MADE FOR DUMMIES BY A DUMMY:crackup:
This post is of use only by PL-D JETLASERS owners only( and afaik I have the only three so far)
pics added asap-----
***********************************************So...with the battery in (positive to the tail)and the black pin in the tailcap and orange button pressed ---THEN- press and hold blue button to make the led lights blink three times. You need to stop pressing as or before the third time the lights blink.
Stop.
Then press again once lightly and just for a short press-you should see one blink of the leds.
stop .
then do that again--
now if you have done that right the laser should come on right away or when you press once the blue button.
IF not start over with the three blinks.
:tsk:
ONCE the laser is lasing...:angel:
when you press the blue button once-you will get one power- if you then press the grey button the laser will pulse(slow strobe)at the same power-
press the grey button and the pulse stops and goes back to CW.
Press the blue and the power will change and again the grey will take you to pulse at that power and back when pressed again.
Press the blue once again and you will see the last power- and again to see pulsed press the grey for pulse and again to go back to CW.
To shut down the laser for a short while but leave ready to use just press the blue button for two or three seconds then release the laser should turn off..
the laser will stop but the leds and blue light will remain on-- dont worry they do not use up the battery very much.:undecided:
To shut down the laser completely simply press the orange button. To make it completely safe remove the black pin near the orange button on the tailcap.
Each laser wavelenght and power may have a different duty/rest cycle- see your manual(on-line for your correct cycle):yh:
While most PL-Cs and PL-Ds take one 18650 neg to the front some like the 445s and 405s use TWO 16340s.
Powerful lasers use a lot of power-:yabbem:
And their batteries need recharging if appearing dimmer or you see flickering. IF you meter your battery and it has dropped below 3.4 volts you need to recharge.
After you go through these steps a few times it becomes no problem- the laser is quite safe in anyones hands when completely off-(G.L. figuring the above out alone)And you have no keys to keep (or lose).
With the tailpin removed the lasr is totally safe- if not being used for a long period remove the battery.:beer:
This is the easy way to operate the new JETLASERS PL-D with the SuperSwitch. .... so easy a cave man can do it(once you know the steps)
edit...........
Quick important note
While some kind of sticker etc to keep dust out of the opening in theTi-b and PL-D(or for that matter any laser with nothing in place to keep dust out) may be a good idea... be VERY sure you take it off BEFORE entering the code- the PL-D(and Ti-B or any laser w/o a shutter) laser is not as easy or quick to shut down and you can smoke the sticker real fast- I am rethinking even using one. I had a close call with my 445/1W PL-D. If come across a better way I will share it- you plz do same.
Maybe a plastic slide-on cap-- you could make a small hole in the center and JB Weld a small piece of the JETL glass diff grate over the hole- dual purpose.
