Special Modes (Strobe/Location Beacon/SOS/Police
Warning Signals)
With the MH27UV turned on, press the Step-up and Step-down switches simultaneously to
enter strobe mode.
Once in Strobe, press the Step-up switch once to enter Location Beacon, and once again to
enter SOS (no cycling back). Press the Step-down switch to enter modes in reverse order.
When in Strobe, press the Step-down switch to switch from strobe, blue and red police warning
signal, red police warning signal, to blue police warning signal (no cycling back). Press the Step-up
switch to enter modes in reverse order.
To exit special modes, press the Step-up and Step-down switches simultaneously again. The
MH27UV will resume the brightness level last used.
Note: The MH27UV has a memory feature. Upon turning-on, it will resume the brightness level or
special mode last used (with the exception of SOS and location beacon).
Charging
The MH27UV features an intelligent charging function. Turn the MH27UV on, connect the flashlight
charging port to a USB power source (USB adaptor, computer, etc) via a USB cord. The normal
charging time for an 18650 battery is 6 hours.
Output & Runtime
NOTICE:
The above data has been measured in accordance with the international flashlight testing standards
ANSI/NEMA FL1 using one x 3.7V 3400mAh Nitecore 18650 battery and 2 x 3V 1700mAh CR123
batteries under laboratory conditions. The data may vary slightly during real-world use due to
battery type, individual usage habits and environmental factors.
Operating Instructions
Battery Installation
Insert one 18650 battery or two CR123 batteries as
illustrated, with the positive (+) ends pointing to the

Power Tips
With the flashlight turned off, press all three switches simultaneously to activate battery voltage
indication. The blue power indicator will blink to indicate battery voltage (accurate to ±0.1V). For
example, when battery voltage is at 4.2V, the blue power indicator will blink 4 times, followed by a
1.5 second pause and another 2 blinks. Different voltages represent the corresponding remaining
battery power levels.

On/Off Operation
To turn the MH27UV on, press the tailcap switch all the way down until a “click” is heard;
To turn the MH27 UV off, press the tailcap switch all the way down again until a “click” is heard;
Brightness Levels
With the MH27UV turned on, press the Step-up switch repeatedly to switch from Ultraviolet,
Red, Blue, Ultralow, Medium, High, and ends at Turbo.
With the MH27UV turned on, press the Step-down switch repeatedly to switch between the
above mentioned levels and modes in reverse order until UV.
1. Under normal charging conditions, the blue indicator in the side
switches will blink once every 1.5 seconds. When charging is
complete, the blue indicator will illuminate steadily.
2. If a problem is detected during the charging process, the
MH27UV will stop charging and the blue indicator will blink
rapidly. This is usually caused by damaged or incorrectly
inserted batteries.
Note: After voltage reporting, the power indicator will blink once every 3 seconds to unveil the
location of the MH27 UV. A full 18650 will keep the torch in this status operational for 1 year.
ATR Technology
Advanced temperature regulation (ATR) technology allows MH27UV to dynamically adjust output
performance based on its internal temperature. This prevents damage from overheating and
prolongs its working life.
Changing / Charging Battery
When batteries are close to depletion, the brightness level will be locked at ultralow to protect
batteries. Please change batteries at this time.
Maintenance
Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a thin coating of
silicon-based lubricant.
