click  the  button  at  any  time  during  the  sequence  to  return  your 
flashlight  to  the  original  brightness  level  and  to  reset  the  Automatic 
Turn Off timer for another 10 minutes. 

Option Menu Item #3 
Locator Flash – <dim flash> 

The Locator Flash feature allows your flashlight to emit a short flash of 
dim  light  every  three  seconds  when  turned  off.    The  periodic  short 
flash  makes  it  easier  to  find  your  flashlight  in  the  dark.    Enabling  the 
Locator Flash turns on the Locator Flash following a reset.  Disabling 
the Locator Flash turns off the Locator Flash following a reset. 

The Locator Flash may be toggled on and off using a quad-click when 
your flashlight is turned off. 

Option Menu Item #4 
Pseudo Momentary – <long flash, short flash> 

The  Pseudo  Momentary  feature  allows  your  flashlight  to  differentiate 
between  a  click  and  a  press  and  hold  when  your  flashlight  is  turned 
off.    A  press  and  hold  from  off  will  act  in  a  momentary  fashion  when 
Pseudo  Momentary  is  enabled  –  i.e.,  turning  off  your  flashlight  when 
the  button  is  released.    A  press  and  hold  from  off  acts  like  a  click  – 
i.e.,  your  flashlight  remains  on  –  when  the  button  is  released  when 
Pseudo Momentary is disabled. 

Option Menu Item #5 
Burst – <brighter-dimmer> 

The Burst feature allows you to control the behavior of the maximum 
level to conserve power and extend runtimes.  Your flashlight will drop 
by  one  level  40  seconds  after  the  button  has  been  released  when 
Burst  is  enabled.  Maximum  always  stays  at  full  power  for  as  long  as 
the button is held down. 

Note

: the runtime on the maximum level will be reduced to roughly 30 

minutes  when  Burst  is  disabled.    You  will  also  notice  that  your 
flashlight  becomes  quite  warm  on  the  maximum  setting  and  may 
automatically reduce power due to thermal limiting.  This is normal.
