Battery Installation and Replacement

clockwise direction to remove the cap.
3. Remove the battery cartridge.
4. Remove batteries one at a time. To remove, grasp positive
pole end of the battery and lift upward.
5. Insert nine AA batteries into the cartridge in the direction indicated on
the cartridge, lining up the positive and negative poles of the battery
with the positive and negative markings inside the cartridge. Insert
batteries one at a time. Insert the negative pole end of the battery

Quick Cycle Switch Operation
This flashlight is equipped with COAST’s Quick Cycle Switch, featuring
high, and low beams.
• To activate the high beam from the off position, press the on/off
switch until it clicks once, then release. Press the on/off switch until it
clicks a second time to turn off the light.
• To activate the low mode, press the on/off switch until it clicks a third
time, then release. Press the on/off switch until it clicks a fourth time
to turn off the light.
• The light can also be operated in “momentary” mode. Momentary
mode is activated by partially depressing the on/off switch (less pres-
sure than required for a full click). The momentary switch will cycle
the light through the high and low beam modes.
• Any time the light is turned off for more than five seconds, the
high/low cycle will reset and the high beam will be activated when
the light is turned on again.
