I got a few PMs and questions about the cheat sheet.
Some people seem to have problems to understand the tables and the manual.
I would point out that the normal operation in RAMPING and MODES is very different.
If you look in the first table of the cheat sheet you will see that only the commands for ON and OFF are the same.
I didn’t expect this. I thought a few commands like turbo and moon are the same.
Some people had a problem to switch OFF, lamp seems not respond to click:
Timing of click for off, hold the switch just a tad too long and the Q8 will not register it as shut down command but treat it as a very short ramp command. Your light is not broken. Please try a very fast and short click.
People did asked for examples with complete click-ology.
Best would be to have a lot of subtitles in the video.
Reset to factory in RAMPING:
3x, 2x, 2x, press&hold (for 1.2sec) till 4 blinks
Reset to factory in MODES:
1x, click&hold (for 2.5 sec), 2x, 2x, press&hold (for 1.2sec) till 4 blinks
Switch from MODES to RAMPING
(while holding, the lamp goes into strobes, that’s normal)
hold for 3.2sec, after two short blinks and one blink, 2x.
The lamp continues to blink out configuration for RAMPING.
Switch from RAMPING to MODES
(you hold for a long time, please ramp down, it’s easier on the eyes)
hold for 8sec, after two short blinks and one blink, 1x.
The lamp continues to blink out configuration for MODES.
Strobe Modes:
The normal way (RAMPING: 2x, 2x, Y clicks [Y= 1…4] ) is time sensitive because of the lock in modes. And I got PMs people are not quick enough for the Y clicks, because the Y have to be done right after the second double click.
If navigation is hard, try:
RAMPING from off/on:
Double click, double click, 4 clicks in a row. Now you are in the 5th strobe = 10 sec beacon.
MODES from off/on:
Longhold (over 1,2sec), 4 clicks in a row. Now you are in the 5th strobe
Now you can go back via click&hold. You can go back 4 times, then comes OFF.
If you go backwards you have time to do this.
For RAMPING:
If you want to remember how many clicks to go to B attery = 3 clicks
The B and 3 look quite similar.
Ups, that got lengthy
Sorry Joe
