The EA8 utilizes a 2-stage switch similar to a camera shutter button. The light’s numerous functions are selected according to the depth the switch is pressed. The EA8 has two modes: Daily mode and Search / Turbo mode.

• Operating In Daily Mode

1. With the light turned off, press the switch partway down and release

within a second to enter daily mode.

2. Daily mode contains four brightness levels: ultra-low, low, medium, and high. Pressing the switch partway down in quick succession will cycle through these modes. Pressing the switch partway down and holding for more than one second when in daily mode will enter into turbo mode. See Turbo / Search mode instructions below.

3. The light is turned off (put into standby mode) by pressing the button all the way down and releasing within a second. This will also memorize the last daily mode used.

4. Daily mode has a momentary function which allows the light to be turned on only when the switch is held. With the light turned off, press the switch partway down and hold to activate daily mode’s momentary function. The light will turn off the moment the switch is released.

• Operating in Search / Turbo Mode

1. With the light turned off, press the switch all the way down and release within one second to enter turbo mode. To cycle between high and turbo modes press the button partway down while in turbo mode.

2. To turn the light off when in turbo mode, once again press the button all the way down and release within one second.

3. Turbo / search mode has a momentary function which allows the light to be turned on only when the switch is held. Pressing the all the way down and holding will activate Turbo / Search mode’s momentary function. The light will turn off the moment the switch is released.

• Standby Mode / Lockout and Unlock functions

With the light turned on, press the switch all the way down and release within one second to enter into standby mode. In this mode, the light will consume small amounts of power to maintain the settings in the MCU(micro control unit) but appear to be turned off. When in standby mode the power indicator light will flash once every three seconds to show the location of the light.

With the light turned on, press the switch all the way down and hold for more than one second. The light will turn off and enter into lockout mode. Lockout mode consumes almost no battery power and prevents the light from accidentally turning on. Holding the switch for more than one second to exit the lockout mode.

Note: When entering lockout mode, the power indicator will flash to indicate specific battery voltage. Please refer to the “Power Tips” section of this manual for details.
