Operating Instruction
※ Note: The front switch on the handle can turn on/off the cooling fans. The stailess steel side swtich on flashlight head and the rear switch on the handle can control flashlight ON/OFF, mode operation etc.
Cooling Fan Operation
ON/OFF: In any state (except LOCK-OUT), single click the front switch on the handle to turn on 2x cooling fans. A single click after this turns the fans OFF.
△ Note: When the light is ON, Single click side switch (or rear switch) also to turn off the cooling fans.
Mode Operation
ON/OFF: When the light is OFF, any click the side switch (or the rear switch) to turn the light ON. When the light is ON, just single click the side switch (or the rear switch) to turn the light OFF.
ECO Modes: From OFF, simple press and hold down the side switch (or the rear switch) to activate ECO modes. press and hold down the side switch (or the rear switch) again after this activates. the light cycle through "L1->L2->L3->L4" (or "L4->L3->L2->L1"). When the light cycle to the last level "L4" (or "L1"), the light will stop to cycle and stay at last level. If you want to select one level you need, just release the side switch (or the rear switch) while the light cycling. If you press and hold down the side switch (or the rear switch) again, the light will be cycled through opposite direction.
△ Note: After activate ECO modes, single click to turn OFF the light; double click to activate Turbo mode; quickly triple click to activate Special modes.
General modes: Single click the side switch (or the rear switch) to activate General modes. Press and hold down the side switch (or the rear switch) agin after this activates. the light cycle through "Low->Mid1-Mid2 ->Mid3->High" (or "High->Mid3->Mid2->Mid1->Low"). When the light cycle to the last level "High" (or "Low"), the light will stop to cycle and stay at last level. If you want to select one level you need, just release the side switch (or the rear switch) while the light cycling. If you press and hold on the side switch (or the rear switch) again, the light will be cylced through opposite direction.

Battery requirement
* Note: We also high recommend the oridinary users to purhcase Samsung 40T unprotected flat-top 21700 batteries or Modell P42A unprotected flat-top 21700 batteries to drive MK38.
Battery Installation
1. Loose the tailcap counterclockwise and take it away.
2. As shown in the graph, insert batteries with the positive (+) to connect the glod plated copper positive round conductive plate on tailcap PCB, the nagative (-) to connect the glod plated copper spring on PCB.
3. Tighten the tailcap by aligning the two metal pins on the tailcap with the corresponding holes on the flashlight body, and rotate clockwise.
* Warning: 1. DO NOT mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries
2. DO NOT mix batteries of different types/brands
3. DO NOT mix batteries of different power levels
4. DO NOT mix old and new batteries
Battery Voltage Indicator
When the light is turned on, the built-in power indicator under the stainless steel side switch will show different color light to indicate remaining battery voltage:
While battery voltage > 10.2V, blue light turn on and last 3s.
While battery voltage 9.6V-10.2V, purple light turn on and last 3s.
While battery voltage 8.7V-9.6V, red light constant-on.
While battery voltage < 8.7V, the light turn off authomatically.
* Low voltage warning
When the battery voltage level drops below the present level, the light is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until lowest output is reached. When the battery voltage level still drops low under lowest output, it will shut off authomatically.
Intelligent Overheat Protection
Advanced intelligent temperature regulation technology allows MK38 to dynamically adjust output performance according to its body temperature.The light will accumulate a lot of heat when you use it at high-output levels for extended periods. When the light reaches the temperature of 65°C or above, the light will automatically step down its output to reduce the temperature. at the same time we also make more premium cooling fins on flashlight head and built-in duable-row fans to blow effectively these cooling fins through the outside to protect flashlight overheat.
* Note: DO NOT submerge the flashlight into any liquid when it is hot. Doing so may cause irrepareable damage to the light due to the difference of air pressure inside and outside of tube.
