Jetbeam MkIIx - Getting Out of Advance Mode?

[Tendermoves]

Hi Folks,

I just got my first LED flashlight based on the positive reviews from this forum on Jetbeam. Probblem is this noob doesn't know how to get his Jetbeam MkIIx out of the advanced mode. Can anyone give me some insight? I saw a diagram posted about a week ago but can't find it with a search.

Thanks!

LOL

That's just too funny, a flashlight that is so complicated to use that you cant figure out how it works by yourself!
Didn't they ship a manual with it?

Sorry that I jumped in your thread without helping you, but just thought it was too damn funny. And a prime ex of that flashlight UIs are becomming riddiculously complicated.

Yah, it's ok, I just figured it out from a thread. It's definitely a pain to switch from advanced to general but it's ok as I like to keep it in advanced mode anyways but 11 soft pushes away does seem to be excessive.

Overall though, the light is awesome in every way!

How about 255 for the Basic EDC lights.

Howdy Tendermoves, and welcome to CPF! Thats a nice light you got. I just got the Jetbeam C-LE, and I love the beam on that puppy, and while yes, the UI is a little more complicated on the MkIIx..... it does afford you lots of options..... and once you become familiar with it, it will become second nature. Have fun!

I got mine out of advance mode too, but damned if I know how I did it, LOL!!! Nothing shipped with the flashlight that gives any clue whatsoever how you are supposed to hold your mouth to make it happen.

It's your tongue. You have to hold your tongue just right.

OK guys! Thanks for all the feedback. Now can someone please tell me how to replace the rubber tailcap. Again I saw this before on the forums but now can't find it.

If it's the same as the MkI, then you have to remove your tailcap, look inside and you should see a retaining ring with 2 holes. Use a needlenose plier and 'plug' it into those 2 holes and unscrew the ring. Then you should be able to access the tailcap rubber easily.
