1. Insert batteries with the positive (+) end pointing toward the
flashlight head.
2. Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
3. Do not mix batteries of different types/brands.
4. Do not mix batteries of different charge levels.
5. Do not use lithium batteries without a protected circuit board.
6. This product does not support 18650 rechargeable Li-ion
batteries without protection circuit board as the battery length will
be too short to be used.
General Operation
NB:
The TM11 utilizes a 2-stage switch (similar to a camera shutter
button). The light’s numerous functions are selected according
to the depth the switch is pressed.
The TM11 has two modes: Daily mode and Turbo mode.
With the light turned off:
·
Press the switch partway down and hold to enter Momentary Daily
mode. Release the switch to turn the light off again.
·
Press the switch all the way down and hold to enter into
Momentary Turbo mode. Release the switch to turn the light off
again.
·
Press the switch partway down and release within one second to
access Constant Output Daily mode. Press switch to turn light off
again.
·
Press the switch all the way down and release within one second
to access Constant Turbo mode. Press switch to turn light off
again.
Thanks for purchasing NITECORE!
Standby Mode / Lockout and Unlock functions
With the light turned on:
Press the switch all the way down and release within one second to enter
into standby mode. In this mode, the light will consume small amounts of
power to maintain the settings in the MCU (micro control unit) but appear to
be turned off. When in standby mode the power indicator light will flash once
every three seconds to show the location of the light.
With the light turned on:
Press the switch all the way down and hold for more than one second. The
light will turn off and enter into lockout mode. Lockout mode consumes
almost no battery power and prevents the light from accidentally turning on.
To exit the lockout mode, simply press the switch three times within one
second.
NB:
When in lockout mode, the power indicator will flash to indicate specific
battery voltage. Please refer to the “Power Tips” section of this manual
for details.
Brightness Selection in Daily Mode
When turned on in Daily mode, press the switch partway down to select a
brightness level of low, medium or high. The selected brightness level will be
memorized when the light is turned off.
Strobe Function
With the light turned on, press the switch all the way down twice in quick
succession to access strobe mode. Press once again to exit the strobe
mode.

NOTICE
Stated data has been measured according to the international flashlight
testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL1 by using eight SYSMAX CR123 batteries
in the laboratory. The data may vary due to different battery usage and
environment conditions.
Operation instructions
Battery installation
Insert 4 × 18650 Li-ion or 8 × CR123 batteries with the positive (+) end
pointing toward the flashlight head. In special circumstances, such as an
emergency situations, one to three 18650 Li-ion or two to six (R) CR123
batteries may be used. After loading the batteries, the power indicator light
will flicker to show the battery voltage. Please refer to the “Power Tips”
section of this manual for details.

Output & Runtime
Note:
The potential risks of over-discharging batteries can include
leakage and explosion so caution must be exercised when
using less than 4 x 18650 or 8 x CR123. Ensure you know
your batteries’ limits and use the TM11’s emergency
functionality sparingly. Furthermore, maximum output may be
reduced when using less than the maximum amount of
batteries.
Power Tips
1. When the light is on, the power indicator will blink once every two seconds
when power levels reach 50%.
2. When the light is on, the power indicator will flicker constantly when power
is very low.
3. Each time batteries are inserted or the light is put into lockout mode, the
power indicator light will blink in various patterns to show the battery
voltage (accurate to ±0.1V). For example, when the battery voltage is at a
maximum charge of 4.2V, the power indicator will blink 4 times in quick
succession, followed by a one second pause and two more blinks,
indicating a total battery voltage of 4.2V.
Thermal protection
TM11 is very compact. Extended operation in Turbo mode will cause the
body temperature to continually rise, thus, making it too hot to use. So
NITECORE does not recommend using the TM11 in Turbo mode for
extended periods. TM11 built-in thermal protection circuit prevents
overheating. For your safety and to protect the flashlight from failure, the
TM11 will automatically reduce its output to prevent overheating once it has
reached 60 degrees.
Precaution:
When the flashlight is hot, do not attempt to cool it by
submerging it in liquid.
Changing batteries
When the power indicator blinks consistently it means the batteries need to
be replaced or recharged. Alternatively if the light becomes dim or
unresponsive to adjustments once again, the batteries need to be replaced
or recharged.
Maintenance
Clean the threads twice a year with a clean soft cloth and apply thin
coat of silicone-based lubricant.
