Operating Instructions

Multifunctional OLED Display

The TUP is equipped with a multifunctional OLED display. (Please remove the screen protector before the first use.) When the light is turned on, the screen will successively show the current info (Brightness Level & Lumens, Runtime Remaining, User Mode) before it goes out. After the screen goes out, short pressing the Mode Button can reactivate the screen.

Display Demonstration Function

• This function is used for demonstration ONLY. It does not reflect the actual light status.
• When the light is off, press and hold the power button even after the light accesses ULTRALOW until the light is turned off to enter the display demonstration.
• In this status, the screen will cycle through various informational displays. Short press either button to exit this status.

On / Off

On: When the light is off, short press the Power Button to turn it on.

Off: When the light is on, short press the Power Button to turn it off.

User Modes

TUP has 2 user modes, DEMO Mode and DAILY Mode.

• DEMO Mode: The light will automatically shut down if there is no operation in 30 seconds (reactivating the screen excluded). The countdown will be displayed on the screen.
• DAILY Mode: The light will not automatically shut down and will need to be shut down manually.

Note: The default setting is DEMO Mode. It is recommended to switch it to DAILY Mode when in daily use.

Mode Switching

When the light is on/off, long press both the Power Button and the Mode Button simultaneously to switch between DEMO and DAILY Mode. The LED will flash to indicate the current user mode: 1 flash to indicate DEMO Mode and 2 flashes to indicate DAILY Mode. (In this process, the screen will show “DEMO” or “DAILY” to indicate the current user mode.)

Note: Reactivating the light within 3 seconds after it automatically shuts down in DEMO mode will temporarily access DAILY Mode until it is turned off.

Brightness Levels

When the light and the screen is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through “ULTRALOW – LOW – MID - HIGH”. The flashlight will directly access the previously memorized brightness level when reactivated.

Note: When the screen is off, short press the Mode Button to activate the screen before adjusting the brightness level.

Direct Access to ULTRALOW

When the light is off, long press the Power Button to directly access ULTRALOW.

Direct Access to TURBO

When the light is on/off, press and hold the Mode Button to access TURBO. Release to return to previous status.

Lockout / Unlock

TUP has two lockout modes (Half Lockout Mode and Full Lockout Mode).

Half Lockout Mode (Lockout 1):

• When the light is on, press and hold the Power Button until the screen shows the Lockout 1 icon to access Half Lockout Mode.
• When in Half Lockout Mode, the Power Button is unavailable to activate the flashlight. Holding the Mode Button is still available for accessing TURBO.

Full Lockout Mode (Lockout 2):

• When the light is on, press and hold the Power Button even after accessing Half Lockout Mode, until the screen shows Lockout 2 icon to access Full Lockout Mode.
• When in Full Lockout Mode, both buttons are unavailable to activate the flashlight.

Unlock:

• In either Lockout Mode, short press and then long press the Power Button, during which the screen will show an unlock icon and a progress bar, until the flashlight is activated to exit Lockout Mode. The light will access the previous memorized level.
• The light will be automatically unlocked when being recharged in either Lockout Mode.

ATR (Advanced Temperature Regulation)

Integrated ATR technology regulates the output of TUP according to the working condition and ambient environment, thus maintaining the optimal performance.

Power Indication

When the light is off, short press the Mode Button to display the battery level, the battery voltage, the memorized brightness level and the current user mode before it goes out. Different voltages represent the corresponding remaining battery power levels:

• 3.5V: Low power
• 3.7V
• 3.9V
• 4.2V: Full power

Note: When the battery voltage is below 3.4V, the power indicator beneath both buttons will flash blue every 2 seconds to inform the user to recharge the battery as soon as possible.

Charging Function

TUP is equipped with an intelligent charging system. Please charge the battery before the first use.

Connecting to the External Power: As illustrated, use the USB cable to connect an external power supply (e.g. a USB adaptor, a computer or other USB charging devices) to the Micro-USB port to begin the charging process. The charging time is approx. 3.5 hours.

Charging Indicator: When the charging status is normal, the charging indicator will flash slowly to inform the user and the screen will show the current battery level. When the battery is fully charged, the charging indicator will become steadily turned on to inform the user and the screen will display a full battery level.

Cautions

• The TURBO Brightness Level of 1,000 lumens will produce massive heat rapidly during long-time activation. Use caution when operating the light in TURBO mode to avoid overheating and step down to a lower level if the light becomes too hot to handle
• CAUTION! Possible dangerous radiation! Don't look into the light! Maybe dangerous for your eyes.
• Please recharge the product every 3 months when left unused for a prolonged time.
• The product contains small assembly parts. Please keep it away from children to avoid danger of choking or suffocation.
• When the flashlight is kept in the backpack, please activate the Lockout Mode to prevent accidental activation.
• DO NOT disassemble, modify or reconstruct the product, otherwise the warranty will be nullified, and the product might be damaged.
