I just got a Predator yesterday and unfortunately didn't get the instruction sheet (or pocket clip :() with it. I'm not the brightest guy when it comes to electronics and this one looks tough! I found Officer Sheepdogs youtube - thanks a ton for that! :thumbsup: I still have a few basic questions though to confirm I'm on the right track:
1. (T/F) The Predator has (2) lines of various modes referred to as "First line" and "Second line?"
2. (T/F) Each line can have anywhere from 1 - 10 different modes in them?
3. (T/F) Switching between "lines" and switching between "modes" is done in the same way by rotating the body of the flashlight 1/18 - 1/4 of a turn?
4. (T/F) If I initially turn the flashlight on with the bezel tight, that means the flashlight will come on in the First Line? And if the flashlight is off and I turn the flashlight on with the head loose, that means the flashlight will come on in the 2nd line?
Bottom line what I am trying to achieve is to have the same 6 modes on both lines: .5 lm, 1.5, 6, 40, 300, Max but with the head tight from Hi to low and with the head loose, from low to high. (In the dark, under pressure, I want to be confident when the light comes on with the bezel tight it will be full power, and when I turn it on with the head loose it will be firefly mode.)
Also I don't want automemorization.
Last question, I'm sure 95% of the time I will be using it with 18650's BUT occasionally I get in a jam and need 2 CR123's. Will I hurt anything/blow anything up if I don't change which battery to use? I'm fine with it not being the optimal setting.
Thanks so much for any help with these questions!
