I. Operating Instructions
A. On/Off Operations
The UC3.400 flashlight is operated with an on/off button pushed similarly to
a “computer mouse click”. The button can be clicked once for Standard
mode operation, twice for Strobe mode and held down for Peak mode. The
recharging of the flashlight is a simple process of inserting the flashlight into
the charging unit until it “snaps” into place. The “blue” LED indicator light on
top of the charging unit will display the recharge cycle performance.
There are multiple modes of operation with the UC3.400. You may activate the
various modes by pressing the button (I/O) on the flashlight.
1. Peak– From any mode, hold down button
2. Standard – single click
3. Strobe – double click
Click once from any mode to turn flashlight off.
B. Charging the UC3.400

automatic charging of the flashlight will commence once the flashlight
“snaps” into the final charging position.
2. The blue LED at the top of the charger will blink slowly then faster and
become solid as the flashlight reaches full charge. After ~90 seconds
when the blue LED is solid, the flashlight is ready to be used.
3. Remove the flashlight from the charger unit once recharge cycle is
complete.
