OPERATION

Using the XL200^™ flashlight's pushbutton switch (in the tailcap), you can select one of 5 basic functions. These are summarized by icons on the tailcap as follows (see Fig. 2): (See our Demo video at www.maglite.com)

means you can turn the flashlight on and adjust brightness using 1 Click. Starting with the flashlight off, press and hold down the switch button while rotating the flashlight left and right (see Fig. 3) to vary the brightness. When you see the desired brightness level, release the button to keep that setting. Turn the flashlight off with 1 Click. The XL200^™remembers your selected brightness setting, so when you turn the light on with 1 Click, your selected brightness level will reappear. Your selection will stay in effect until you either (1) change it by repeating the above steps or (2) remove the tailcap, wait a moment, and replace it.

means that you can make the flashlight produce a strobe (blinking) effect using 2 Quick Clicks. Starting with the flashlight off, press the button twice (about as quickly as you would say "Click Click") but hold it down on the second press. Rotate the flashlight left and right (see Fig. 3) while holding down the switch button to vary the blink rate. When you see the desired blink rate, release the button to keep that setting. As above, use 1 Click to turn the flashlight off. When you turn it on again with 2 Quick Clicks, it will strobe at your selected blink rate, which will stay in effect until you change it as above.

means that you can put the flashlight in Nite Lite™ mode using 3 Quick Clicks. Starting with the flashlight off, quickly press the switch button three times (about as quickly as you would say "Three Quick Clicks") and it will come on at maximum brightness (or whatever other brightness level you have stored). Within 5 seconds or so, it will dim down to a very low level and stay there until the flashlight is moved; then it will go to bright again. 1 Click turns the flashlight off.

means that you can put the flashlight in Signal mode using 4 Quick Clicks. Starting with the flashlight off, click the switch button four times. You can then use your flashlight as a silent signaling device: Turn it on and off noiselessly simply by rotating the flashlight (as in Fig. 3). 1 Click turns the flashlight off.

means that by using 5 Quick Clicks you can make your flashlight repeatedly and silently signal "SOS" – the International Morse Code Distress Signal. Quickly press the button five times and it will begin signaling "SOS." To make it stop, turn the flashlight off with 1 Click.

Lockout: To avoid accidental operation, follow these steps to lock the switch: (1) Aim the flashlight straight up at the ceiling; (2) press and hold down the switch button as you rotate the flashlight until it is pointing straight down at the floor; then (3) release the button. The switch is now locked. To unlock, repeat these steps.
