Product Usage Instructions

1. A single click turns the light on and off.
2. When the light is on, press the button to scroll through modes.
3. The MX3F has 5 brightness modes and remembers the last mode used.
4. To enter low mode, press the button when the light is off.
5. To activate burst mode, double click the button when the light is off or on.
6. To lock the side button and prevent accidental activation, perform five rapid clicks. To release the lockout, perform five rapid clicks again. The light blinks twice to confirm.
7. When the light is locked, the button glows green if clicked, but the light will not turn on.
8. If the battery gets low, the light steps down to the next lowest mode that can be sustained. This continues through all modes until the battery is depleted.
9. The power button indicator turns red when the battery reaches 20% capacity. Recharge the battery as soon as possible.
10. Burst mode is activated with a double click. The light maintains Burst Mode for 30 seconds and then ramps down to High mode over the next 30 seconds. Burst mode can be reactivated at any time by double clicking.
11. Burst mode is not memorized. To revert to the last saved mode (when burst is active), double click the button or turn the light off and then on again.
12. Replace/recharge the battery before it is completely empty for optimal battery life. Fully depleted batteries may trip the low voltage protection circuit, disabling the battery.
13. To install the battery, unscrew the tailcap from the body with the (+) terminal facing the head. Do not install batteries backwards.
14. Clean dirty or gritty threads with a soft tissue and/or cotton swab. Apply lubrication to the threads and o-ring to maintain smooth operation and prevent damage. If the o-ring dries out, it may tear when replacing batteries.

MAELSTROM MX3F FLOODLIGHT

“SIDE BUTTON” INTERFACE AND OPERATION

• The MX3F light has a simple “side button” user interface – the light is controlled by “clicking” or “pressing” the switch to turn the light on/off or cycle modes.
• A “click” is accomplished by quicklypushing and releasing the button. A “press” is accomplished by holding the button down.
• A single click always turns the light on and off. When the light is on, press the button to scroll through modes.

MODE MEMORY
The MX3F has 5 brightness modes and remembers the last mode used.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

• Direct low mode access: when the light is off, press the button to enter low mode.
• Direct burst mode access: when the light is off or on, double click the button for Burst mode.
• Lockout mode: five rapid clicks lock the side button to prevent accidental activation. Five rapid clicks releases the lockout. The light blinks twice to confirm. When the light is locked, the button glows green if clicked, but the light will not turn on when locked out.

USER SWAPPABLE OPTICS

• The MX3F optics are designed to be user swappable so you can customize the light to suit your mission. The light ships with the medium pattern optic (25°) installed.
• If you prefer wider angle illumination you can install the wide optic (60°). Simply unscrew the bezel of the flashlight, remove the old optic, and install the new one.
• Take care not to drop the glass window or get fingerprints on it. Take care to align the legs on the optic with the appropriate holes to avoid damage to the LED domes.

MODES

•  Moonlight = 5 Lumens
• Low = 50 Lumens
• Medium = 400 Lumens
• High = 1600 Lumens
• Burst = 2600 Lumens (100% output)

BURST MODE (100% output)

• Typically 100% output is not needed. Burst mode is a battery saving feature.
• Burst mode is activated with a double click. The light maintains Burst Mode for 30 seconds and then ramps down to High mode over the next 30 seconds. You can reactivate Burst mode at any time by double clicking.
• Burst mode is never memorized. Revert to the last saved mode (when burst is active) by double clicking the button, or turning the light off and then on again.

LOW BATTERY WARNING

• When the battery gets low, the light steps down to the next lowest mode that can be sustained. This continues through all modes until the battery is depleted. The power button indicator turns red when the battery reaches 20% capacity. Recharge ASAP.
• The stepping function delivers the absolute maximum amount of run time possible, so you aren’t left in the dark.
• Best practice is to replace/recharge the battery before it is completely empty. Modern rechargeable batteries will last longer if you recharge them before they are fully depleted.
• If the battery is fully depleted you may trip the low voltage protection circuit, disabling the battery.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

• The battery should be installed with the (+) terminal facing the head. NEVER install batteries backwards.
• Access the battery by unscrewing the tailcap from the body. There is no need to unscrew the head from the body during normal operation. A loose head can cause the light to malfunction

BATTERY COMPATIBILITY

• The best battery for the MX3F is the Foursevens 26650 Li-Ion rechargeable provided with your flashlight. To purchase batteries and chargers, please visit the link at the bottom of the next page.
• We strongly recommend the use of “protected” li-ion cells for maximum saftey. They prevent accidents that could lead to a battery fire.

MAINTENANCE

• If the threads become dirty or gritty, clean them with a soft tissue and/or cotton swab. Reapply lubrication to the threads and o-ring to maintain smooth operation and prevent damage. If the o-ring dries out, it may tear when replacing batteries.
• Spare o-rings are included with the MX3F. You probably won’t need them, but if the main o-ring ever breaks or tears, you’ll have a replacement on-hand.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Best Battery: 26650 Li-Ion
• Voltage Range : 2.8V-4.2V
• Bump Protection: software prevents accidental mode changes if dropped.
