Brightness & Runtime
NOTICE
Stated data has been measured according to the international flashlight
testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL 1 using one RCR123 battery (3.7V, 650mAh} under
laboratory conditions. The data may vary due to individual usage habits and
environmental conditions.
Operation instructions
Battery Installation
- Unscrew the tail cap in a counter-clockwise direction.
- Insert one (R}CR123 battery with the positive pole pointing forward (toward the light head).
NOTE: Ensure batteries are inserted with the positive (+} end pointing to the head. The MH1C will not operate with incorrectly inserted batteries.
Charging Function
The MH1C is capable of charging a protected RCR123 Li-ion battery via the
included USB cable. Simply install a protected RCR123 Li-ion cell, plugging
one end of the USB cable into the flashlight and the other end into a
universal USB port / adaptor and the MH1C will take care of the rest.
Charging indicator light
- Connect the charging cable to the flashlight and the NC power adapter to the wall outlet as shown in the adjacent image. Fully charging a depleted RCR123 battery takes approximately 2 hours.
- Under normal charging conditions, the red indicator light near the charging port will blink twice every second.
- If a problem is detected during the charging process, the MH1C will stop charging and the red indicator will blink rapidly. This is usually caused by faulty or incorrectly inserted batteries.
- When charging is complete, the red indicator will illuminate steadily.
Switching ON/OFF
To switch ON: Press the button on the tailcap until a “click” is heard.
To switch OFF: Press the button on the tailcap a second time until a “click”
is heard.
Mode Switching
The Nitecore MH1C has two modes: Turbo and user-defined. These two modes can be changed by simply tightening and loosening the flashlight head. Turbo provides 100% output while user-defined contains five selectable sub-modes.
Turbo Mode
Turbo mode provides an output of 550 lumens and is accessed when the
flashlight is switched ON with the head lightly tightened. While in this mode,
momentary illumination can be achieved by switching off the flashlight and
then half pressing and holding the switch.
Note: After three minutes of use in turbo mode, the flashlight will lower its
output automatically to preventing overheating and increase runtime.
User-Defined Mode
User-defined mode is accessed by slightly loosening the flashlight head. In this mode, lightly and rapidly pressing the switch will cycle through brightness and other functions in the following order: “High-Mid-Low-SOS- Strobe”. Pressing the switch all the way down will save and memorize a desired setting.
Tips: Make NITECORE MH1C your perfect Multitask Hybrid flashlight.
NITECORE MH1C flashlights essentially have two modes: Turbo mode (100% output}
and custom mode. Turbo mode is accessed by tightening the flashlight head
while any of the five customizable modes (strobe, SOS, low, medium and high}
are selected by loosening the head and rapidly pressing the on/off switch to
cycle through the modes. A given mode can be saved by simply turn off the
light while in that mode. Real-world examples include: When used as a
flashlight around the home, the head can be loosened and low level selected in
custom mode, providing long runtimes at a lower light intensity. The same
flashlight could then be taken out and used a
law-enforcement duty light, with user-defined mode set in strobe, making it
easy to alternate between turbo mode and strobe with a simple twist of the
flashlight head.
