Operation instructions
Battery installation (see adjacent diagram)
1. Unscrew the tail cap in a counter-clockwise
direction.
2. Insert two 18650 battery or four CR123
batteries with the positive pole pointing
forward (toward the light head).
NOTES:
1. Insert batteries with the positive (+) end
pointing toward the flashlight head.
2. Do not mix rechargeable and
non-rechargeable batteries.
3. Do not mix batteries of different
types/brands.
4. Do not mix batteries of different charge levels.
Charging indicator light
1. Connect the charging cable to the flashlight and the A/C power adapter to the wall
outlet as shown in the adjacent image. Fully charging two depleted 18650 batteries
takes approximately 4 hours.
2. Under normal charging conditions, the red indicator light near the charging port will
blink twice every second.
3. If a problem is detected during the charging process, the MH40 will stop charging
and the red indicator will blink rapidly. This is usually caused by faulty or incorrectly
inserted batteries.
4. When charging is complete, the red indicator will illuminate steadily.

NOTICE
Stated data has been
measured according to the
international flashlight testing
standards ANSI/NEMA FL1
using two quality NITECORE
18650 (3.7V 2600mAh)
battery or four SYSMAX
CR123 (3V 1550mAh)
batteries under laboratory
conditions. The data may
vary due to individual usage
habits and environmental
conditions.
NITECORE (SYSMAX) is a member of PLATO, participating in and helping to develop
the ANSI FL1 standard of measurement. Product testing data is in accordance with
these internationally recognized scientific standards.
Cautions:
1. The MH40 needs to be turned on
in order to enter charging mode.
2. Do not charge batteries of
different types or different brands
together.
Switching ON/OFF
To switch ON: Press the button on the tailcap until a “click” is heard.
To switch OFF: Press the button on the tailcap a second time until a “click” is heard.
Mode Switching
The Nitecore MH40 has two modes: Turbo and user-defined. These two modes can
be changed by simply tightening and loosening the flashlight head. Turbo provides
100% output while user-defined contains five selectable sub-modes.
Turbo Mode
Turbo mode provides an output of 900 lumens and is accessed when the flashlight is
switched ON with the head lightly tightened. While in this mode, momentary
illumination can be achieved by switching off the flashlight and then half pressing and
holding the switch.
User-Defined Mode
User-defined mode is accessed by slightly loosening the flashlight head. In this mode,
lightly and rapidly pressing the switch will cycle through brightness and other
functions in the following order: “High-Mid-Low-SOS-Strobe”. Pressing the switch all
the way down will save and memorize a desired setting.
Tips: Make NITECORE MH40 your perfect Multitask Hybrid flashlight.
NITECORE MH40 flashlights essentially have two modes: Turbo mode (100% output)
and custom mode. Turbo mode is accessed by tightening the flashlight head while
any of the five customizable modes (strobe, SOS, low, medium and high) are selected
by loosening the head and rapidly pressing the on/off switch to cycle through the
modes. A given mode can be saved by simply turn off the light while in that mode.
Real-world examples include: When used as a flashlight around the home, the head
can be loosened and low level selected in custom mode, providing long runtimes at a
lower light intensity. The same flashlight could then be taken out and used a
law-enforcement duty light, with user-defined mode set in strobe, making it easy to
alternate between turbo mode and strobe with a simple twist of the flashlight head.
Maintenance
Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a thin coating
of silicon-based lubricant.
