ZEROHOUR RELIC XR User manual

ZEROHOUR RELIC XR USER GUIDE
GETTING STARTED
ZEROHOUR RELIC XR is a compact USB rechargeable tactical flashlight with variable control ring, tail-cap
switch, and waterproof battery backup all-in-one. Our first project, ZEROHOUR XD, set new standards
for flashlights by offering the ultimate integration of light and power, and on that foundation we’ve built
a new device that is smaller and lighter yet gives you even more control.
Now, let’s get started!
BEFORE POWERING ON YOUR FLASHLIGHT, make sure the tail-cap is tightened fully by tightening
clockwise. The tail-cap is purposely loosened to prevent battery discharge while at rest inside the retail
package.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND IN THIS BOX

ZeroHour Relic XR Flashlight
Relic XR is the world’s most versatile and compact USB battery backup flashlight. Use it as a high
powered tactical flashlight and charge your USB mobile devices at the same time.
Micro-USB Power Cable
Use the Micro-USB power cable to recharge your XR’s lithium-ion battery. One end plugs into your Relic
XR, and the other end plugs into a USB power adapter of your choice. USE ONLY UL CERTIFIED
ADAPTERS. DO NOT PLUG THE USB CABLE INTO A PORT LABELED “SERVICE”; IT MUST BE LABELED “USB”
OR DISPLAY THIS SYMBOL:
Stainless Steel Strike Bezel
With the stainless steel bezel installed, the Relic XR makes an excellent self-defense tool. The stainless
steel strike bezel can be used to more effectively strike an assailant in an emergency situation.
Stainless Steel Flat Bezel
You can replace the strike bezel with the flat bezel when the self-defense capability is not needed, or when you
are carrying Relic XR for air travel.
18650 Battery
The 18650 battery uses a rechargeable and replaceable lithium-ion cell to power the flashlight. WE
RECOMMEND USING PROTECTED, UL CERTIFIED BATTERIES ONLY.
Microfiber Bag
Use this ultra-soft and durable microfiber bag to carry your Relic XR flashlight and accessories.
Spare Button Switch Cap
Following normal wear and tear, replace the rubber button switch cap to keep your Relic XR operating
effectively.
Spare Silicone O-rings
To maintain Relic XR's waterproof protection, remove and replace the O-rings every 6-9 months (more
frequently if you regularly twist off the flashlight head and tail cap).

ZEROHOUR RELIC XR AT A GLANCE
FLASHLIGHT OPERATION
To Power On: Click the tail-cap power switch. If Relic XR is in stand-by/USB output position, click over to any
illumination position and then power on.
Illumination Modes: Relic XR features a brightness control ring with 5 mode positions and 1 hidden
mode. Start with the control ring in fully counter-clockwise to position 1. Turn slowly clockwise to go to
the next mode:
Position 1: Low/High
Momentarily press the tail-cap switch once for 10 lumens (low
mode). Press twice more within 3 seconds to jump to 1000 lumens
(high mode). Press twice more again within 3 seconds to activate
self-defense strobe (also at 1000 lumens). Fully click the tail-cap
switch in any of these modes to activate constant-on. If you do not
click twice within 3 seconds from any of the modes, the flashlight
timer resets and your next click will be back on the low mode.
Position 2: Stand-by/USB Output
This position is used for the USB output port. You must click the
tail-cap switch to complete the circuit and activate charging.
Hidden Mode: Beacon
In position 2, double click the tail-cap switch to activate our unique
beacon mode.
Position 3: Brightness Control
Variable brightness control allows you to set the flashlight
anywhere between 0 to 1000 lumens by slowly turning clockwise.
Position 4: SOS Strobe
The SOS strobe is an emergency signal at 1000 lumens.
Position 5: Self-defense Strobe
Turning the ring completely clockwise will set the flashlight to self-
defense strobe at 1000 lumens.

To Charge your USB devices: Set the variable control ring to position 2. Untwist the USB cover, locate the
USB output port. Plug in your mobile USB device and charging cable and press on the tail-cap switch to
activate. You can use both 18650 and CR123 batteries to charge your mobile devices.
LED Power Indicator Light: The LED indicator can be used to determine current power remaining. Blue
LED indicates a charge of 100% to 50%, red LED indicates 50% to 25% and a blinking red LED light means
less than 25% remaining. At 10% the Relic XR will turn off completely due to the automatic activation of
over-discharge protection.
Recharging your Relic XR: You can recharge your 18650 batteries through the Micro-USB port using the
supplied Micro-USB power cable. We recommend using a standard 5V 1A USB AC adapter, similar to the
kind that is used to charge your mobile phones. Note: You cannot recharge RCR123 or standard CR123
batteries using this method. Insert the Micro-USB cable and press on the tail-cap switch to complete
the circuit and activate recharging. The blue LED indicator light will blink when charging and stop
blinking when charging is complete. If power is suddenly lost while recharging (e.g. power outage) or
the cable is removed, the flashlight will automatically activate the hidden beacon mode so that you can
locate the flashlight in the dark.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
We recommend that you clean your ZeroHour flashlights regularly.
Wipe the threads and O-rings with a clean, lint-free cloth, and apply a thin coat of non-conduction
silicone or petroleum-based lubrication. When the O-rings show signs of damage or are worn out from
normal wear and tear, replace them and give ZeroHour a new coat of flashlight lubrication.

Clean the internal components such as the battery housing and contact springs with isopropyl alcohol on
cotton swabs.
The flashlight body can be cleaned with soap and water. Remove the battery and/or battery housing
before you clean the flashlight body. Use a cotton or microfiber towel to dry it off.
Do not clean the lens with tissue paper or paper towels as this may scratch the lens. Take care when
cleaning to avoid any kind of moisture on the battery backup ports (e.g. USB ports and charge port).
WARNINGS
Never look directly into the flashlight or at the LED. Even at lower settings, ZeroHour's LED is extremely
bright: at its 1,000-lumen maximum, ZeroHour can temporarily blind and cause eye injuries.
The self-defense strobe can cause seizures. Please use with extreme caution. Use only UL Certified
18650 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The flashlight includes over-discharge and over-charge
protection, so both non-protected and protected batteries may be used safely.
Take great care when disassembling/reassembling the flashlight for maintenance or accessorizing with
different parts. If you do not re-install components tightly, you may compromise ZeroHour's IPX-8
waterproof protection.
If available, please see Waterproof Protection Warning card for further information about maintaining
your flashlight's IPX-8 waterproof rating.
