Dimensions
Length: 3.11 inch (79mm)
Head diameter: 0.73 inch (18.5mm)
Body diameter: 1.06 inch (27mm)
Weight: 3.47 oz (98.5g, without battery)
Special Modes (Strobe/Location Beacon/SOS)
With the HC60 turned off, press the switch twice in quick succession to access strobe. To cycle
through the special modes SOS-Location Beacon-Strobe, press the switch repeatedly. To exit a
special mode, press and hold the switch to turn the HC60 off.
ATR Technology
Advanced temperature regulation (ATR) technology allows the HC60 to dynamically adjust
output performance according to its body temperature. This prevents damage from overheating
and prolongs its working life.
Power Tips
Upon battery installation, the blue power indicator blinks to indicate the voltage of the battery
(accurate to 0.1V). For example, when battery voltage is 4.2V, the power indicator will blink 4
times in quick succession, followed by a 1.5 second pause and then another two blinks.
Different voltages represent the corresponding remaining battery power levels:
Charging
The HC60 is capable of charging a protected 18650 Li-ion battery using the included USB
cable. Open the cap with logo, install a protected 18650 Li-ion battery, plug one end of the
USB cord into the HC60’s micro-USB port and the other end into a universal USB port (a
computer, car charger, etc). Fully charging a depleted 18650 Li-ion battery takes approximately
6 hours.
