Your flashlight restricts the output to the highest brightness level the
battery can maintain. However, if you turn off your flashlight and turn
it back on again to a higher level, your flashlight will slowly step up
through the brightness levels testing the battery again.
Your flashlight will blink slowly once a second on the lowest brightness
level when the battery is no longer capable of powering any of the
steady brightness levels.
Caution:
your flashlight will eventually turn itself off to preserve what
little battery power remains if you continue to use your flashlight after
your flashlight begins blinking once a second on the lowest brightness
level. You may turn on your flashlight again when needed for a short
period. This behavior maintains your options in an emergency.
4. Installing a New Battery
Unscrew the battery compartment from the head and remove the old
battery from the battery compartment. Insert the new battery into the
battery compartment with the positive terminal out. Align the head
and battery compartment, press them together to overcome the spring
pressure and screw the battery compartment and head back together.
As you screw the battery compartment and head back together and if
the battery compartment has been removed for an extended period,
your flashlight comes on dimly for 7 seconds following a battery
change to indicate that a reset has taken place and that your flashlight
is functioning correctly. If you change the battery quickly enough, your
flashlight will not reset and no reset indication will be displayed. A
reset does not change any of your flashlight’s settings.
No special actions are needed to use rechargeable Lithium-ion
batteries. Your flashlight detects them automatically.
However, if you have been using rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries
and want to return to using regular (non-rechargeable) batteries, you
must perform a reset. The simplest way to perform a reset is to turn
on your flashlight and open the battery compartment until your
flashlight turns off and then replace the battery compartment. If you
fail to perform a reset when returning to using non-rechargeable
batteries, your flashlight will act as if the new non-rechargeable battery
needs replacing – just do a reset to restore normal operation.
