Note: The stated data is measured in accordance with the international flashlight testing standards ANSI/PLATO FL 1-2019, using 1 x 18650 Li-ion battery (3,500mAh) under laboratory conditions. The data may vary in real world use due to different battery usage or environmental conditions.
* The data is tested without temperature regulation.
* TURBO Availability: The TURBO level is only accessible when using an 18650 rechargeable Li-ion battery with a discharge current over 8A. It is inaccessible when using CR123/RCR123 batteries.

Battery Installation

Insert the battery(s) as illustrated and screw to tighten the battery cap.

Note: After the battery insertion, the power indicator beneath the Power Button will flash to indicate the battery voltage. Please refer to the "Power Indication" section of this manual for more details.

1. Ensure the battery(s) is/are inserted with the negative end towards the spring. The product will not work if the battery(s) is/are incorrectly inserted.
2. 
   Possible dangerous radiation! Don't look into the light! May be dangerous for your eyes.
3. When the power is low, please stop using the product and recharge the battery as soon as possible to avoid damage to the battery.
4. When the product is kept in a backpack or left unused for prolonged time, please remove all batteries to prevent accidental activation or battery leakage.

Battery Charging

The HC65 V2 / HC65M V2 is equipped with an intelligent charging system. As illustrated, unscrew the charging port cap after inserting the battery and tightening the battery cap, use the USB cable to connect an external power supply (e.g. a USB adapter or other USB charging devices) to the charging port to begin the charging process.

• During the charging process, the power indicator will flash slowly to inform the user.
• When the battery is fully charged, the HC65 V2 / HC65M V2 will cease the charging process and the power indicator will become steadily turned on to inform the user.
• When the charging status is abnormal (e.g. the battery is defective or inserted incorrectly), the HC65 V2 / HC65M V2 will cease the charging process and the power indicator will flash quickly to inform the user.
• The charging time for an 18650 rechargeable Li-ion battery (3,500mAh) is approx. 2 hours 25 minutes. (Charged via the 5V/2A adapter)

Primary White Light

On/Off

On: When the light is off, short press the Power Button to access the ULTRALOW Level.

When the light is off, press and hold the Power Button for 1 second to access the previous memorized brightness level.

Off: When the light is on, press and hold the Power Button for 1 second to turn it off. (The HC65 V2 / HC65M V2 has a memory function. When reactivated, the headlamp will automatically access the previous memorized brightness level.)

Brightness Levels

When the light is on, short press the Power Button to cycle through the following brightness levels: ULTRALOW – LOW – MID – HIGH – TURBO.

Direct Access to TURBO

• When the light is off, press and hold the Power Button for over 1 second even after accessing the memorized brightness level until it accesses TURBO. You will need to exit TURBO manually when using this access.
• When the light is on, double press the Power Button to access TURBO temporarily. Short press the Power Button to return to the previous status, or it will automatically return to the previous status if there is no operation in 30 seconds.

Auxiliary Lights and Special Modes (BEACON / SOS)

On: When the light is off, double press the Power Button to access the LOW Level of AUXILIARY RED LIGHT.

Switch: When the LOW Level of AUXILIARY RED LIGHT is on, short press the Power Button to cycle through the following modes: HIGH (AUXILIARY RED LIGHT) – FLASHING (AUXILIARY RED LIGHT) – AUXILIARY WHITE LIGHT – BEACON – SOS – LOW (AUXILIARY RED LIGHT).

Off: When one of the auxiliary lights or special modes is on, press and hold the Power Button for 1 second to turn it off.

Power Indication

When the battery is inserted, the power indicator will flash to show the battery voltage (±0.1V). For example, when the battery voltage is at 4.2V, the power indicator will flash 4 times followed by a 1.5-second pause and 2 more flashes. Different voltages represent the corresponding remaining battery power levels:

Note: When using two CR123/RCR123 in series, the indicator will show the average voltage between the two batteries.

ATR (Advanced Temperature Regulation)

The integrated ATR technology regulates the output of the HC65 V2 / HC65M V2 according to the working condition and ambient environment to maintain the optimal performance.

Changing Batteries

The batteries should be replaced when the output appears to be dim or the headlamp becomes unresponsive due to low power.

Maintenance

Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a thin coating of silicon-based lubricant.
