Changing Lighting Modes
With the flashlight ON, gently half-press the red tactical push button switch (without fully clicking it off) to cycle through the 5 available lighting modes:
- High: Maximum brightness.
- Medium: Moderate brightness for general use.
- Low: Reduced brightness for extended battery life or close-range tasks.
- Strobe: Flashing light for signaling or disorientation.
- SOS: International Morse code signal for emergencies.
Adjusting Focus (Zoom)
To adjust the beam focus, slide the head of the flashlight forward or backward. Sliding it forward will narrow the beam for a concentrated spotlight, while sliding it backward will widen the beam for a broad floodlight.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a thin layer of silicone grease to the O-rings and screw threads to maintain water resistance and smooth operation.
- Battery Care: Replace batteries when the light dims significantly. If using rechargeable batteries, follow the manufacturer's charging instructions.
- Storage: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods.
