Torch 1,Installing the Batteries Hold the aluminium casing firmly in one hand and turn the end cap in a counter-clockwise direction until fully unscrewed. Pull the end cap away from the casing and place each battery into the casing with the negative pole (-) first. Then replace the end cap and turn in a clockwise direction until fully tightened. The flashlight is now ready to be used. IMPORTANT: Please ensure that the batteries are installed correctly otherwise battery damage may occur, possibly resulting in an explosion. Never try to recharge batteries or use new and used batteries together. Always change all the batteries at the same time and only use high quality ones of the same type and brand. If you do not intend to use the flashlight for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent them leaking and damaging the flashlight. NOTE: When the batteries have been depleted after continuous use of the flashlight, it is possible to use it once again if left for 8 hours to recover. This will enable further use until the batteries have been completely depleted. Useful in emergency situations or in simply getting the most from your batteries. 2, Operating the Flashlight To switch on the flashlight simply press the end cap switch until it engages, then release. To switch the flashlight off, press the end cap switch once again until it disengages, then release. 3, Sliding Optical Focus This flashlight is equipped with a sliding optical focus system that allows you to choose between a long beam that is ideal for seeing far into the distance or a wide beam which illuminates more of the surrounding area. To adjust this you’ll need to hold the flashlight normally with the aluminium casing and then using your thumb and forefinger push the head collar of the flashlight to produce a long beam or pull it back to produce a wide beam.
