Operating Instructions
Power On/Off and Light Modes
The HP7 features a Quick-Cycle™ Switch System for easy operation:
- Press the tailcap button once to turn the flashlight ON in High mode.
- Press the button again (within a short interval) to cycle to Low mode.
- Press the button a third time to turn the flashlight OFF.

Pure Beam Focusing System with Slide Focus and Beam Lock
The patented Pure Beam Focusing Optic allows you to transition between a wide flood beam and a focused spot beam.
- Slide Focus: To adjust the beam, simply push or pull the head of the flashlight with your thumb. Pushing forward creates a focused Bulls-Eye Spot Beam, while pulling back creates an Ultra View Flood Beam.
- Beam Lock: Once you have achieved your desired beam focus, you can lock it in place by rotating the head of the flashlight. This prevents accidental changes to the beam pattern during use.
