5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Power On/Off and Mode Selection
The flashlight features 4 lighting modes and a stepless dimming function.
- Power On: Press the power button once to turn on the flashlight. It will typically start in High mode.
- Cycle Modes: With the flashlight on, press the power button repeatedly to cycle through the modes: High → Medium → Strobe → SOS.
- Power Off: If the flashlight has been in any mode for more than 5 seconds, a single press of the power button will turn it off directly. Otherwise, cycle through modes until it turns off or press and hold for 3 seconds (see Stepless Dimming).

5.2. Stepless Dimming
To adjust brightness continuously:
- With the flashlight on, press and hold the power button for approximately 3 seconds. The brightness will begin to cycle from 100% down to 5% and then back up to 100%.
- Release the button when the desired brightness level is reached.
- The flashlight has a memory function for the stepless dimming mode; it will turn on at the last set brightness if turned off by holding the button.

5.3. Zoom Function
The flashlight features a zoomable head to adjust the beam from a wide floodlight to a focused spotlight.
- To zoom in (spotlight), gently push the head of the flashlight forward. This concentrates the beam for long-distance illumination (up to 1000m).
- To zoom out (floodlight), gently pull the head of the flashlight backward. This widens the beam for illuminating a larger area (e.g., 200 square meters).

- Remember to close the rubber flap after use to protect the ports from dust and water.
5.5. Magnetic Base
The flashlight features a powerful magnetic base for hands-free operation.
- Attach the magnetic base to any ferrous metal surface (e.g., car hood, metal cabinet, electrical panel).
- This allows you to direct light while keeping both hands free for tasks like repairs or inspections.
