4.2 Advanced Features (Anduril UI 2)

Anduril UI 2 offers numerous advanced features, including stepped ramping, various strobe modes (e.g., tactical strobe, party strobe, bike flasher), candle mode, sunset mode, and battery check. A detailed diagram for the full Anduril UI 2 is available online. Some key functions include:

  • Battery Check: From off, quickly click the side switch three times to activate battery voltage indication.
  • Electronic Lockout: From off, quickly click the side switch four times to engage electronic lockout. Repeat to unlock. This prevents accidental activation.
  • Temperature Calibration: The flashlight's temperature regulation can be calibrated through the user interface for optimal performance. Refer to the detailed Anduril UI 2 manual for specific instructions on this process.

5. Maintenance

5.1 General Care

Keep the flashlight clean, especially the threads and O-rings. Lubricate O-rings periodically with silicone grease to maintain water resistance. Avoid dropping the flashlight or subjecting it to severe impacts.

5.2 Battery Care

Use only recommended 21700 or 18650 (with adapter) lithium-ion batteries. Store the flashlight with a partially charged battery if not used for extended periods. Avoid over-discharging or over-charging the battery, though the flashlight has built-in protection mechanisms.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Flashlight does not turn on:
    • Ensure the battery's insulating paper has been removed.
    • Check if the battery is inserted correctly with the positive end towards the head.
    • Verify the battery is charged.
    • Tighten the tailcap and head securely.
    • Check if electronic lockout is active (four clicks to unlock).
  • Brightness steps down unexpectedly:
    • The flashlight features intelligent temperature control. If the unit becomes too hot, it will automatically reduce output to prevent damage.
    • Low Voltage Protection (LVP) will also cause the light to step down to a lower level when the battery voltage drops below 2.8V, indicating a low battery.
    • Consider calibrating the temperature sensor via the Anduril UI 2 for optimal thermal management.
  • Charging indicator not working:
    • Ensure the USB-C cable is properly connected to both the flashlight and the power source.
    • Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter.
