5.1. Power On/Off and Mode Selection
The flashlight features a single button located on the end cap to cycle through its functions:
- First Press: Activates the main LED beam.
- Second Press: Switches to the white side work light.
- Third Press: Switches to the red side signal light.
- Fourth Press: Turns the flashlight off.
- Quick Off: To turn off the flashlight from any mode, press and hold the button for approximately 2 seconds.

5.2. Focus Adjustment
To adjust the focus of the main LED beam, simply slide the head of the flashlight forward or backward. Sliding it forward narrows the beam for a focused spot, while sliding it backward widens the beam for a broad floodlight.
6. Maintenance

- Battery Care: Always replace all three AAA batteries simultaneously with new, identical batteries. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
- Storage: If the flashlight will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent potential leakage and damage. Store in a cool, dry place.
