2. Pause for 2 seconds.
3. Press the switch button and keep holding it down.
4. While still holding down the switch button, screw the tail cap back in until it is tight.
5. Keep holding down the switch button. Within about 4 seconds the flashlight will start
to blink.
6. The number of blinks indicates the new selected Function Set.
7.To choose a new Function Set, release the switch button after the corresponding number
of blinks (releasing after 1 blink chooses Function Set #1; releasing after 2 blinks chooses
Function Set #2; release after 3 blinks for Function Set #3, and release after 4 blinks to
choose Function Set #4.) Your choice of a Function Set remains in effect until you change
it by repeating the above process. (See our Demo video at www.maglite.com)
How To Fine- djust The Flashlight's Beam lignment
Your M GLITE® ML125™ LED flashlight's beam is aligned at the factory, and you can use
the flashlight just as it comes out of the package. The steps described below are for users
who wish to refine the beam pattern to achieve the brightest, tightest, best-centered spot
beam possible. This feature is also useful to readjust beam alignment, if necessary, after
the flashlight has undergone particularly rough use.
lignment adjustment is a process of unlocking the "skirt" (the back half of the flashlight's
head, marked ( ) Figs. 2 and 4), sliding the skirt down the flashlight's barrel (B) to gain
access to the alignment ring (marked (C) in Figs. 3 and 4), focusing the flashlight to the
tightest possible spot beam using the focusing ring (marked (D) in Figs. 3 and 4), and then
moving the alignment ring (C) until the best-centered spot is achieved. Here are the
steps in more detail:
1. Begin by unlocking the flashlight's skirt ( ) by grasping the flashlight's barrel (B) in
your right hand and its head in your left hand, extending your right thumb and index finger
onto the base of the flashlight's skirt ( ), as seen in Fig. 1:

2. Using your right thumb and index finger, push forward on the skirt ( ) closing the gap
between the skirt and the face cap (F). While maintaining forward pressure with your
right hand, use your left hand to grasp the knurled ring (E) between your left thumb and
index finger and begin to turn it in either direction. Once you have turned the knurled
ring (E) approximately 1/16th turn, release the forward pressure on the skirt ( ) and
continue to turn the knurled ring (E). The knurled ring (E) will spring back, releasing the
skirt ( ) and allowing you to slide it down the barrel (B). This exposes the alignment ring
(C).

3. Once you have slid the skirt ( ) down the barrel (B), as seen in Figs. 3 and 4, turn the
B
flashlight on. Just behind the knurled ring (E) is a large plastic ring called the focusing
ring (D). By turning the focusing ring (D) in either direction, focus the light to the tightest
spot possible. Once focused, locate the smaller plastic ring, called the alignment ring
(C), which you will use to adjust the beam alignment. Grasping the flashlight's barrel (B)
in your left hand (see Fig. 4), take the alignment ring (C) between the thumb and index
finger of your right hand. Then "tilt" the alignment ring (C) in different directions and
watch the effect on the spot as you do this. You will see the spot become either more
distorted or closer to round. When you find the position where the spot is as close to
round as possible, the beam is optimally aligned. Leave the alignment ring (C) in that
position.

back into its normal position at the back of the head of the flashlight. Begin by sliding the
