Normal operation of the Q8 has the switch led’s stay lit when the Q8 is turned off. However, if you are using ramping mode there is a simple way to get the switch led’s to remain off when the light is turned off. I am not sure if this can be done with the Q8 set to discrete, non ramping, modes.
Turn on the light. Then ramp up or down and then very quickly click the switch to turn off the light. When done quick enough the light turns off and the switch led’s stay off too.
That might take some practice but I can now make the switch led’s remain off whenever I want.
Thanks guys , MtnDon i understand but now I have another problem In my second Q8 if turn off Q8 leds in no light ? So, maybe my second sweety have defect ?
That is normal. I think it was said it will last for years with the indicator lit.If you would like to turn it off, do 4 short clicks. That locks it out, and you have to do 4 short clicks to turn it back on. I think there is somewhere in the configuration to turn it off, permanently.
When your second Q8 is shut off the switch led’s do not come on? Do the switch led’s blink twice after you have the cells and screwed the body into the head? They are supposed to blink twice when the cells are first connected.
Also do the switch led’s blink if you do a battery check. (Click the switch three times quickly. The led’s at the switch should blink out the voltage. (Like 3 blinks,a pause and then 8 blinks for partially depleted cells; 4 blinks and a pause then 2 blinks for fully charged cells.) The main illumination led’s will also blink. Does that make the switch led’s blink?
It appears that the indicator led is turned off. Everything else appears to be working, and the indicator leds do work. Download the NarsilM Reference.pdf , look at the bottom under Advanced Configuration UI Operation It will tell you how to enable/disable the indicator led.
Restore to Factory Settings
This is a feature, undocumented in the user manual, that will restore all configuration settings to factory defaults, in the
state as originally shipped. It comes in handy in case there’s any doubts of how the light is configured. To access this
feature, while displaying the firmware number (dbl click for voltage display, then dbl click for temperature display, then
dbl click for version display), press&hold the switch until the light blinks quickly – this acknowledges the configuration
settings have been reset to factor defaults.
yes, do the simple restore to factory settings as stated above. After doing this, the green LEDs should be ON! If not, you have a problem as others have had.
