®
programmable switch allowing the user to select one of three
different programs. To change to the next program, starting from the "Off" position, tap the momentary
function of the switch rapidly 9 times (within 0.4 seconds per tap) and hold it down the 10th time. Continue
holding the switch until the light turns off (approximately 1 second), then release the switch.

High-Medium-Low/strobe disabled.
SAFETY
WARNING - Use of light in "strobe" mode may cause seizure in persons with photosensitive epilepsy.
CAUTION: The Stinger HPL, Stinger DS HPL, Stinger LED HL, Stinger DS LED HL or
UltraStinger LED provides a powerful beam at the high setting. When operated for a long time,
especially if not handheld, it will get uncomfortably warm. This is NORMAL
and is not a defect. Any
LED flashlight of similar size and performance will produce similar amounts of heat during operation.
The only way to reduce operating heat is to SIGNIFICANTLY lower the output, or increase the size of
the flashlight. While this heating may trigger the drop reflex if an unattended hot light is picked up,
the temperature does not present a burn hazard. When used tactically for short periods of time to clear
a room, check for intruders, etc., heating will not be a problem. When using the light for extended
periods of time, use of the low power setting, if the illumination level is appropriate, will prolong battery
life and reduce heat buildup.
A. While eye damage from the Stinger LED Family of lights is unlikely, they are a Class 2 LED product.
