Armytek Optoelectronics Inc. is a Canadian manufacturer that produces powerful and reliable flashlights designed especially for your
needs. The components made in the USA and Japan. .10 years no-hassle warranty
§Amazing brightness in four different sizes and with various power sources.
§Extreme beam distance for such a compact tactical light.
§TIR-optics for smooth light beam without sharp edges. No «tunnel vision» effect after continuous use.
§Solid and impact-resistant body ensures the flashlights’ efficiency even after the fallings from the height of 10 meters and harsh
impacts.
§The highest standard of water- and dustproof IP68 – submersion to the depth up to 10 meters.
§Compact size and small weight perfect for constant carrying in the bag, pocket or on the belt.
§Compatible with original remote switches and weapon mounts.
We DO NOT RECOMMEND to use LOW-QUALITY CR123A batteries as a power source for often and continuous flashlight’s
operation. Remember that old or low-quality disposal batteries can be damaged under heavy load and explode.
* Light output for flashlights with Warm light are about 7% less, beam distances are about 3% less.
1. Always follow the instructions from this manual and recommendations on battery usage.
2. Apply only the recommended power sources.
3. Do not reverse battery polarity.
4. Do not use different power sources together, i.e. old ones with new ones, charged with
discharged. Do not use different types of batteries combined as the element with less
capacity can be damaged.
5. Do not modify or recast the flashlight and its components as it will deprive you of the
warranty.
6. Do not allow water or any other liquid to leak into the flashlight.
7. Do not aim a switched-on flashlight at people's or animals' eyes – it can cause temporary
blindness.
8. Do not allow children to use the flashlight without your assistance.
The producer will not be liable for any harm done to the user if it was caused by
improper use of the product.
Care and Storage
Service and Warranty
Do not disassemble the flashlight except for unscrewing the thread ring gage and replacing the rubber button. There are no
other parts in the flashlight that can be replaced by the user.
It is recommended to clean the threads and O-rings off dirt and old grease once or twice per year. Remember that reliable protection
from water and dust cannot be provided by worn out sealing. The fouling as well as lack of lubricant cause fast wear-out of threads and
sealing rings. To clean the threads do the following:
1. Unscrew the tailcap and remove the sealing ring carefully with a toothpick (do not use sharp metal things as they can damage the ring).
2. Wipe the sealing ring thoroughly with a soft cloth (or tissue). Do not use solvents. If the sealing ring is worn out or damaged
replace it by a new one.
3. Clean the metal threads with a brush using ethanol. Be careful not to allow the applied liquid to get inside the flashlight or tailcap as
it can cause fails in functionality of the flashlight.
After cleaning lubricate the thread and the sealing ring with polyalphaolefin-based silica grease, e.g. Nyogel 760G.The application of
automotive and other improper grease can cause swelling and damage of the sealing rings.
In case of active operation and exploitation in dusty environments, it is recommended to perform cleaning and lubricating of the parts
as often as required.
Armytek provides free warranty repair for 10 years (excluding batteries, chargers, switches and connectors which have 2 years
warranty) from the date of buy with the document confirming the purchase.
Guarantee does not extend to damage during:
1. Improper usage.
2. Attempts to modify or repair the flashlight by nonqualified specialists.
3. Longtime application in chlorinated or polluted water, or other liquids (other than water).
4. High temperatures and chemicals' exposure (including the exposure of liquid from defected batteries).
5. Usage of low-quality batteries.
In case the rubber button is damaged, it should be replaced. You can also replace the switch with
the spring in the same way. Replacement order:
1. Unscrew the tailcap.
2. Unscrew the first washer inside it to take out the switch. To do so you should use needle-
nose pliers (round-nose pliers or another tool, the most suitable will be expansion pliers).
Use the tool as it is shown at the picture. To replace the rubber button unscrew the second
washer under the switch.
3. Replace the rubber button and assemble the parts in inverse sequence.

Set description Operation
The flashlight has two operational variants:
Turbo – permanently switched light at Turbo mode (activated by click with the head of the flashlight tightened up). It's an easy and
comfortable operational mode for Hunters, especially when the flashlight is used with a remote switch.
Additional – permanently or intermittently switched light at one of the Additional modes at user's choice (activated by click with the
head of the flashlight unscrewed to 1/8). Additional modes: Firefly, Main1, Main2, Main3, Strobe (hidden).

used Additional mode.
Cycling through Additional modes.
To switch the mode turn the flashlight off and on (by full click
or half-pressing). The modes switch cyclically: Firefly - Main1
- Main2 - Main3 - Strobe (if enabled).
Adding Strobe to Additional modes.
Strobe is a hidden mode which you can add or remove from
the additional modes at your choice. To enable (remove)
Strobe: when the flashlight is ON unscrew and tighten up the
head of the flashlight at least 10 times (while rotation you will
change the modes). The pause must be <1 sec.

Initial Service
We DO NOT RECOMMEND to leave power sources inside the flashlight for a long storage period, as batteries (especially, non-rechargeable)
can leak for various reasons and damage the inner parts of the flashlight. If you want to keep your flashlight in a stand-by state with batteries
in, use new and quality batteries, store the flashlight in acceptable for batteries operational temperature and revise the batteries' state at least
once a month. If you have noticed any signs of batteries' defects, withdraw them from the flashlight and take out of operation. It is also
recommended to replace discharged batteries with new ones before the storage as the chance of leakage is higher with discharged batteries.
To set/replace batteries:
1. Unscrew the tailcap.
2. Place the batteries with the positive contact (+) facing the head of the flashlight.
3. Adjust the tailcap and tighten it as far as it can go.

Automemorizing. After switching off the last used Mode is memorized for quick 1-click access at next switching on.
Lock-out function. Unscrew the tailcap to 1/4 for the protection from accidental switching on.
Low Battery Indication. If the brightness is <25% from the nominal value, the LED flashes 2 times ONCE (after 30sec from switching
on). If you are not sure if it flashed or not switch the flashlight off and on: in case the battery is low flashes will repeat. Light output
decreases to Firefly mode at critical level.
Active temperature control (for Partner C2/C4 only). The flashlight can quickly heat up in Turbo mode. When the temperature becomes
+60°C – the brightness decreases by small steps. After cooling-down (provided that battery voltage is sufficient) the brightness
increases to the Turbo mode again. This stepping goes cyclically to maintain the user's safety and the flashlight's functionality. In
conditions of good air-cooling the flashlight delivers light without stepping down even in Turbo mode. There are no preset timers for
stepping, but real-time active temperature measurements.
