Specifications
Armytek Viking PRO flashlights were initially designed for Hunters and Special Forces, but are also perfectly
suitable for Camping, Fishing, Diving and other Outdoor activities where a reliable light source is needed. We
develop Armytek Viking PRO flashlights taking into account the highest users' requirements and implement in
the production only the best electronic components produced in the USA and Japan. Updated Cree LEDs (USA)
and reliable electronics supply the effective conversion of power source energy into light, while a durable
anodized aluminium-alloy body and hermetiñ sealing system provide secure protection from external impact.
There are three kinds of Armytek Viking PRO flashlights distinguished by the LED type: white and warm light
(Viking PRO Warm). Following chart specifies the main characteristics of Armytek Viking PRO flashlights,
existing at the moment this manual was released.
* Runtimes were measured to the decrease to 10 % of initial brightness.

Initial Service
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.
We recommend NOT 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.
Warnings
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, including 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 turned on flashlight at people's or animals' eyes – it can cause
temporary blindness.
8. Be careful during the long-time flashlight operation as some parts of the body
may heat up.
9. Do not allow children to use the flashlight without your assistance.
10. Be careful while using rechargeable batteries – Armytek flashlights are
designed to consume all the available battery power and don't protect
batteries from over-discharge.
Armytek Optoelectronics Inc., Canada shall not be liable for any harm done to the user if it was caused by
improper use of the product.

Operation
Armytek Viking PRO flashlight can be turned on in two ways: persistent and tactical. Full pressing of the button
to the click provides the persistent turning on. The flashlight will deliver light till you turn it off with second full
pressing. Tactical turning on is performed by holding the button half pressed. The flashlight will provide light till
the button is released.
Armytek Viking PRO has two mode lines. First Line is accessible when the head of the flashlight is tightly
screwed to the body (it touches the contact ring). To switch to the Second Line, loosen the head on 1/8 of a
circle and wait for 1-2 seconds. To switch to the First Line again tighten the head and wait for 1-2 seconds.
The modes in each mode line are switched cyclically in the order they are set in the flashlight memory. To switch
modes in the First Line quickly (within 1 second) turn the body of the flashlight on 1/8 of a circle counter-
clockwise, and then turn the body clockwise to the maximum.
To switch modes in the Second Line quickly (within 1 second) turn the body of the flashlight on 1/8 of a circle
clockwise to the maximum, and then bring it to the initial position.
On default the following modes are available:
in the First Line: 850 lm, 6 lm, 200 lm
in the Second Line: Strobe (15 Hz), Firefly 1.5 lm
Care and Storage
Service and Warranty
It is recommended to clean the threads and O-ring off dirt and old grease. Remember that secure protection
from water and dust cannot be provided by worn out sealing and fouling as well as lack of lubricant cause fast
wear-out of threads and sealing rings.
To clean the thread do the following:
1. Unscrew the tailcap and remove the sealing ring carefully with a toothpick (do not use sharp metal
things as it 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 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 application in dusty environments it is recommended to perform cleaning and
lubricating of the parts as often as required, even if it is more than twice a year.
