Adjusting the Beam (PURE BEAM SLIDE FOCUS)
The XP9R utilizes COAST's patented PURE BEAM SLIDE FOCUS system, allowing you to adjust the beam from a wide flood to a focused spot.
- Adjust Focus: Gently push or pull the flashlight head forward or backward to transition between the Ultra View Flood Beam and the BULLS-EYE Spot Beam.
- Flood Beam: Pull the head back for a broad, even light distribution, ideal for illuminating a large area.
- Spot Beam: Push the head forward for a concentrated beam, suitable for long-range illumination.

Beam Lock Feature
The XP9R includes a Beam Lock feature to secure your desired focus position.
- Once you have adjusted the beam to your preferred spot or flood setting, rotate the flashlight head slightly to engage the Beam Lock. This prevents accidental changes to the focus during use or transport.
- To unlock, rotate the flashlight head in the opposite direction.
