• Mode Switching: To cycle through the 5 lighting modes (High, Medium, Low, Strobe, SOS), gently press the red power button. The flashlight will switch to the next mode with quick successive presses. If the flashlight is off for more than 10 seconds, it will reset to the highest mode upon being turned back on.

• Safety Warnings:
  • Avoid staring directly into the light beam or shining it into anyone's eyes to prevent eye injury.
  • The flashlight may become warm or hot during extended use at the highest setting; selecting a lower setting is recommended when it's hot. This is normal for high-powered flashlights.
  • For lithium-ion batteries, use only 18650 cells with a protection circuit from reputable manufacturers (Panasonic, Sanyo, Sony, Samsung, LG) to prevent fire, explosion, and burn hazards. Remove the battery when the flashlight is not in use.
