So you want to remove the clip from your FW3A
Ok, you now have your FW3A & you want to remove your clip. To do this you must remove the tailcap. Do it this way & you should experience a harmonious outcome…
1. Remove the head
2. Remove the battery
3. Point the head end of the battery tube at the ceiling
4. Unscrew the tailcap & set it down flat so it stays together
5. Remove the clip
6. Point the head end of the battery tube at the ceiling again
7. Reinstall the tailcap & tighten
8. Reinsert battery in proper orientation, positive (+) toward driver
9. Install head & tighten
10. You should now have an operational clipless FW3A
Thermal Configuration & Protection
Thermal configuration
Look at a thermometer to check the current room temperature. Let us assume it says 21 Celsius Turn the light off and wait for its temperature to settle to room temperature.
Go to TempCheck
When you are in TempCheck, then click 4 times to enter thermal config mode, and calibrate the sensor.
Thermal config mode has two settings:
1. Current temperature Calibration.
- Click once per degree C to calibrate the sensor. For our example, the ambient temperature is 21 C = click 21 times.
2. Temperature limit.
- This sets the maximum temperature the light can reach before it will start doing thermal regulation to keep itself from overheating. Click once per degree C above 30. For example, to set the limit to 50 C, click 20 times.
The default is 45 C (15 clicks).
Hint: If you don’t click, the lamp will leave the value unchanged.
The lowest value the user can set is 31 C, by clicking once.

Protection Features
Some features which aren’t visible on the diagram:
Andúril includes low voltage protection (LVP) and thermal regulation.
- LVP makes the light step down to a lower level when the battery is low, and if the light is already at the lowest level, it shuts itself off.
This activates at 2.8V. LVP adjustments happen suddenly, in large steps.
- Thermal regulation attempts to keeps the light from overheating and otherwise adjusts output to stay as close as possible to the user-configured temperature limit.
Thermal adjustments happen gradually, in steps so small they are difficult for humans to perceive.
It ramps smoothly across 512 internal steps (from 1x7135 to full power) to adjust output while it searches for the highest level it can maintain without overheating.

Momentary Mode
To do this, set the light to your desired output, then turn it off. Click five times to enter ‘momentary’ mode.
NOTE: You’ll need to disconnect power briefly to exit ‘momentary’ mode. Any button presses will just make the light flash. You can’t ramp or enter any other modes while in ‘momentary.’ (by goshdogit)
