* Light output for flashlights with Warm light are about 7% less, beam distances are about 3% less.
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.
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.
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.
The flashlight will get hot in Turbo mode quickly and discharge the battery by high current. Don't leave it without your attention as very
bright light can heat objects and be a cause of the fire.
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.

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
discharge current of the battery don't exceed critical values.
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.
Multicolor Voltage Indication. Shows the battery level by
short flashes every 5 seconds. There is no Voltage Indication
in OFF state and Firefly modes.
Warning Indication – 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 brightness will be <25%
from nominal value, the main LED will flash 2 times. Critical
battery level <10% is red indicated once a second.
