Using the flashlight

From manufacture, there may be an insulating cap inside the flashlight on the battery. Remove it from the battery before first use.

To turn on or off, hold the side button for approximately 0.5 seconds. The flashlight will always turn on in the last selected mode with the exception of the highest mode and strobe. You can switch power modes at any time during operation by pressing the side button. The strobe can be activated by holding the button for 1.2 seconds. The control button can be locked to prevent it from switching on spontaneously, e.g. when transporting in luggage - press the control button two times quickly (within 0.5 seconds). To unlock, press the button again two times quickly. Accidental switching on can also be prevented by loosening the body of the flashlight.

The 1 lumen light around the switch button can be illuminated by pressing the button three times quickly with the flashlight off. A subsequent press of the button switches between four functions – red light -> green light -> red pulsing -> green pulsing.

Overheat protection - if the temperature exceeds 60 °C, the power will be automatically reduced. Once the temperature drops below 60°C, the highest power modes can be used again.

Charging - flip off the dust cap and plug the USB-C charging cable into the flashlight's charging port. When charging is complete, reseal the dust cap. Normal charging time is 3 hours with a 5V/2A USB power supply for a fully discharged flashlight. During charging, the flashlight can be used in the 5 and 50 lumen modes. During charging, the indicator LED in the button is red. When fully charged, it will light up green.

Battery charge indication - if the indicator LED is green, the battery is more than 85% charged. Green flashing indicates 50-85% capacity. If the LED is red, the battery is 25-50% charged. Red flashing indicates less than 25% capacity remaining. Note: This feature is only active when using 18650 batteries.

Discharged battery warning - if the voltage drops below the set level the flashlight will reduce the brightness to a lower level until it reaches 5 lumens. When the lowest power level is reached, the LED indicator in the button will start flashing red to remind you to recharge or replace the battery. This feature is only active when using 18650 batteries.
