Switch Mode For lanterns equipped with the optional external
switch, two Switch Modes are available. These
modes control the behaviour of the lantern when
switched on during the day using the external switch:
Standard Mode (Std): If the lantern is switched on
during the day in this mode, the lantern will turn on
for a minute or two to demonstrate the programmed
flash code and intensity, and then extinguish until the
programmed D2N light level is sensed.
Fog Mode (Fog): When switched on during the day
in Fog Mode, the lantern will turn on, and remain
on for the rest of that day and the following night. It
will extinguish the next morning, when the N2D light
level is sensed. It will then return to normal dusk-
until-dawn behaviour. Fog Mode can be used to
force the lantern on during the day.
User Passcode The User Passcode is the 3-digit number that you
must enter on the OBUI to modify the lantern's
settings (unless the lantern is configured so as not to
require passcode entry to edit settings).
Set Device Time This sets the internal clock on your lantern to be the
same as the time on your computer.
Set Ship Mode This allows you to set the lantern to Ship Mode.
On / Set Ship Ship Mode prevents the lantern's beam from turning
Mode Off on until it detects a Night to Day transition event, at
which point the lantern exits Ship Mode and resumes
normal operation. Use Ship Mode whenever you
store the lantern somewhere where it remains
consistently dark (like inside a closed box). If you
don't use Ship Mode prior to placing a lantern in a
consistently dark location, the lantern's beam will
turn on for ~24h, at which time it will automatically
enter Ship Mode. To conserve battery power,
however, it's preferable to put the lantern into Ship
Mode prior to dark storage.

The M650H is equipped with an
NOTE
algorithm that uses daily transition
events to periodically correct
for its clock drifting over time.
It's not critical that the internal
lantern clock and computer times
be identical; the internal lantern
clock exists only for datalogging
purposes.
