Operating Instructions

Control via two buttons: power button (ON/OFF and intensity adjustment) + MODE button (light source switching)

Power ON/OFF: When the light is off, hold the power button for 1 second to access LOW mode. When the light is on, hold the power button or MODE button for 1 second to turn it off.

Primary white light: From LOW, press the power button briefly to cycle through levels: LOW - MID - HIGH. Press the power button twice to access TURBO mode, press briefly to return to previous state. When the light is off, press the power button twice to access ULTRALOW.

Auxiliary red light: When the light is off, hold the MODE button for 1 second to access red light LOW. Press the power button briefly to switch from Red LOW to Red HIGH.

Light source switching: When the light is on, press the MODE button briefly to switch from primary white light to auxiliary red light.

Special modes (SOS/Beacon/Slow Flash): Regardless of the lamp state, press the MODE button twice to access SOS mode. Press the power button briefly to cycle through: SOS - BEACON - SLOW FLASH, press the MODE button twice again to return to previous state.

Lock/Unlock: When the lamp is off, hold both buttons for 2 seconds until the lamp flashes 3 times (locked). To unlock, hold both buttons again for 2 seconds until ULTRALOW mode activates.

Battery indicators: When the light is off, press the MODE button briefly to display charge level via 4 indicators (4 constant = 75-100%, 3 constant = 50-75%, 2 constant = 25-50%, 1 constant = 0-25%).

USB-C charging: Remove the USB protection cover and connect the USB-C cable to the charging port and to a power source (5V/2A adapter recommended). Indicators progressively switch from flashing to constant light. Charging time: approximately 2 hours. When the 4 indicators are constantly lit, the battery is fully charged.

Direct external power: The HC60 UHE can operate directly on an external power source which becomes priority. Connect the USB cable while the lamp is on (it flashes once to confirm). To disconnect, unplug the cable (the lamp flashes twice and switches to internal battery).

Battery installation/removal: Unscrew the battery cap, insert/remove the battery with the negative end facing the cap, then screw back.
