A. On/Off Operations
The PC3.300 flashlight is operated with a multi-function button
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.

button and revert to previous mode.
2. Standard - single click.
3. Strobe - double click.
Click once from any mode to turn flashlight off.

P3:
1. Peak - from any mode, hold down button, release button from any mode
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 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 PC3.300 flashlight for 24 hours before routine use.
• Store the PC3.300 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.In addition, the charging unit uses
very little 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 connector side (opposite the I/O button) of the PC3.300
flashlight into the charger unit. The magnet embedded in the flashlight will
automatically “snap” and hold it in proper alignment with the charger. 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 PC3.300 is fully charged and ready for use.
The PC3.300 flashlight may be removed from the charger unit at any time
during the charge cycle without negative effects. Removing the PC3.300
flashlight before the blue light turns a steady glow results in an incomplete
charge and reduced flashlight run time.
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 run time slightly.

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.

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 INSTALL THE CHARGING UNIT INTO
A VEHICLE’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
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
charging 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.
3. Connect the large female “cigarette plug” on the adapter to the male
plug attached to the flashlight charger.
On/Off Operations
The 5.11 AC adapter does not contain a separate on/off switch and will be
fully energized and operational as soon as it is plugged into an AC power
source or wall outlet. You must unplug the AC power cord in order to turn
the adapter off.
II. Care and Use of Flashlight and Charger
1. Although 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
ENGLISH
TAC5382_PC3300_userGuide_510.indd 9 5/10/10 4:38 PM
10 PC3.300 User Guide
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.
