All you need to do to enter programming mode is double tap from either ON or OFF.
It will start strobing.
Single tap to get you past the disco, SOS, beacon, turbo and blinky modes… and eventually after a few taps total you will end up in what looks like the low-firefly mode. This is really the program mode. Leave it there for a few seconds and it will start cycling through the settings for each bank:
Firefly - L/M/H (single tap to chose your output level)
LOW - L/M/H (single tap to chose your output level)
MED - L/M/H (single tap to chose your output level)
HI - L/M/H (single tap to chose your output level)
Once you finish selecting your HI, it will strobe once more. double tap to exit and you are all set.
There is also a hidden battery charge status indicator mode in there too. Its after disco, SOS, beacon, TURBO…. It will flash 4, 3, 2, or 1 time to indicate battery charge level. Really cool feature that I wish they made more readily accessible.
MANKERLIGHT You have been on an anti-Utorch rant since day-1. Instead of ranting about it on a user forum, take control of your business and address the root cause. whining and complaining about your situation only makes you look bad, when you have the choice to fix it.
PUT THE HAMMER DOWN ON YOUR SUPPLIER TO NOT SELL YOUR DESIGNS TO UTORCH OR ANYONE ELSE. Or partner with a new OEM supplier who respects that request, located in a country that has a legal system in place to defend design ownership rights.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THE E11 STAND OUT FROM THE UT01…RE-FLASH YOUR FIRMWARE TO MAKE THE BATTERY STATUS COME FIRST IN THE BOLD SEQUENCE ABOVE. SO THAT WAY ALL THE USER HAS TO DO IS DOUBLE TAP TO ENTER BATTERY STATUS MODE, AND DOUBLE TAP TO EXIT BACK OUT. IMHO this would be much more useful than disco modes.
