Soft-Reset – fix an unresponsive state or part of a higher level reset. If your light is
working normally, turn your light on and unscrew the battery case until the light goes
out, count to three and then screw the battery case back together. If your light is in an
unresponsive state, remove the batteries for 2 minutes and then reinstall them.
Identified by 1 second of dim light. Does not change your settings.
Battery-Detect-Reset – required to detect battery configuration changes. Perform a
soft-reset but while the dim light is on, press and hold the button for 5 seconds until
your light dims. Release the button when your light dims. Identified by 5 seconds of
bright light followed by dim light. Does not change your settings.
If you release the button during the brighter period, your light displays the error flash
sequence consisting of 6 rapid flashes and your light will not detect the battery
configuration.
If there is insufficient power to run your light at full power there is also insufficient
power to safely remember the detected battery configuration. When there is insufficient
power to remember the detected battery configuration, you will see two seconds of very
rapid flashing. This also indicates that the battery configuration has not been properly
detected and damage may occur to rechargeable batteries. Only fully charged
rechargeable battery configurations can be properly detected.
Factory-Reset - restores your light to factory settings, including disabling Tactical
Momentary, enabling brightness level ramping, enabling the Option menu and
detecting the type of batteries installed. Perform a soft-reset but while the dim light is
on, press and hold the button for 10 seconds until your light turns off. Identified by 5
seconds of bright light, 3 seconds of dim light and 2 more seconds of bright light. The
settings are now restored to the factory defaults.
If you release the button during either of the brighter periods, your light displays the
error flash sequence consisting of 6 rapid flashes and your light will not modify the
settings.
If there is insufficient power to run your light at full power there is also insufficient
power to safely remember the factory settings. When there is insufficient power to
remember the factory settings, you will see two seconds of very rapid flashing. Your
light’s features will be returned to their default state but the change will be forgotten
the next time you change the batteries or do a soft reset.
Low Battery Indication
As your batteries are used up, the batteries will not be able to supply enough power to
run your light at the selected brightness. As a result, your light will blink down to 50%
of the previous brightness, repeating as needed as the batteries are used up. That is,
your light will momentarily turn off and then back on to a brightness level that is half of
the previous brightness level. When the lowest brightness level is reached, your light
will blink continuously until the batteries can no longer power your light. You should
replace your light's batteries before the lowest brightness level is reached.
