SWITCH OPERATION
The TLR sub models feature ambidextrous rear switches. All models provide momentary or constant activation.
• A tap on either switch turns the unit "on" or "off".
• Press and hold either switch for momentary activation of the unit.
• To cycle through the available modes (TLR-8
switch and tap the other switch until the desired mode is reached. The selected mode will be saved when the
unit is turned "off".
• NOTE: The TLR will not operate if the facecap is in "safe" mode.

The LOW switch set presents the rear switches lower on either side of the trigger guard while the HIGH switch
set presents the rear switch higher up on either side of the trigger guard. The LOW and HIGH tail switches are
interchangeable by using the push pin feature on the multi-tool to press the retaining pin clear of the paddle on
one side and then the other. See the switch removal and replacement views below.
Switch Removal
Strobe Enable/Disable
The TLR ships from the factory with the strobe mode disabled. To enable strobe, starting from the "Off" position,
tap either switch very rapidly 9 times (within ¼ second per tap) and hold down on the 10th time. Hold the switch
until the light turns off (about one second) which indicates reprogramming was successful. Repeat the procedure
above to disable strobe mode.
Strobe Operation
The strobe mode can be activated by either switch. Within ¼ second, press either switch, release and immediately
re-press for strobe.
LASER SIGHT ZEROING
For a laser mounted below or to the side of the bore, there is only one distance where the bullet path will coincide
with the laser sight line. This point is the "zero range". Laser adjustment and the muzzle velocity of the bullet
determine where this point occurs. The user must decide how high above or below the sight line the bullet can be
allowed to strike and adjust the sight accordingly. At distances less than the zero range the bullet will be above the
sight line. Beyond the zero range the bullet will be below the sight line. If mounted to the side, the bullet will also
deviate to the side of the laser line, as well as up and down. In practice, a TLR on a handgun can be adjusted to
keep the bullet strike within about 2" high and 2" low out to about 100 feet.
There are two adjustment screws located on the left side of the flashlight body. The windage adjustment is located
closest to the bottom of the flashlight. Turn the set screw clockwise to move the laser to the left (POI right). Turn
the set screw counterclockwise to move the laser to the right (POI left). The elevation adjustment is located higher
up on the flashlight body. With the TLR pointed down range a clockwise turn of the adjustment screw will move the
sub models only; Light, Laser, Light/Laser), press and hold one
