AVIATOR SPECIFICATIONS
LOCKOUT TAILCAP
The Aviator features a lockout tailcap, which prevents accidental
activation during storage or transport. The tailcap may need to be
enabled prior to light operation.
To enable, rotate tailcap clockwise until light activates when tailcap
pushbutton is pressed, providing momentary-on light output.
To lock out tailcap, rotate counterclockwise until light will not
activate when pushbutton is depressed.
LIGHT OPERATION
NOTE: Unit is shipped in the “OFF” position to prevent activation
of the light.
1. To select white (WH) light LED, rotate knurled portion of the bezel
clockwise (with bezel pointed away from you) until indicator dot
aligns with WH and the head clicks in to position (Fig. 1).
2. To select colored LED, rotate knurled portion of the bezel counter
clockwise (with bezel pointed away from you) until indicator dot
aligns with the color engraving and the head clicks in to position (Fig. 2).
Light Activation
Press or click pushbutton tailcap switch once for low output. Return
to off and press or click on again, within two seconds, for high output.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Most SureFire illumination tools ship preloaded with batteries. To load
or replace batteries:
1. Unscrew head and remove.
2. Remove old batteries and dispose of properly.
3. Insert new battery with positive (+) terminals oriented forward.
4. Replace head and screw on until hand tight.
MAINTENANCE
Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe off body and window. Periodically clean
and lubricate threads. Apply a thin coat of non-migrating, silicon-based
lubricant to O-rings (do not use petroleum-based lubricants which
can harm O-rings). For additional tips on maintaining your SureFire
illumination tool, visit www.surefire.com/faqs-maintenance.
