Operating Instructions
Power On/Off and Brightness Settings
The flashlight features a single button for power control and cycling through brightness modes.
- To Turn On: Press the power button located on the tail cap once. The flashlight will activate at its highest brightness setting (1000 Lumens).
- To Cycle Brightness: While the flashlight is on, press the power button repeatedly to cycle through the available brightness modes: 1000 Lumens (High) → 500 Lumens (Medium) → 250 Lumens (Low).
- To Turn Off: Press the power button after cycling through all brightness modes, or hold the button down for approximately 2 seconds from any mode.
Adjustable Focus (Zoom Function)
The flashlight features a sliding head for adjusting the beam focus.
- To Zoom In (Narrow Beam): Slide the head of the flashlight forward. This concentrates the light into a tighter, more focused beam for long-distance illumination.
- To Zoom Out (Wide Beam): Slide the head of the flashlight backward. This spreads the light into a wider beam, ideal for illuminating a larger area at closer range.

Special Modes (Strobe and S.O.S.)
The flashlight may include special modes for emergency situations.
- Strobe Light: From the ON position, a quick double-press of the power button may activate the strobe function. Repeat the double-press to return to normal operation or cycle through modes.
- Emergency S.O.S.: From the ON position, a quick triple-press of the power button may activate the S.O.S. signaling mode. Repeat the triple-press to return to normal operation or cycle through modes.
Note: The exact activation sequence for strobe and S.O.S. modes may vary slightly. Refer to the packaging or quick start guide for precise instructions if different from above.
