UC3.400 User Guide

Q:  How does the flashlight function in cold temperatures?  What is the 

minimum operating temperature?  Would extremely cold temperatures 

affect any of the other electronics or LEDs?

A:  We have tested our flashlights to -20ºC.  Because the flashlight does 

not use batteries, it can operate without any loss of performance at very 

low temperatures.  The electronics are not adversely affected by cold 

temperatures.

Q:  Is the flashlight water resistant and/or water proof?  Is it safe to use 

in heavy rains?  

A:  The flashlight is water resistant and it may safely be used in heavy rain.  It 

is recommended however, that the flashlights not be submerged in water.

Q:  May I buy the flashlights with an EU standard charger (e.g., 230 volts 

AC), or can I use the charger only in a 120-volt AC network?

A:  You can use the flashlight’s charger with either AC adapter – 230 or 120-

volt AC networks.  The flashlight charges in a 12-volt DC car adapter plug or 

in a universal AC adapter that plugs into a standard wall socket available for 

U.S., U.K., and E.U. sockets.  

Q:  Is 5.11 planning to make other flashlights with the same technology? 

A:  We will continue to develop flashlights with unique technologies to meet 

our customers’ needs.

Q:  Where is the switch located on the flashlight?

A:  The switch is located on the side of the flashlight housing.

Q:  What kind of darkness penetration can we expect from the 

flashlight?

A:  The flashlight issues a tightly-focused beam that easily illuminates objects 

over 100 yards away.  The halo or corona is also effective at illuminating 

nearby objects.
