clintb,
My original post is not very clear. I'll have to edit it.
What I was referring to is, for example, you want to change your LF5 XT from a 5 mode light to a 3 mode light.
You turn it on (to any mode), do a
4xC+PH. You are now in
"Function Mode". The light is flashing once every 2 seconds, indicating you are at the point where you can enter the setting program for
"Momentary". Since we're wanting to change the
number of modes, we want to
skip this and go to the
"Number of Modes" setting program.
To do this, we simply
click twice (waiting
more than 0.4 sec between the 2 clicks), and now the LF5 XT will be flashing 3 times every 2 seconds. This is the indication we are ready to enter the
"Number of Modes" setting.
To do this, do
3xC+PH. Now the light will be flashing a number of times, the number indicating how many modes the light is
presently set up for. Let's say it's flashing 5 times every 2 seconds. This indicates the light is
presently set to 5 modes available. We want to change that to three modes so, we do
2xC (Decrease the number of modes) twice, waiting
more than 0.4 second between the two 2xC's. Once this is done, the light will be flashing 3 times every 2 seconds. This indicates that the light is now set to have 3 modes available.
To
"Save" this instruction, do
3xC+PH. The instruction is now saved, and the light is now flashing 3 times every 2 seconds.
This is where it got a bit confusing, to me anyway. The three flashes every 2 seconds is
now indicating that the light is back to where you can access the "Number of Modes" setting (You are back in "Function Mode"),
NOT that there are 3 modes available.
To
Exit "Function Mode", we need to do
3xC. If you try doing 3xC+PH to exit, you will just re-enter the
"Number of Modes" setting program, and be back where you were a minute ago! Unless I'm missing something, this is the
only way to exit "Function Mode" at this point.
Hope this helps. Don't get too carried away with the manual, unless you're prepared to do some real work. I know a bit about it, because I wrote the PDF manual for the Extreme III!
