Инсталација батерије

  1. Unscrew the tailcap of the flashlight by turning it counter-clockwise.
  2. Insert eight (8) AA batteries into the battery compartment. The inner body features four small tunnels, with two batteries sliding into each tunnel. Ensure correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment. The flashlight has reverse polarity protection, but correct insertion is always recommended.
  3. Screw the tailcap back on clockwise until it is securely tightened. This ensures proper electrical contact and maintains the waterproof seal.

Upon initial battery insertion, the integrated power indicator light will blink to display the battery voltagе. Фор екample, five blinks followed by a one-second pause and then three blinks indicates 5.3V.

Упутство за употребу

Укључивање/искључивање

  • Да укључите батеријску лампу ON, press the two-stage side switch until it clicks.
  • Да укључите батеријску лампу ОФФ, press and hold the two-stage side switch for several seconds until the light extinguishes. Alternatively, you can slightly unscrew the tailcap to break the circuit and prevent parasitic drain, especially for long-term storage.

Brightness Modes Selection

The EA8 features a two-stage side switch for mode selection. From the ON state:

  • To cycle through brightness levels (Micro, Low, Mid, High, Turbo): With the light on, lightly press the switch (half-click) repeatedly to cycle through the modes in ascending order.
  • Direct access to Turbo: From OFF, press and hold the switch for approximately one second to directly activate Turbo mode.
  • Direct access to Micro: From OFF, press the switch briefly (full click) to activate Micro mode.

Special Modes (SOS, Strobe, Beacon)

From the ON state, quickly double-press the switch to activate special modes. Continue to double-press to cycle through Strobe, SOS, and Beacon modes. Press the switch once to return to the previously used brightness level.

Индикатор напајања батерије

The integrated blue indicator light on the side switch serves multiple functions:

  • Location Beacon: When the flashlight is off, the blue light will blink every 1.5 seconds, indicating its position in the dark.
  • Лов Волtagе Упозорење: The indicator will flash rapidly when battery power is low, signaling that batteries need replacement.
  • Баттери Волtagе Дисплеј: As mentioned in the Setup section, it displays battery voltage upon insertion.

Одржавање

  • Чишћење: Wipe the flashlight body with a clean, soft cloth. For optical surfaces, use lens cleaning solution and a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
  • Подмазивање О-прстена: Periodically lubricate the O-rings with silicone grease to maintain the waterproof seal. The tailcap threadings come pre-lubricated from the factory.
  • Складиштење батерије: If the flashlight will not be used for an extended period (e.g., several months), remove the batteries to prevent leakage and parasitic drain. Even when off, the flashlight may draw a small amount of current. Alternatively, slightly unscrew the tailcap to ensure no contact is made with the batteries.
  • Тип батерије: For optimal performance and reduced risk of leakage during long-term storage, consider using high-quality rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries (e.g., Panasonic Eneloops) or non-rechargeable lithium AA batteries (e.g., Energizer Ultimate Lithium L91).
