution
When using primary (non-rechargeable) batteries (1.5V alkaline/lithium type), ensure they are brand new from the same pack in the same production date. When you are using rechargeable batteries, ensure all batteries belong the same brand/model/condition and are fully charged to similar voltage and capacity.When using unmatched batteries, during discharge, some cells can empty out before others when the voltage of the batteries are brought too low. If these already discharged cells are discharged further more, they are subjected to reversed polarity charge. In this case, alkaline batteries may leak, and rechargeable batteries may release gas which may damage the batteries and possibly the flashlight. GX25A3 has built-in low voltage warning which activates at about 6.2V to warn users about the potential of reversal charge which may occur at low voltage. Reduce brightness output or replace batteries when batteries are almost empty. It is very important that you disconnect the batteries (by untwisting the tailcap) or remove the batteries when the flashlight is not in use for a long period of time. Our product warranty does not cover damage due to battery leak or gas leak due to reversed charging (we can still fix it, but replacement parts will be charged).
All EAGTAC flashlights are designed to use “button-top?battery (battery with protruding positive terminal). For rechargeable li-ion battery, use only EAGTAC li-ion battery, or other protected li-ion battery with compatible length and diameter. Before using the battery, check and ensure the battery outer wrapping (the isolating plastic film that wraps around the metal housing of the battery) is complete. Broken battery wrapping may lead to short circuit and damage to the flashlight.
Lithium and Li-ion battery can explode or cause burns if disassembled, shorted, or exposed to high temperature. Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not mix batteries with different brand, capacity, voltage, or install batteries backwards. Back to top
Flashlight Maintenance
Periodically clean the threads and o-rings with a lint free cloth and apply a thin coating of EAGTAC synthetic grease to the o-rings and threads. After prolonged exposure to moisture, the head and batteries should be removed, inspected, and dried. Do not touch or attempt to clean the reflector, as it will scratch the reflective coating permanently. Back to topOther battery types runtime
Below lists the turbo output runtime with different battery types:w/ energy saving enabled
(3xEneloop xx 2.5Ah) 1.6hrs, (3xEnergizer Lithium) 2hrs, (3xEnergizer Max*) 0.5hs+, (3xEAGTAC 14500 750mAh) 1.5hs,
w/ energy saving disabled
(3xEneloop xx 2.5Ah) 0.9hr, (3xEnergizer Lithium) 1.1hrs, (3xEnergizer Max*) 0.5hrs+, (3xEAGTAC 14500 750mAh) 0.9hs,
* When using alkaline batteries, we recommend you to limit the usage of 100% output to prolong runtime, as alkaline batteries are designed for lower current discharge.

- Product weight exclude battery
- All batteries must have protruding top button.
- Beam output diameter taken at one meter
- ANSI FL-1 Lumens is a measurement of light output standardized by American National Standards Institute for use with flashlights. This ANSI Lumen measurement is the total overall light output being emitted from the flashlight. This measurement is generally more accurate as it takes into consideration the loss from reflector/lens/bezel. EAGTAC’s ANSI Lumen output is measured using a calibrated integrated sphere three minutes after turning on the flashlight. For O.T.F. lumen, measurement is taken one minute after turning on the flashlight.
- Output is measured with energy saving feature disabled. With this feature disabled (enabled), maximum output current will be reduced from 100% to 85% (55%) after 200 seconds at turbo output. This feature is enabled by default.
- Turbo output runtime is measured with energy saving feature enabled using low self-discharge AA batteries with 2000mAh capacity.
- When the combined voltage for three AA (or li-ion) batteries falls below 2.9V (or 9.6V), the LED will flash once every 30 seconds to remind you that the battery is almost out. Lower the output to extend runtime and replace/recharge batteries.
- Details and feature maybe subject to change without notice.
