Battery Installation
1 AA Lithium or Alkaline
To install battery, grip the light in either hand with the battery
door facing straight up. Slide battery door latch forward with your
thumb and use your free hand to open the battery door. With a
battery installed, spring tension will make this operation possible
with one hand. To close the battery door, push it closed and then
slide the latch toward you to lock.
Princeton Tec cares about the environment and recommends
recycling batteries. For more information about battery recycling,
see www.batteryrecycling.com.
WARNING !
• Always remove drained battery immediately. Remove battery
during long periods of storage.
Switch Operation
Charge has a recessed power button to prevent negligent
discharge. The large button is textured, making it easy to locate
even while wearing gloves.
Charge has four light sources to choose from: three Ultrabright
LEDs (one each red, blue or green and IR) and one white Max-
bright LED.
Charge will turn on in Ultrabright red mode with one button press.
By pressing and releasing the button again within 1.5 seconds of
the previous button press, Ultrabright blue or green mode
(depending on your unit) will be selected. Pressing the button
once more will turn the light off.
With red, blue or green Ultrabright active, holding the power
button down for two seconds will switch to Maxbright mode. Hold
button to operate dimming function.
If Charge four-mode is off, holding the power button down for two
seconds will activate IR mode.
If the light has been on for more than two seconds in any mode,
pressing the button will turn the light off.
Mounting System
Charge is compatible with the following mounting systems: Hel-
met Rail, Above Rail, Helmet Mount, MOLLE/PALS and Picatinny
Rail. See figures 1,2,3,4 & 5 for mounting instructions.

Troubleshooting
If the Charge fails to light:
• Check battery for proper installation.
• Replace battery if proper installation is confirmed.
• Check the light for water contamination on the circuit board by
removing the five screws located on the back of the light body.
Remove batteries if there is water in the electronics, and cease
use until the light has completely dried out. If moisture accumu-
lates inside the lens, remove the bezel with a small screwdriver
and open the lens to allow moisture to evaporate.

1. ARC Rail Installation
Charge is designed to attach directly to the ARC Rail – Helmet Rail System.
Charge can mount to either left or right helmet rail. Using a flathead
screwdriver, back the set screw out approximately 5 turns, then slide
Charge dovetail into open end of helmet rail. The spring-loaded ball bearing
will engage detents. When the light is situated to your preference, hand
tighten set screw to secure Charge.

3. MICH Mount Installation
LEFT SIDE mounting is recommended to keep low profile. While it is possible to mount Charge/Helmet Mount on right side, this increases risk of
snagging. Remove screws from the plastic mounting plate and choose the appropriate metal U-clip. Slide the U-clip onto the bot tom edge of the helmet. If
excessive play is present, bend the metal clip with pliers until there is about 1mm of play between the clip and helmet. Attach the plastic mounting plate on
the outside of the hel met. Holding the metal mount tight against the bottom of helmet edge, tighten both screws until secure. Using a flathead screwdriver,
back the set screw out approximately 5 turns, then slide Charge dovetail into open end of helmet rail. The spring-loaded ball bearing will engage detents.
When the light is situated to your preference, tighten set screw to secure Charge.
4. (ABR) Above Rail Mount
A. If using MPLS ABR on a ballistic helmet, skip
to step two. For use with nonballistic helmets,
begin by snapping off unneeded portion of
ABR mount by hand or with a pair of pliers, and
discarding the smaller 'hook' portion
