NOTICE: The stated data has been measured in accordance with the international flashlight testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL1, using 1 x 18650 battery (3.7V, 3400mAh) under laboratory conditions. The data may vary in real-world use due to different battery use or environmental conditions.

Battery Installation

Charging

Operating Instructions

Battery Installation

Install one 18650 Li-ion or two CR123 batteries as illustrated.

1. Install the battery (ies) with the positive end pointing inward. Otherwise the HC60/ HC60M cannot work properly.
2. Do not direct beams towards human or animal eyes as doing so may damage sight.

On/Off Operation

To turn the HC60/HC60M on: Press the switch once;
To turn the HC60/HC60M off: Press and hold the switch. The HC60/HC60M will turn off and enter standby mode.

Brightness Levels

With the HC60/HC60M turned on, press the switch repeatedly to cycle through the following brightness levels Ultralow-Low-Mid-High-Turbo. The HC60/HC60M has a memory feature. By pressing and holding the switch for one second, it will resume the brightness level or special mode last used.
Direct access to turbo:
With the HC60/HC60M turned off, press and hold the switch for two seconds to enter turbo level (1000 lumens). Press and hold the switch again to turn it off.
Note: In standby mode, the HC60/HC60M can stand by for over two years on one 18650 battery.

Special Modes

Strobe/Location Beacon/SOS
With the HC60/HC60M turned off, press the switch twice in quick succession to access strobe. To cycle through the special modes SOS-Location Beacon-Strobe, press the switch repeatedly. To exit a special mode, press and hold the switch to turn the HC60/HC60M off.

ATR Technology

Advanced temperature regulation (ATR) technology allows the HC60/HC60M to dynamically adjust output performance according to its body temperature. This prevents damage from overheating and prolongs its working life.

Power Tips

Upon battery installation, the blue power indicator blinks to indicate the voltage of the battery (accurate to 0.1V). For example, when battery voltage is 4.2V, the power indicator will blink 4 times in quick succession, followed by a 1.5 second pause and then another two blinks. Different voltages represent the corresponding remaining battery power levels:

Charging

The HC60/HC60M is capable of charging a protected 18650 Li-ion battery using the included USB cable. Open the cap, install a protected 18650 Li-ion battery, plug one end of the USB cord into the HC60/HC60M's micro-USB port and the other end into a universal USB port (a computer, car charger, etc). Fully charging a depleted 18650 Liion battery takes approximately 6 hours.

1. If a problem (battery damage, reverse polarity, etc) is detected during the charging process, the HC60/HC60M will stop charging and the blue indicator built in the switch will blink rapidly.
2. Under normal charging conditions, the blue indicator will blink every 1.5 seconds. When charging is complete, the HC60/HC60M will automatically terminates charging, and the blue indicator will illuminate steadily.
3. Do not charge CR123 or RCR123 batteries in the HC60/HC60M.

Changing / Charging Battery

Batteries should be replaced or recharged when output appears to be dim or the flashlight becomes unresponsive.

Maintenance

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