If high intensity mode is activated during the daytime it will shut off after one hour to conserve battery power If high intensity mode is activated at night the light will remain in that mode until daylight is detected or for 24 hours whichever occurs first The high intensity mode can be cancelled at any time by selecting any other output mode or by putting the light into blackout or storage modes 2 2 5 Turning The Light Off Storage If the light needs to be turned off for storage press and hold the button until the light flashes once about two seconds then immediately release the button The light is now off and will only respond to key presses for activation it will not automatically switch on at night 2 2 6 Battery Status Check The state of the battery can be checked by holding the button down for 2 seconds The light will flash once at 1 second and twice at 2 seconds At this point release the button and press it again one more time The light will produce a long flash and then a sequence of short flashes one flash for every 10 of the functional battery level up to a maximum of ten flashes 100 When the battery level check cycle is complete the light will return to its prior operation state 2 2 7 ALC Automatic Light Control ALC Automatic Light Control is a patented algorithm that allows the light to adjust its energy consumption to the solar environment This extends the range of use of the light
