I.B.S. User Interface Instructions

The following are instructions on how to operate the new I.B.S. User Interface on the 2008 JETBeam models:


Mode Switching:
There are three modes on the I.B.S system---A,B and C. Under default, A is High brightness, B is Low brightness, and C is the strobe. When switched on each time, the light enters mode A. Lightly press the tail cap button, the light will go from mode A -> B -> C in cycle.


Entering the Program Menu:
Aside of the three default modes, The I.B.S. sytem can be adjusted to different levels of brightness and functions according to different requirements of users. Lightly press onto the tail cap button three times within a second on any mode (A,B or C), and the light enters the program menu for that mode, users can now set any level of brightness or strobe functions for that certain mode. (e.g. Users lightly press the tail cap button three times continuously when on A, then the light enters Program Menu, and user can now set any brightness level or strobe function for this mode; Likewise, if users enter from B, then you can set another brightness level or strobe function for mode B; etc.)


There are also three other functions included in this Hidden Menu---Brightness Setting, Strobe Functions Selecting and Reset Function.

Brightness Setting:
After entering the Hidden Menu, the light goes into the Brightness Setting directly. Under this menu, the brightness will go from Min to Max gradually, and stop at Max, then go back to Min and repeat the process, one cycle takes about 8 seconds. During this process, the light flickers once at Min, and twice at 50% output; and three times at Max (100%) to remind users the current brightness level. Users can switch off the light at any level you prefer, wait for more than 2 seconds and switch back on, then the brightness you chose will be memorized as the mode from which you enter the Hidden Menu. Users can set different brightness levels for all the three modes according to preference.


Special Functions Selecting:
After entering the Brightness Setting item of the Program Menu, lightly press the tail cap button once, the light enters the Special Functions Selecting. Under this item, the light will perform all the strobe functions automatically. It first goes from 1HZ strobe to 15HZ strobe, which takes about 8 seconds. Then it goes on to other functions, including warning signal, standby signal (it strobes once every 8 seconds to remind the position of the light), 100% SOS and 5% SOS. If users would like to select any of the special function for the certain mode, only switch off the light under that function, and wait more than 2 seconds to switch back on, then the function will be memorized.


Combined with the Brightness Setting, users not only have various brightness choice, but also Strobe functions for different usage according to preferences.


Reset Function:
After entering the Special Functions Selecting item of the Hidden Menu, lightly press the tail cap button once, the light enters Reset Function. Users switch off the light, and wait for more than 2 seconds to switch on, it resumes the default modes of A B C from factory (A: High brightnes; B:Low brightness; C: Warning Signal). If users do not need to reset, then lightly press the tail cap button once again, the light will go back to Brightness Setting item of the Hidden Menu. You can also reset by simply removing the batteries and waiting a few seconds, then reinstall batteries and light will go back to default setting.
