4. Depress the rail clamp tension bolt to open the rail clamp, rotate the TLR into place and release the
pressure on the tension bolt to "snap" the light in place.
5. Check for fit and tighten rail clamp tension bolt until the TLR is securely attached to the firearm.
NOTE: A coin should be used to obtain sufficient tightness. Tighten only "finger tight".
BATTERY INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
FOR SAFETY PURPOSES THE TLR MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE FIREARM BEFORE THE BATTERY
COMPARTMENT IS OPENED OR CLOSED.
At the end of battery life, the switch may appear intermittent or non-functional. Replacing the battery will
restore normal operation.
1. Unscrew and remove the facecap assembly from the body of the TLR. Remove the exhausted battery from
the flashlight body.
2. Insert two fresh CR123A batteries, positive end first, into the body of the TLR. Battery polarity is indicated
on the side of the TLR body.
3. Place the facecap assembly onto the TLR body. Fully tighten the facecap assembly to ensure that the
battery makes complete contact with the internal electrical contacts.
4. For "safe" mode, loosen the facecap approximately ¼ turn to the detent. The light/laser will not turn on
when either button is pressed and the battery is disconnected.
SWITCH OPERATION
The TLR-9™ features ambidextrous rear switches for momentary or constant activation.
• A tap on either switch turns the unit "on" or "off".
• Press and hold switch for momentary activation of the unit.
• NOTE: The TLR will not operate if the facecap is in "safe" mode.
Rear Switch Options
The TLR-9™ has two versions of tail switch available, depending on user grip preference. The LO tail switch
presents the rear switch lower on either side of the trigger guard while the HI tail switch presents the rear
switch higher up on either side of the trigger guard. The LO and HI tail switches are interchangeable by
removing the tail screws using a 5/64" hex wrench. Ensure both actuators are in place on the tail switch before
installation (see Tail Switch Actuator view below).
TLR-9™ HI tail switch
Strobe Enable/Disable
The TLR-9™ 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 TLR-9™ strobe mode can be activated by either switch. Within ¼ second, press either switch, release and
immediately re-press for strobe.
MAINTENANCE
The TLR rail clamp tension bolt requires an application of high quality gun oil to keep it rust free. Use a soft
cloth and mild detergent to clean the glass LED lens and keep it free of dirt and grime.
