A KEY MUST BE USED OR THE TLR WILL SLIDE OFF THE WEAPON RAIL UNDER RECOIL.
Rail Key Removal
1. Fully tighten the rail clamp tension bolt.
2. The e-clip will become accessible on the end of rail clamp tension bolt (not installed from the factory).
3. Align the e-clip side of the multi-tool with the pin facing towards the lens and apply pressure to free
the e-clip from the rail clamp tension bolt. The tool must push against the open end of the e-clip.
4. Unscrew the rail clamp tension bolt and remove it completely (the tension spring must stay with the
rail clamp tension bolt).
Rail Key Installation
1. Unscrew the rail clamp tension bolt and remove it completely (the tension spring must stay with the rail clamp tension bolt).
2. Place the key into the slot between the movable portion of the rail clamp and the fixed side. Note: The key is fitted properly when the rail clamp tension bolt can be installed.
3. Insert the rail clamp tension bolt through the fixed side of the rail clamp, through the key and tighten into the movable side of the clamp.
4. Tighten the rail clamp tension bolt fully against the fixed side of the rail clamp.
5. Place the e-clip onto the moveable rail clamp and align the open end with the groove in the
threaded portion of the rail clamp tension bolt.
6. Align the e-clip side of the multi-tool with the pin facing towards the switch and push the tool
until the e-clip snaps into place.
FLASHLIGHT MOUNTING/REMOVAL
1. The TLR is designed to be quickly attached or detached from the side of the weapon or accessory rail.
2. Loosen the rail clamp tension bolt.
3. Angle the TLR, placing the fixed portion of the rail clamp against the accessory rail and align the rail key with
the appropriate cross groove in the accessory rail.
4. Depress the rail clamp tension bolt to open the rail clamp, rotate the TLR into place and release the pressure on the tension bolt to “snap” the light in place.
5. Check for fit and tighten rail clamp tension bolt until the TLR is securely attached to the firearm.
BATTERY INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
At the end of battery life, the switch may appear intermittent or non-functional. Replacing the battery will restore normal operation.
1. Unscrew and remove the facecap assembly from the body of the TLR. Remove the exhausted battery from the flashlight body.
2. Insert a fresh CR123A battery, positive end first, into the body of the TLR. Battery polarity is indicated on the side of the TLR body.
3. Place the facecap assembly onto the TLR body. Fully tighten the facecap assembly to ensure that the battery makes complete contact with the internal electrical contacts.
4. For “safe” mode, loosen the facecap approximately 1⁄4 turn to the detent. The light/laser will not turn on when either button is pressed and the battery is disconnected.
Safe mode
SWITCH OPERATION
The TLR-7® and TLR-8® models feature ambidextrous side switches. The TLR-7® A and TLR-8® A models feature ambidextrous rear switches. All models provide momentary or constant activation and allows selection of the light/ laser (TLR-8® models only).
• A tap on either switch turns the unit “on” or “off”.
• Press and hold either switch for momentary activation of the unit.
• To cycle through the available modes (TLR-8® models only; Light, Laser, Light/Laser), press and hold one switch
and tap the other switch until desired mode is reached. The selected mode will be saved when unit is turned “off”.
• NOTE: The TLR will not operate if the facecap is in “safe” mode.
Side Switches
Rear Switch Options
The TLR-7® A and TLR-8® A have two versions of tail switch available, depending on user grip preference.
The LOW switch set presents the rear switches lower on either side of the trigger guard while the HIGH switch set presents the rear switch higher up on either side of the trigger guard. The LOW and HIGH tail switches are interchangeable by using the push pin feature on the multi-tool to press the retaining pin clear of the paddle on one side and then the other. See the switch removal and replacement views below.
Note: The LOW and HIGH tail switches are not compatible with the TLR-7® and TLR-8® side switch models.
TLR-7® A LOW Tail Switch
Switch Replacement
Tail Switches
The TLR ships from the factory with the strobe mode disabled. To enable strobe, starting from the “Off” position, tap either switch very rapidly 9 times (within 1⁄4 second per tap) and hold down on the 10th time. Hold the switch until the light turns off (about one second) which indicates reprogramming was successful. Repeat the procedure above to disable strobe mode.
