Low Battery Indication; Installing A New Battery - HDS Systems EDC Tactical User Manual

See Customizing Your Flashlight (section 9) for detailed instructions
on customizing your flashlight.
Note: your flashlight uses Burst whenever you select the Maximum
brightness setting. The output is reduced by one brightness level 40
seconds after the button is released to maximize battery runtimes with
minimal visual impact. See Burst in Customizing Optional Features
(section 14) for details.

3. Low Battery Indication

Your flashlight will turn off momentarily and then back on one level
below the previous brightness level when the battery is unable to
supply enough power to run the current brightness level. This process
is repeated as needed as the battery's power is depleted.
Your flashlight will double-blink once every two minutes to remind you
that the battery needs to be changed when the battery is no longer
capable of maintaining a 50 lumen output level and you are asking for
an output level higher than the battery can maintain.
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.
