A2 AVIATOR
Introduction
The A2 Aviator®is fitted with three LEDs (Light
Emitting Diodes) surrounding an incandescent
main lamp. Powered by two 3-volt lithium
batteries, the Aviator features digital current
regulation circuitry and a two-stage switch. The
current regulation circuitry matches the lamp’s
current requirements to the batteries’ output to
achieve a more consistent (even) level of light
output for the useable life of the batteries. The two-
stage switch gives the user a choice of either a low-
output LED or a high-output incandescent beam
from a single switch. The Aviator is available in
four LED colors: White (WH), Blue (BL), Green
(GN), and Red (RD).
Light Activation
Depress the tailcap pushbutton switch for
momentary activation. Depressing switch halfway
activates the low-output LEDs. Depress
pushbutton completely to activate high-output
incandescent lamp: the light will stay on as long as
the pushbutton is depressed. Note: If light fails to
function, the tailcap may be in the lock-out
position. Rotate the tailcap clockwise until the light
can be momentarily activated.
For constant light rotate the tailcap clockwise until
the LEDs activate, continue rotating to activate
high-output beam. Note: The Aviator is a high-
output lighting device and should not be left on
unattended. External surface temperature will rise
during prolonged operation; this is a normal
operating phenomenon.
OPERATION
Lock-out Tailcap (U.S. Patent Number 6,222,138)
The lock-out position disables the tailcap
pushbutton switch and is suggested to avoid
accidental light activation during storage. From the
momentary-on position, rotate the tailcap
approximately one and one half turns counter-
clockwise to lock the light in the OFF position.
Battery Replacement
Unscrew the tailcap and insert new batteries with
positive ends toward LED assembly. Replace
tailcap and rotate clockwise to the momentary-on
position. Depress tailcap pushbutton switch to test.
WARNING: Lithium batteries can explode or
cause burns if disassembled, shorted, recharged or
exposed to fire or high temperatures. Do not mix
with used batteries or other battery types, or put in
backwards.
Maintenance
Twice yearly (or more frequently depending on
usage) clean and lubricate threads with a clean
cloth and apply thin coat of silicon-based lubricant
to rubber O-rings. Note: DO NOT use petroleum-
based lubricant on SureFire O-rings. After
prolonged exposure to moisture, the bezel, lamp,
and batteries should be removed, inspected, and
dried if necessary.
Caution
Make sure the Lamp is off before storage to
prevent damage caused from overheating the
Lamp or nearby objects.

Output & Runtime
Accurately specifying light output (lumens) and
runtime is more complicated for LED flashlights
than it is for tungsten lamp flashlights.
What can be said, in simple terms at this time, is
that the light output of the A2 exceeds the 60
lumen output of comparable SureFire tungsten
lamp flashlights (6P, C2, E2e, etc.), and runtime is
longer than the one hour specified for these
tungsten lamp flashlights.
