NOTICE
The stated data has been measured in accordance with the international
flashlight testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL1, using one high quality AA
Ni-Mh rechargeable battery (1.2V, 2500mAH) under laboratory
conditions. The data may vary in real-world use due to different battery
usage or environmental conditions.
Operation instructions
Battery installation
1. Unscrew (counterclockwise) and remove the tail cap.
2. Insert one AA or other compatible battery with the positive pole of the
battery pointing toward the head.
3. Replace the tail cap and fasten tightly.
WARNING
Always ensure battery is inserted with the positive (+) end pointing
toward the flashlight head. If incorrectly installed, the flashlight will not
Y
work.

Switching ON/OFF
To switch ON: Press the "ON/OFF" button once to turn the light on.
To switch OFF: Press the "ON/OFF" button once again to turn the light
off.
Note: When EA1 is off, the power indicator (red light) will flash once
every 3 seconds to act as a locator. In this mode, the EA1 consumes a
very little amount of current (about 0.15mA) to maintain working of the
MICRO
built-in MCU and power indicator. In this mode, one AA battery will last
2
about 2 years.
LUMENS
80 Brightness Selection
h
With the flashlight switched-on, each time you press the "MODE" button,
it will go through the different preset brightness levels as follows:
ultra-low mode→low mode→medium mode→high mode then repeat. In
this mode, the flashlight has a memory function. It can memorize the
selected brightness after turning the light off. The next time turning on
the light, it automatically resumes to the previously selected mode.
Entering Turbo Mode
With the flashlight switched on, press the "MODE" button for more than 1
Second, EA1 will enter Turbo mode. Press the MODE button again, the
flashlight will retreat from turbo brightness and resume to previous
brightness. In Turbo mode EA1 circuit will deliver maximum current to
make brightness as high as possible.
