SmartSwitchâ„¢ 2.0
The S3 Series are the world’s first and only hand held lasers equipped with SmartSwitch ™ technology.
SmartSwitch ™ combines both safety and intelligence by requiring the user to follow a protocol of simple clicks and click/ holds to operate the device.
Once unlocked, the laser runs in low power strobe mode (18Hz strobe) which is the default setting designed for safety.

To prevent accidental and unauthorized use the laser has to be unlocked with a software key input after clicking the power switch on the tailcap.
The SmartSwitch™ system exceeds all FDA safety requirements for Class IV lasers and places Wicked Lasers at the forefront of laser product safety feature technology.
