Operating Instructions

The S1000 flashlight features a dual-button design and multiple lighting modes for various needs.

Power On/Off

• Side Button: Press the side power button to turn the flashlight ON or OFF.
• Tail Button: Press the tail cap button to turn the flashlight ON or OFF. This button often provides momentary on/off functionality with a half-press.

Changing Lighting Modes

The S1000 offers 5 lighting modes: High, Medium, Low, Strobe, and SOS.

• With the flashlight ON, quickly press the side power button repeatedly to cycle through the modes: High → Medium → Low → Strobe → SOS → High.
• Alternatively, with the flashlight ON, lightly tap the tail cap button (without fully clicking) to cycle through the modes. A full click will turn the flashlight off.

Zoom Function

The S1000 features a zoomable beam to adjust between a wide floodlight and a focused spotlight.

• To adjust the beam, simply push or pull the head of the flashlight forward or backward.
• Pulling the head forward will narrow the beam for a focused spotlight.
• Pushing the head backward will widen the beam for a broad floodlight.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your GearLight S1000 flashlight.

• Cleaning: Wipe the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the lens clean for maximum light output.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a thin layer of silicone grease to the O-rings and screw threads (e.g., tail cap threads) to maintain water resistance and smooth operation.
• Storage: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to preserve battery health. Recharge every 3-6 months if not in use.
• Avoid Disassembly: Do not attempt to disassemble the sealed head or other components beyond what is necessary for charging or basic cleaning, as this may void the warranty and damage the flashlight.
