Introduction
The EDC Flashlight is your best-of-class everyday carry pocket flashlight that provides
regulated light output at a user-selected brightness. Matching the amount of light to the
task will maximize battery life - yet can still provide an intensely bright light when you
need it. A single button activates your light and easily selects the desired brightness.
You can maximize battery life by using the minimum brightness level compatible with
the task you are performing. The lowest brightness levels will help preserve your night
vision adaptation without using a red filter while still allowing you to distinguish
colors.
Your eyes respond to light in a logarithmic way. That means that a significant visible
increase in brightness requires a doubling in the amount of light - and power. The
brightness levels on your light are spaced to provide small, visually even changes in
brightness. As a rough approximation, every two levels brighter will halve the battery
life and every two levels dimmer will double the battery life. The maximum brightness
level pulls significantly more power than the rough approximation indicates and has a
much shorter battery life as a result.
The following is a summary of the available commands and will assist you in quickly
learning to use your flashlight. However, please read the rest of the User's Guide so
you will understand how each feature works.

- Page 5 If there is insufficient power to run your light at full power there is also insufficient power to safely remember the selected menu item. When there is insufficient power to remember the selected menu item, you will see two seconds of very rapid flashing. The menu item will be as you set it but the change will be forgotten the next time you change the batteries or do a soft reset.
- Page 6 the Option menu and enable the Force Setting option. Your light will now turn on to the selected setting. Note: if the forced setting is Maximum or Minimum, the first double-click will take you to the Primary setting. The Force Setting option is a toggle setting. Setting it once enables it while setting it twice disables it.
- Page 7 Option 7: Simple Momentary The Simple Momentary option allows a press to be distinguished from a click when your light is turned off. When the Simple Momentary option is enabled, your light turns off when the button is released following a press. When the Simple Momentary option is disabled, your light will stay on after the button is released following a press.
- Page 8 Soft-Reset – fix an unresponsive state or part of a higher level reset. If your light is working normally, turn your light on and unscrew the battery case until the light goes out, count to three and then screw the battery case back together. If your light is in an unresponsive state, remove the batteries for 2 minutes and then reinstall them.
- Page 9 Your light remembers the restricted brightness level and will not allow you to use a higher brightness level as long as your light remains on. Turning your light off and back on resets the restricted brightness level and allows you access to all brightness levels if your batteries are capable of supplying the power.
- Page 10 High Temperature Indication Your light can produce an excess amount of heat on the higher brightness level(s). If you hold on to your light with a bare hand during operation, your body will conduct away any excess heat and prevent your light from getting too hot. However, if you place your light on a table or hold it with a gloved hand, the excess heat is not easily conducted away.
