The instructions for locking and unlocking the switch are written in the worst Engrish possible; I quote it word for word in it's entirety here:
"Depress-and-hold (within 2 seconds)the switch button until the LED flash once to lock the light and perform the same operation to unlock it".
"Within 2 seconds" of WHAT, exactly?
Oh yeah: it's Engrish. They aren't REQUIRED to define the terms they use.
These 'instructions', are, as is usual for Sunwayman 'instructions', completely worthless and incomprehensible. All that happens it that:
1) If the light is turned off, it turns the light on. If I press the button long enough, since it's not specified, it starts cycling through the output modes.
2) If the light is turned off, this is the PRECISE method for turning on the moonlight mode: Press and hold for a few seconds to turn on the moonlight mode. I can't get this POC to do anything else.
I sent a message to Sunwayman through their website, and this is the response I got. It would be funny, as an example of extreme Engrish, if I didn't NEED the lock and unlock instructions:
Sorry for this issue.
Please kindly understand this:
When your flashlight is locked out,please press the button at first, and then quickly press it once (within two seconds),
the flashlight can be unlocked if the LED flashes and perform the same operation to unlock it.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with!Thank you.

This is even more incomprehensible that the gibberish in the written instructions. I'm guessing 'Sherry' wrote her answer in Chinese, and then ran it through Google io 'translate' it to Engrish. There can be no other explanation. Notice how she doesn't even MENTION how to LOCK the switch, when that is SPECIFICALLY WHAT I ASKED FOR.
If it matters, the flashlight is a Sunwayman C13R. The switch is in the head, and only requires a few GRAMS of pressure to activate it. If I put it in my pocket, it gets turned on within a few minutes.
Without having the correct instructions for using the switch lock, the flashlight is completely useless to me. All it will do is drain batteries.
