NOTICE
The above data has been measured in accordance with the international
flashlight testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL1 using one x 3.7V 3400mAh
Nitecore 18650 battery and 2 x 3V 1700mAh Nitecore CR123 batteries
under laboratory conditions. The data may vary slightly during real-world
use due to battery type, individual usage habits and environmental
factors.

Caution
DO NOT direct the beam towards human or animal eyes when using
HC30.
On/Off Operation
To turn HC30 on in direct ultralow mode: with HC30 turned off, press
the switch until a "click" is heard;
To turn HC30 on in general mode: with HC30 turned off, press the
switch for over one second. HC30 has memory effect for brightness in
this mode. When it is turned on, HC30 will directly enter the brightness
level last used.
To turn HC30 off: with HC30 turned on, press the switch for over one
second.
Note: In standby mode, HC30 can stand by for over two years with one
18650 battery.
Brightness Levels
With HC30 turned on, press the switch to cycle through brightness levels:
low, medium, high, turbo, ultralow.
Y
Instant Turbo
With HC30 turned off, press the switch for over two seconds to enter
turbo (1000 Lumens). To exit, press the switch for over one second to
turn HC30 off.
Special Modes (Strobe/SOS/Location
Beacon)
With HC30 turned off, double-click the switch to enter strobe. Press the
switch to cycle through SOS-location beacon-strobe modes. To exit, press
the switch for over one second to turn HC30 off.
Lockout Mode
Loosen the tail cover to lock out HC30 to avoid accidental activation.
Advanced Temperature Regulation(ATR)
Advanced temperature regulation (ATR) technology allows HC30 to
dynamically adjust output performance according to its internal
temperature, thus maintaining its internal temperature below 55 degree
Celsius. This prevents damage from overheating and prolongs its working
life.
Maintenance
Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a
thin coating of silicon-based lubricant.
