Is the Nitecore MT1C waterproof?

Yes, it is rated IPX-8, meaning it can be submerged in water up to 2 meters deep for 30 minutes.

What is the beam distance of the MT1C?

The maximum beam distance is 238 meters (on Turbo mode).

How to switch modes on the MT1C?

The tail clicky switch controls on/off and mode changes: half-press to cycle through modes, full click to turn on/off.

What is the weight of the MT1C?

The flashlight weighs 39 grams without battery and 61 grams with a 16340 battery.

Does the MT1C have a strobe function?

Yes, it includes Strobe (fast flashing), SOS, and Beacon (slow flashing at 0.5 Hz) modes.

What material is the MT1C body made of?

The body is aerospace-grade aluminum alloy with a Type III hard-anodized finish for durability.

Can I use a CR123A battery in the MT1C?

Yes, the MT1C is compatible with CR123A batteries, but performance (lumens and runtime) may be lower compared to a 16340 Li-ion.

NOTICE

Stated data has been measured according to the international flashlight testing standards ANSI/NEMA FL1 using one SYSMAX CR123 battery (3V, 1550mAh) under laboratory conditions. The data may vary due to individual usage habits and environmental conditions.

Operation instructions

Battery Installation (as the picture shows)

1. Unscrew the tail cap in a counter-clockwise direction.
2. Insert one lithium CR123 battery with the positive pole pointing forward (toward the light head).

WARNING

Ensure batteries are inserted with the positive (+) end pointing to the head. The MT1C will not operate with incorrectly inserted batteries.

Switching ON/OFF

Switch ON: Press the button on the tailcap until a "click" is heard. Switch OFF: Press the button at the tailcap until a second time until a "click" is heard.

Mode Switching

The Nitecore MT1C has two modes: Turbo and user-defined. These two modes can be changed by simply tightening and loosening the flashlight head. Turbo provides 100% output while user-defined users contains five selectable sub-modes.

Turbo Mode

Turbo mode is accessed when the MT1C flashlight is switched ON and the head lightly tightened. While in this mode, momentary illumination can be achieved by switching off the flashlight and then half pressing and holding the switch. Momentary illumination can be used as a flashing signal indicator or apply to various tactical applications.

Note: After three minutes' using of turbo mode, the flashlight will lower its output automatically for preventing overheating, and efficiently ensure the battery runtime.

User-Defined Mode

User-defined mode is accessed by slightly loosening the flashlight head. In this mode, lightly and rapidly pressing the switch will cycle through brightness and other functions in the following order: "High-Mid-Low- SOS-Strobe". Pressing the switch all the way down will save and memorize a desired setting.

Tips: Make NITECORE MT1C your perfect multi-task flashlight.

NITECORE MT1C flashlights essentially have two modes: Turbo mode (100% output) and custom mode. Turbo mode is accessed by tightening the flashlight head while any of one of the four customizable modes (strobe, low, medium and high) are selected by loosening the head and rapidly pressing the on/off switch to cycle through the modes. A given mode can be saved by simply turn off the light while in that mode. Real-world examples include: When used as a flashlight around the home, the head can be loosened and low level selected in custom mode, providing long runtimes at a lower light intensity. The same flashlight could then be taken out and used a law-enforcement duty light, with user-defined mode set in strobe, making it easy to alternate between turbo mode and strobe with a simple twist of the flashlight head.

Maintenance

Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a thin coating of silicon-based lubricant.
