• Decrease or Increase Intensity:
• Adjust Focus (DFS Mode Only):
• Change Screen:
• Lock/Unlock Buttons:
• Full Intensity Shortcut:
Luxor has three light modes: Digital Focus (DFS), Beam+Flood+Lantern (BFL), and Beam+Flood (BF).

Sleep Mode
Luxor automatically turns o the Organic LED Display aer 30 seconds of inactivity. Simply press and release
the power button to turn the display back on.
About Luxor Menus
Six dierent menus may be selected by the user on Luxor’s Organic LED Display. ese menus include Battery
Percentage, Time Remaining, Electrical, Health, row, and Lumens.
Battery Percentage
e Battery Percentage menu will display the remaining battery capacity as a percentage of Luxor’s maximum
battery capacity numerically and graphically. e remaining battery capacity will also be displayed in mAh.
Time Remaining
When the Time Remaining menu is selected, either the Time to Discharge or the Time to Charge will be dis-
played. During normal operation, the Time to Discharge will be displayed. is simply tells the user how much
time is le before Luxor needs to be charged. If Luxor is being charged, Time to Charge will be displayed. is
tells the user how much longer Luxor needs to be charged for it to reach full capacity.
Electrical
e Electrical menu contains the voltage, current, and power readings of Luxor’s battery.
NOTE: If your screen is on but the LEDs are o, you should expect to see a low current (0.05A or less).
Health
e Health menu displays the condition (New, Good, Ok, Poor, Bad, or Replace) and temperature of Luxor’s
battery in degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius.
NOTE: Please note that LiPo batteries operate better at lower temperatures.
 r o w
e row menu contains the distance in meters that the beam light is emitting.
Lumens
e Lumens menu shows the total amount of light emitted in lumens. Additionally, the Lumens menu graph-
ically shows what percentage of maximum light output is being emitted from each set of LEDs’ (beam, ood,
lantern).

Changing Your Battery
1. Before changing your Luxor battery, always make sure that there is no moisture present on or around
your Luxor unit.
2. Unscrew the tail cap seal and remove the tail cap.
3. Disconnect the battery connec-
tor and remove the battery.
4. Slide your new Luxor battery
into the battery compartment
and connect the battery.
NOTE: Be sure that your bat-
tery connector is inserted with
the correct orientation.
5. Place the tail cap back into
position, making sure that it is
correctly oriented by aligning
the micro USB opening with
the micro USB port.
6. While applying pressure on the
tail cap, screw the tail cap seal
back on. Be sure that the tail
cap seal is completely screwed
onto the body of your Luxor.
NOTE: If your Luxor will
not charge aer replacing the
battery, conrm that the tail cap is aligned properly and the tail cap
seal is completely screwed onto the body of your Luxor. If the tail
cap is misaligned or the tail cap seal is not screwed on completely,
your micro USB cable will be unable to be inserted completely, preventing your Luxor from registering a
charge.
Charging Your Luxor
1. Insert the USB Male A end of your charging
cable into a USB power source.
2. Unscrew the tail cap seal and remove the tail
cap.
3. Connect the Micro USB end of your
charging cable into Luxor’s Micro USB port.
NOTE: Luxor will still charge if it is o or
locked.

4Product Care and Maintenance
Storage
Battery Use and Safety
Your Luxor is a product of superior design and should be treated with care. e guidelines below will allow you
to enjoy this product for years to come.
Luxor should be stored at room temperature in cool or shaded areas, ideally between 10°C (50°F) to 25°C (77°F).
For long term storage (over 3 months), the voltage should ideally rest between 3.6 V to 3.9 V.
Evidence of physical damage or swelling of Luxor’s battery indicates that there is a dangerous problem with the
battery that could lead to bodily injury, property damage, and product failure. If you believe the battery is dam-
aged or needs to be replaced, contact technical support at www.plxdevices.com for inspection and replacement
information.
Exposure to Heat
Do not operate or store this product in or near a heat source, or under direct sunlight for extended periods of
time. Excessive heat can damage the battery, and may even cause the battery to explode.
Never allow your Luxor battery to overheat at any time. Temperatures exceeding 45°C (113°F) for greater than
one hour can cause damage to the battery and may result in re. Always inspect the battery if it has overheated,
and do not reuse if you suspect it has been damaged in any way.
Exposure to Liquid or Moisture
Avoid exposure of this product to liquid or moisture. Liquids can get into and aect the internal components
of the product, and moisture can lead to corrosion. is may result in product malfunction, re, and/or electric
shock.
Crash Damage
If a battery is damaged or punctured due to external force(s), quickly place the battery in a safe, open area away
from ammable materials for at least 15 minutes.
If a battery leaks electrolyte or gas vapors, do not inhale the leaked material. Leave the area and allow the vapors
to dissipate. Remove spilled liquid with an absorbent cloth and dispose the cloth.
If electrolyte from the damaged battery comes into contact with skin, wash the aected area(s) with soap and
water immediately. If electrolyte comes into contact with your eye(s), ush out with generous amounts of water
for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
A battery that is physically damaged or punctured must be removed from service immediately with special care.
See Crash Damage under the Disposal section for the proper disposal process.

Disposal
Proper disposal of your Luxor battery is an important aspect of product care and safety. To properly
dispose the product, follow your municipal battery disposal guidelines. Visit your local electronics/hardware
store for general instructions on proper disposal of mobile electronic devices with LiPo batteries.
For those in the United States, visit the following government website for more information on proper disposal
procedures:
http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/conserve/materials/ecycling/donate.htm
Be aware that dierent states might have dierent laws regarding proper disposal of electronics and rechargeable
batteries.
Crash Damage
Extreme care must be taken when handling or transporting a damaged battery for disposal. It is best to place the
damaged battery inside a reproof container until it can be properly disposed.
PLX Devices, Inc. DOES NOT recommend disassembling the product and disposing/replacing the battery on
your own accord. Disassembly of the product or battery can be dangerous if improperly handled.

a dierent device, using the same power source. If the other device is not charging, the charging cable or
power source may be the problem.
NOTE: Make sure the power source provides constant voltage and constant current and the charging
cable is designed to charge LiPo batteries. Using an inappropriate charging cable can be dangerous, and
may result in product malfunction and re.
