We are delighted that you have purchased one of our products.
These are usage instructions to help you familiarise yourself with your new purchase. All the documents accompanying the product must be read
attentively before using the product, preserved carefully and if the product is transferred to a third party, the documents must be handed over as
well. This ensures that maximum benefit is drawn from the product and questions from users are anticipated before they arise.
Above all, comply with the warnings and safety instructions and dispose of the packaging material properly.
Under point 13 and 14 it is explained how the lamp head is separated from the Power Module and how the rear part of the shaft of the lamp is
unscrewed. Both actions described under point 13 and 14 must be carried out before initial use of the lamp; they are necessary in order to remove
and dispose of the two insulating films (one on each side). These two films serve as protection during transport of the "Safety Ytrion Cell" battery
pack.
After taking off the insulating films, you must screw the rear part to the middle part first before pushing the switch button; otherwise the lamp might
not work properly. Now, you can screw the Power Module (rear part plus middle part) to the lamp head.

Version of the operating manual: 1.1
1. Battery set:
1 × Power Module (shaft including "Safety Ytrion Cell" battery pack); no other batteries or accumulators are permitted
2. Switching on and off
In the front section of the M17R, directly behind the wide head, is the selection ring of the "Fast Action Switch", in the groove of which the switch
button is located. The name "Fast Action Switch" describes the facility provided by this switch system to quickly select and use various Light
Programs and Light Functions (see Point 7). Turning the selection ring of the "Fast Action Switch" changes the position of the switch button in the
groove. Its position can be adjusted so that it clicks into place in 5 different settings. These positions represent the various Light Programs (see
point 7).
In the extreme left position of the switch button, which is marked on the selection ring by a lock symbol (
against accidentally getting switched on. In all the other positions, it can be switched on and the various Light Functions can be used.
What is important here is that there are three ways of actuating the switch button:
a) Switching
The switch button is pressed beyond the pressure point, i.e. so deep that the switch clicks into place. A small sound, a click, can be heard.
b) Brief tapping
The switch button is only tapped briefly and not as deeply as in a) above. As a result, the switch does not click into place, there is no click audible
and the switch remains in the starting position when it is released.
c) Prolonged tapping
The switch button is pressed as under b), only slightly but for a longer time.
Here too, the button is not pressed so hard as under a. As a result, the switch does not click into place, there is no click audible and the switch
remains in the starting position when it is released.
This prolonged tapping is required, e.g. to be able to make various settings (see Point 7 and 8).
The descriptions above apply to the switch button of the "Fast Action Switch" in the front section of the M17R. Please do not confuse it with the
switch button (see Point 10), which is formed by the two concentric charging contacts at the end of the torch.
3. Focus
The focus of the M17R can be quickly adjusted with the help of the so-called Speed Focus. For this purpose, hold the torch on the serrated middle
section firmly with one hand and with the other hand, push the wider lamp head in which the reflector lens is located, to the front or to the back. By
doing this, you can adjust the light beam continuously variably to suit your needs.
4. Fast Lock
If required, a desired focus setting can be locked by means of the so-called Fast Lock. What this does is to prevent the focus setting from getting
accidentally changed. To do so, the lamp head must be turned left with respect to the shaft, i.e. in the direction of the legend "Lock" on the lamp
head. To release this fixed setting and to once again allow the continuously variable setting of the focus (see Point 3), the lamp head has to be
turned in the other direction, i.e. the direction of the legend "Unlock".
5. Smart Light Technology (SLT)
The M17R is equipped with our Smart Light Technology (SLT). Thanks to the use of a microcontroller, the light output of the LED can be controlled
and the user can use various Light Programs and Light Functions. By using a single switch in conjunction with the selection ring in the "Fast Action
Switch", it was possible to design the interface to be simple and user-friendly. The pocket torch can give the user light in various intensities and
in various different ways. There are thus two Energy Modes, four Light Programs and a number of Light Functions available. To switch the pocket
torch on and off and to select the various Light Functions, the switch in its front section has to be used. Here, the switch is used in the three ways
described above in Point 2.
What basically applies is that the brightness of the M17R is monitored by the in-built temperature control unit.
6. Energy Modes
By selecting one of the two Energy Modes (Energy Saving or Constant Current), you take a decision on how the energy contained in the
accumulator is used.
1. Energy Saving: The light output is controlled by the integrated Smart Light Technology (SLT). The brightness is matched to the real conditions
that occur during normal use of the lamp, thus providing a longer burn time.
2. Constant Current: This Energy Mode allows the continuous use of all the Light Functions with a more or less constant light output. This Energy
Mode is to be preferred when a high brightness level is more important than a long burn time.
Changing of the Energy Modes
For changing the Energy Mode, the lamp has to be off and the switch button must be in the second position (
If you now tap the switch button on the lamp head lightly 8 times, followed by a switching operation, and then the brightness increases jerkily, to
later reduce gradually to zero, the M17R is in the Energy Mode 'Energy Saving'. But if the brightness of the M17R remains constant for approx. 2
seconds after the sudden increase, to then suddenly drop to zero, the M17R is thereafter in the Energy Mode 'Constant Current'.
With this procedure, you can switch between the two Energy Modes. It is not possible to determine in which Energy Mode the M17R is. To find this
out, you must carry out the procedure. If the M17R is thereafter not in the desired Energy Mode any more, you must repeat the procedure again.
7. Light Programs and Light Functions
As has already been described in Point 2, by turning the black selection ring (with its 5 marks) below the narrowing point of the lamp head, you
can select from between 5 different positions and activate them with the switch button. The 5 positions represent the various Light Programs or the
Lock Function. Thanks to the permanent magnets that are embedded in the selection ring of the "Fast Action Switch", the ring slides over the lamp
housing when it is turned, and thus ensures contact-less transmission of the selection to the microcontroller in the lamp housing.
