Operating Instructions

Battery installation

TM36: Screw on the NBP52 battery pack as illustrated.
TM36 Lite:
Install 4 x 18650 Li-ion or 8 x (R) CR123 batteries with the positive ends (+)
pointing outward and tighten the tube. In emergency situations, between one to
three 18650 Li-ion batteries or between two to six (R) CR123 batteries may be
used. Please see note 1 in the WARNING section below.
WARNING
1. Using less than 4 x 18650 or 8 x (R) CR123 batteries might trigger the
overload protection circuit in Li-ion batteries, lead to explosion of (R) CR123
batteries or turbo mode malfunctioning. As such Nitecore recommends this
feature is used with caution and only when necessary.
2. Insert batteries with the positive (+) ends pointing outward.
3. Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
4. Do not mix batteries of different types/brands.
5. Do not mix batteries of different charge levels.
6. Please ensure that all 18650 batteries used in the TM36 Lite have a button
top configuration.
OLED Display
1. After tightening the battery pack or loading batteries, "NITECORE" will be
displayed on the OLED screen for 2.5 seconds followed by a 4-second display
of battery voltage (accurate to 0.01V) after which the TM36/TM36 Lite will enter
standby mode.
2. When the TM36/TM36 Lite is turned on, the OLED display will activate
automatically and show output lumen, brightness level, battery voltage, battery
status, remaining runtime and temperature. After displaying these readings, the
OLED display will be off automatically. To reactivate the OLED, simply press
the display switch. To cycle through the readings, press the display button
repeatedly.
