until click). The light is shipped from the factory in the default
High-Strobe-Low program.
• High: Tap and hold; click to lock on; click again for off.
• Strobe: Fast double-tap (within 0.4 seconds) and hold; click
to lock on; click again for off.
• Low: Fast triple-tap (within 0.4 seconds per tap) and hold;
click to lock on; click again for off.
CAUTION:
The Scorpion HL provides a powerful beam. When operated for
a long time, it will get uncomfortably warm.
This is NORMAL
and is not a defect. Any LED flashlight of similar size and
performance will produce similar amounts of heat during
operation. The only way to reduce operating heat is to
SIGNIFICANTLY lower the output, or increase the size of the
flashlight. While this heating may trigger the drop reflex if an
unattended hot light is picked up, the temperature does not
present a burn hazard. When used tactically for short periods
of time to clear a room, check for intruders, etc., heating will
not be a problem.
WARNING: Use of light in "strobe" mode may cause seizure
in persons with photosensitive epilepsy.
ACCESSING OTHER PROGRAMS
The Scorpion HL features a TEN-TAP™ programmable switch
allowing the user to select one of three different programs. To
change to the next program, starting from the "Off" position, tap
the switch rapidly 9 times (within 0.4 seconds per tap) and hold
it down the 10th time. Continue holding the switch until the
light turns off (approximately 1 second), then release the switch.
Available programs are
High-Strobe-Low
(Factory Default),
High Only
or
Low-High.
BULB REPLACEMENT
LED models do not require bulb replacement.
The xenon bi-pin bulb is designed to last through three (3) to
five (5) sets of batteries in continuous use. Intermittent use
may produce less bulb life (due to repeated start up shock and
higher voltage spikes).
Do not
attempt to change the LED in the
Scorpion LED and Scorpion X.
The Scorpion (xenon) contains a spare bulb that is located
inside the bulb holder assembly. Unscrew the flashlight head
from the barrel and remove the bulb holder assembly.
Always
wear safety glasses and gloves. Never touch a hot bulb; allow
it to cool before handling.
Pry off the cup-shaped silver colored
contact on the bottom of the bulb holder assembly; remove the
spare bulb and replace the contact. Firmly grasp the burned out
bulb and pull it from the holder assembly. Grasp the replacement
bulb and direct the pins straight into the holes in the holder
assembly until the bulb is firmly seated.
WARNING:
The Scorpion (xenon) utilizes a high wattage xenon
bulb that can get very hot. Never place the Scorpion face-down
against a flat surface or against any flammable object. Transport
or store the Scorpion in a way that minimizes the chance it can
accidentally be turned on.
MAINTENANCE
Keep O-ring area on barrel lubricated. The rubber armored grip
on the flashlight barrel needs little maintenance.
IMPORTANT
- Be sure to use genuine Streamlight replacement
parts
