*Magnetic charging only for 18650

It is non-proprietary battery support. Any 18650 Li-ion battery, protected or unprotected, button-top or flat-top can be used.
^^ However, I do not recommend using battery with proprietary positive and negative contact point at the same side as the contact spring might risk creating a short.

Turn the torch on / off with a single click. The flashlight switches on with the memory of the last mode (even TURBO) – unless you change the link, then it will start in high mode.
Change the modes by holding down the button; they operate in the loop from the lowest to the highest. TURBO is activated by a fast double click (on the flashlight).

Hidden modes:
- quick 3 clicks activate SOS
- when the torch is off we hold the button – to enable / disable the button lock against accidental switching on (when the lock is on and the button is pressed, the flashlight will turn on in the moon for a moment, when the button is released, the torch will go out)
- when the torch is off, two quick clicks activate TURBO
- when the flashlight is off, hold the button for a moment – it will turn on in the moon mode.

Summary:


XTAR MAGNEMITE H3R is a headlamp designed mainly for people who expect a good range from a flashlight that they can wear on their head. Good workmanship, magnetic charging and easy-to-use controller, plus good equipment make H3R a really interesting proposition.
