The rotary switch on the tail of the flashlight allows you to choose between light modes that have different controls.

Tactical mode (rotary control in left position): press the tactical button on the end of the flashlight to turn on, press the button halfway to activate immediately. The flashlight will always activate in the highest mode. To activate the strobe, hold the button down for 0.8 seconds (even from off state). Pressing the button returns the flashlight to its original mode. Pressing the button turns the flashlight off.

Service Mode (rotary control in right position): Press the tactical button on the end of the flashlight to turn on, press the button to activate immediately. The flashlight remembers the last selected mode (except strobe). The light modes (except strobe) can be cycled by pressing the button. To activate the strobe, hold the button for 0.8 seconds (even from the off state). Pressing the button returns the flashlight to its original mode. Pressing the button turns the flashlight off.

To reactivate the tactical button, the control must be turned to tactical or service mode. When using the wired switch, only the highest constant light mode is available.
