Caution: the disorienting strobe can induce seizures in some individuals so it should be
used with caution.
To change the brightness level of the current setting, turn your light on and then click-
click-press (2 clicks and a press) the button to ramp to a new brightness level. Repeat
the click-click-press to reverse the ramp direction. Release the button when the desired
brightness level is reached. When the ramp gets to the brightest or dimmest level, it
will double-blink at that level and pause for two (2) seconds before moving to the signal
levels. Each signal level will be displayed for 4 seconds before moving to the next level.
The brightness ramp is circular – i.e., the highest brightness setting is followed by the
disorienting strobe while SOS is followed by the lowest brightness level and vice versa.
When you have selected the desired brightness level, release the button. To remember
the new brightness level, turn off the light. If you select a different brightness setting
before you turn your light off, the change to the previous brightness setting is forgotten.
If there is insufficient power to run your light at full power there is also insufficient
power to safely remember the selected brightness level. When there is insufficient
power to remember the selected brightness level, you will see two seconds of very rapid
flashing before your light turns off. The setting will be as you set it but the change will
be forgotten the next time you change the batteries or do a soft reset.
Option Menu
The Option menu is used to turn on and off optional features in your light. Each option
will be covered separately, but the basics of turning an option on and off is common to
all options.
To enter the Option menu, turn your light on and then click-click-click-press (3 clicks
and a press) the button. Now release the button. You will see the identification flash
for the first menu item.
Each option has a unique identification flash and a known position in the menu. When
you enter the Option menu, you always enter at the first menu item. Click the button
once to move to the next menu item. Double-click to reverse direction and move to the
previous menu item. The menu wraps around from the last item to the first item and
vice versa.
When you have selected the desired menu item, press and hold the button for two (2)
seconds until your light turns off. If you are enabling the option, your light will display
an increasing brightness sequence. If you are disabling the option, your light will
display a decreasing brightness sequence.
If you do not touch the button for 10 seconds, if you enter an unknown menu command
or if you do not hold the button down until the light turns off, your light exits the
Option menu without changing the option setting and displays the error flash sequence
consisting of 6 rapid flashes.
