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
1. 2. 3.
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.
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 from the date of purchase.
Warranty doesn't cover damage caused by:
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.
The producer will not be liable for any harm done to the user if it was caused by
improper use of the product.
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.
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 then use new and high-quality batteries and 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 then withdraw them from the flashlight and utilize. It is also
recommended to replace discharged batteries with new ones before the storage as the chance of leakage is higher with discharged batteries.

Specifications
* Light outputs for flashlights with Warm light are about 7% less, beam distances are about 3% less.
We DO NOT RECOMMEND to use low-quality CR123A batteries, because they can explode. Turbo mode needs rechargeable
18650 Li-Ion batteries without PCB (unprotected) or with PCB which guarantees 7A discharge current for stable work.

Operation
The flashlight has 2 buttons. Tactical button (in the tailcap) switches the flashlight on/off. Side button changes the modes only.
Digital Light Stabilization & Safe Soft-Start System monitors battery voltage, starts the flashlight at an admissible brightness or
decreases it by steps when the voltage dramatically fall down. These actions increase runtime, use all available energy, get longer
lifetime of rechargeable battery and protect it from overdischarge or overheating.
Warning indication shows the battery level and the temperature inside the flashlight.
Low battery level. When it is < 25%, the color LED will show the warning level – flashing in orange color once in 2 second. With a further
voltage reducing brightness will start to decrease in steps for safety of the battery and user. If the brightness will be <25% from nominal
value, the main LED will flash 2 times ONCE. Critical battery level <10% is red indicated once a second.
High temperature (for Partner C2/C4 Pro only). When it increases to the warning level – the color LED flashes by orange 3 times once in
2 seconds. At critical level it flashes by red 3 times once in 1 second, brightness starts to reduce. After cooling down the brightness –
increases to usual level.

Momentary on. The flashlight is switched on by half-pressing of
tactical button and stays active till the button is released. It is
suitable for giving signals by short button pressings. Click the
button to switch the light on permanently.
Cycling through modes. To switch the mode click the side
button.The modes switch cyclically: Firefly – Main1 – Main2 –
Main3 – Turbo.
Strobe:
When the flashlight is ON (at any permanent light mode) press
and hold the side button to turn on the last used Strobe mode.
Press and hold the side button again. The modes switch
cyclically: Strobe1 – Strobe2.
To switch to the last used permanent light mode click the side
button once.
How to change Turbo1 & Turbo2:
There are two Turbo modes. You will use only one, but can
select which one. Turbo2 is boost mode for maximal brightness
and set by default. Turbo1 is constant brightness mode (more
powerful than Main modes). Half press & release the button
(without click) at least 15 times. The flashlight must be
switched on at the end of these actions. The light will flash 1 or 2
times to show the number of Turbo chosen.
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. State Indication will be turned off.
Constant light. Powerful electronics provide constant
brightness even in the Turbo1 mode, using all energy of the
battery. And the Turbo2 mode gives the maximum brightness
as the Overboost technology in cars, but until temperature of a
flashlight and a discharge current of the battery don't exceed
critical values.
Active temperature control (for Partner C2/C4 Pro only). The
flashlight can heat up in Turbo mode quickly. When the
temperature become +60ºC 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.
