Your Performance Tool W2446 flashlight requires three (3) D-cell batteries for operation. Batteries are included in the package.

1. Unscrew the Tail Cap: Hold the flashlight firmly and twist the tail cap (the end opposite the light head) counter-clockwise until it detaches.
2. Insert Batteries: Insert three D-cell batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring the positive (+) end of each battery faces towards the flashlight head. Follow the polarity markings inside the battery tube if available.
3. Replace Tail Cap: Carefully screw the tail cap back onto the flashlight body by twisting it clockwise until it is securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
4. Test: Press the power button to ensure the flashlight turns on.

Operating Instructions

The Performance Tool W2446 flashlight features a single power button located on the side of the body, which controls both power and mode selection.

Power On/Off

• To turn the flashlight ON, press the power button once.
• To turn the flashlight OFF, press and hold the power button for approximately 1-2 seconds, or cycle through all modes until the light turns off.

Output Modes

The flashlight offers 5 distinct output modes. To cycle through these modes, quickly press the power button repeatedly while the flashlight is on.

1. High: Provides maximum brightness (200 lumens) for powerful illumination.
2. Medium: A balanced brightness level for general use, conserving battery life.
3. Low: Lowest brightness setting, ideal for close-up tasks or extended runtimes.
4. Strobe: A rapid flashing light, useful for signaling or disorienting.
5. S.O.S.: Flashes the international Morse code signal for distress (three short, three long, three short flashes).

The flashlight will typically remember the last used mode when turned off and on again, but this may vary. If not, it will default to the first mode (High).

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the light dims significantly or fails to turn on. Refer to the "Setup: Battery Installation" section for instructions.
• Storage: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period (more than a month), remove the batteries to prevent leakage and corrosion.
