6.1. Power On/Off and Mode Selection

• To Turn On: Press the power button once. The torch will illuminate in its last used mode or default to high brightness.
• To Change Modes: While the torch is on, press the power button repeatedly to cycle through available brightness modes (e.g., High, Medium, Low, Strobe, SOS).
• To Turn Off: Press and hold the power button for approximately 2 seconds, or cycle through all modes until the light turns off.

6.2. Adjusting Spot to Flood Beam

The Magneto DBK261 features an adjustable beam for both spot and flood lighting.

• For Spot Beam: Extend the torch head forward (away from the body) to focus the light into a narrow, long-distance beam. This provides a 400m beam range on the brightest setting.
• For Flood Beam: Retract the torch head backward (towards the body) to widen the light into a broad, area-illuminating beam.
