I just bought this 2015 version and can't figure out where the supposed power indicator is located. The side switch has no lights in it. What's up?

The voltage meter is a blue LED behind the mode switch. It flashes to indicate the volts and tenths of a volt. See this video for more information on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvA2Gr_xeBY

The three points in the "Power Tips" section of the P12's user manual explain its different indicator modes. In case you didn't receive a printed one-page manual (one side in English, the other in Chinese), obtain it from http://flashlight.nitecore.com/download at your convenience.

There's no "power indicator" on mine. The on/off button on the end, and the brightness "mode" switch are the only two controls. Pushing the mode switch repeatedly switches the intensity from dimmest to brightest and back again, once the light has been turned on. Beyond that I don't know what you're asking.

The indicator light is embedded in the switch and is literally invisible unless lit. With the P12 turned off - hold the side switch down and then turn the power on by pressing the bottom switch. Release the switches and the indicator light should then signal the current voltage. Refer to the user manual for the deciphering the blinks of the indicator light. The side switch will blink continuously when the light is turned on if the battery power is really low. Hope this was helpful.

To be honest, I didn't know there was a power indicator! I know that some of the other nitecore lights have an indicator light built into these switch and it blinks red to indicate the power setting and mode. Honestly, I prefer it without that feature because it drains the battery and also, depending on where you carry it and the purpose you carry it, it can be a give away if your trying to be stealthy.

On mine, the side switch will only glow when power is reduced and you will need to recharge soon.

Not sure where it is showing lo and under what conditions, without digging up the manual and going thru it my initial guess would be lo is Low Battery. Try changing them and see if it goes away.

It wasn't noted when I bought it, but found out AFTER I got it that it was a refurbished unit. That thing was a piece of crap that was pretty much DOA and wouldn't even power up after a couple days. Good Luck!

As you are looking at the screen, in the top right hand corner, there should be a power button/power indicator. Press that button to power the system on.

Usually by going to control panel and then display. Could also be a function your power saver mode sometimes reducing the brightness to save power. Jon A

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

Mine does that the LED power meter, though it doesn't appear to light up at all. As the other person responded, is better to have the power meter icon in your system tray in lower right corner, easier to read, more informative, etc.

If you go into advanced power settings you can turn off adaptive brightness. That fixed this issue for me. Go to Control Panel &gt; Hardware and Sound &gt; Power Options, then click on "Change plan settings" next to your active power plan. Click on "Change advanced power settings." Scroll down to Display, then under Enable adaptive brightness, switch it off for both the battery and plugged in modes.

The indicator light seems to have a slight delay when all connected. It does not light when put into the power outlet alone. Be sure it is securely plugged into the cord that goes to the battery. Make sure that the cord is well connected to the battery as that connection is sometimes "stiff", but positive when it makes the connection. If, after all of this, the indicator light does not go on then suspect the charger or the battery. I would bet on the battery as there is not much to wear out on the charger. I had to buy them in this order when we were given our powerwheel. It has worked well for several months since then. The indicator light seems to have a slight delay when all connected.

Hold the power switch to off for 15 seconds. When releasing the switch you should see it power on. Mine did this and this process fixed it. Had mine for over a year, no other problems and it's surviving Afghanistan and all the dirt just fine.

Yes, I am having problems. It was working fine but today I unplugged it and plugged it in another place and it doesn't work. Went back tot the original plug and it doesn't work anywhere. The Screen shows the word POWER, but there is none. I cannot find a "do this if this" item in the manual so I have no choice but to return it. I liked the previous Sangeans (PR-D5) I bought. This was a up step but I am very disappointed.
