Operation
Reserve power
Battery discharged
(lamp flashes)
Very low capacity
Reserve power:
Note:
The battery life remaining after the
red LED
has come on is depen-
dent on the overall capacity, the temperature and the battery's age. As a
Li-Ion battery's voltage curve is not proportional to the remaining capacity,
you will have to learn to interpret the indicators in relation to your battery.
When the battery is discharged (the red LED has been flashing for some
minutes), the
red and the blue LED
will flash alternately; the lamp itself also
flashes. After switching the light on again
(double click!),
reserve power
will be available. Depending on the age of the battery, some more minutes
of light will be provided. To make reserve power last as long as possible,
only light below 2 W will be provided. To indicate that reserve power has
been activated, the
red and the blue LED
will flash in turn.
As soon as the battery is entirely discharged then, the lamp will be switched
off automatically. Therefore:
Caution!
Warning!
When the battery is almost entirely discharged
(the red LED has been flashing for some minutes), the lamp
will flash several times (the red and the blue LED flash) and
is then switched off.
Caution!
The red LED indicates the state of the battery. If the battery voltage
decreases below a certain value, first, the red LED will come on (the
lamp itself also flashes once) and then additionally, shortly before the
capacity is entirely exhausted, it will start flashing.
Note:
When permanently operating the lamp at
maximum power
, the
battery warnings may be issued in very quick sequence.
Battery warning:
Battery partly discharged
The blue LED is on:
The lamp is on.
Explanation of LEDs:
Note:
When operating the lamp only with
2 W or less
, no reserve power will be
available.
Warning:
Do not switch on the light when the battery is discharged, as
this will invariably damage the battery. Recharge the battery as soon as
possible to avoid a deep discharged battery and do not attempt to store
your flashlight with no charge left.
The red LED is on:
The lamp flashes once:
A considerable amount of the battery power
has been used; save power immediately!
The red LED flashes,
the lamp flashes once:
The battery is almost discharged.
The blue and the red
LED flash in turn,
the lamp flashes:
The battery is discharged.
The blue and the red LED
flash in turn:
The lamp is running on reserve power.
