Note: rechargeable batteries must be fully charged before installation.  Never install 
partially charged rechargeable batteries in your light.  Once you have installed fully 
charged batteries, do not open the battery compartment until a replacement set of 
batteries becomes available.

Note: if you insert the batteries backwards in the battery compartment, your light will 
not light.  Remove the batteries and insert them into the battery compartment correctly 
- with the negative end toward the spring.

Using the Single Push Button

Your light has two push buttons which are used to turn your light on and off and to 
access other functions.  A push button is located on either side of the reflector and either 
push button may be used as they both do the same thing.  The following concepts are 
important to understanding the operation of your light:

Click

: a quick push and release of the button.  A click is any push of the button lasting 

less than half a second.

Press

: a long push of the button.  A press is any push lasting more than half a second.

N-click

: a sequence of N clicks.  Double-clicks (2 clicks) and triple-clicks (3 clicks) and 10 

clicks are common.  The time between clicks - that is, when the button is up - must be 
less than half a second. 

N-click-press

: a sequence of N+1 button pushes where the first N are clicks and the last 

is a press. Double-click-presses (two clicks and a press) and 10-click-presses are 
common.  The time between clicks and between the final click and press - that is, when 
the button is up - must be less than half a second.

Note: you must pause between commands to ensure the button pushes from the 
second command are not interpreted as being part of the first command.  The pause 
between commands must be greater than half a second.

Note: if you provide an invalid input sequence, your light tries to handle the error in 
the best manner possible.  Depending on the context, the best (or safest) thing to do is 
to ignore excess or extraneous clicks or exit from a menu without changing any 
settings.
