Yeh. I grabbed the narsim .pdf, and in the “advanced configuration” table at the extreme-right, the 2nd option is battery-level by indicator-light only.
Gotta follow the blue arrows, I don’t wanna try “interpreting” it and have you initiate the self-destruct feature.
I don't have a NarsilM light here to test it with, but here it goes:
That's All! 
Good Luck!
Reminds me of the "Baby Groot" scene "Don't Push This Button" in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" (One minute long YouTube link below):
Ok, go back into the advance configuration - first 3 steps only. Don't press anything, but watch how it works - should be 3 settings, watch the blinks, see how it works. Keep in mind the setting you want to change is setting #2, the middle one. Each setting will timeout, then go to the next, when all done it will blink 4 times fast.
So another words, just see how it works -- don't change anything yet. If you feel comfortable recognizing the 3 distinct settings, then we can try setting them.
2 clicks enable, 1 click disables. I think you disabled setting #3 possibly.
So to fix it, you want to enable setting #2 and setting #3. Below is the snippet form the original Q8 manual (.doc file). Not sure, but think this is my version, or based on my version (what I wrote). Hope this all helps!
For Ramping, hold the button for 8 seconds, and for Mode Sets, hold the button for 3.2 seconds to activate the main Configuration UI settings. The light blinks 2 times quickly, and once slowly to indicate Configuration UI mode is active. As listed below, you can change or leave any of these settings – there’s no need to set each one. Clicks choose the value for each setting, and each click will blink the light to acknowledge the click. If you disable Ramping, then the next setting will be #2 under Mode Sets, and vice versa. If no clicks are entered in 3.5 seconds, the light jumps to the next configuration setting indicated by 2 quick blinks and slow blinks of the number for what setting it is (ex: 3 slow blinks means the 3rd setting). You can bypass the timeout by doing a press&hold to skip to the next setting. If you continue to hold it, it will exit configuration UI settings mode altogether, indicated by 4 quick blinks.
For thermal stepdown, the main LEDs will go to max output, if you click in under 5 secs, the set temperature will be unaffected, but more than 5 secs, the current temperature reading will be recorded as the new temperature to use for the stepdown – be sure you set it high enough – light should be hot enough to barely hold, or even hotter. Factory default temperature is 55C, but calibration will vary from unit to unit. When timed stepdown is chosen, it will blink, prompting to enter the choice of time, 1-7 clicks as described below.
To reset settings to factory defaults, in firmware version # display, press&hold for at least 1.2 seconds.

Activated from Battery Check mode by doing a press&hold for at least 1.2 seconds. The light blinks twice quickly, and once slowly. 3 settings summarized below, and operates the same as the main configuration UI.

Here is what the menu looks like.
I did 2 clicks in the first menu option (enable locator function), but in your instance you want to do 2 clicks in the second menu option.
It does:
2 fast blinks and 1 slow
2 fast blinks and 2 slow
2 fast blinks and 3 slow
Ignore the fast blinks and count the slow ones. Make sure you see the confirmation blink when you do your clicks. Change one thing at a time.
Thanx Jason for the vid and info! Keep on forgetting about your vids - lots of resources around.
It’s not too hard for me to do a video on a very specific menu function for NarsilM or Anduril. I think the video above is close enough to figure it out.
If anyone needs a very specific video, let me know.
Anyone here a fan of “The Great Escape” movie?
I just watched it again recently and got to thinking… is there anything Cooler (McQueen) could’ve done differently in the motorcycle chase scene? I was thinking he should’ve broken into that small barn and hid with the motorcycle until very early morning the next day to make a run for Switzerland.
So the question — what do you think Cooler could’ve done differently to effect a successful escape?
I haven't seen it in decades, and I don't have an answer for your question, but I love the movie The Great Escape.
Thanks. I figured I’d ask it here, since this is the “no stupid question” topic. 
I agree, it’s a great movie… and I’d had about an 8 year gap on seeing it. I did fast-forward through parts. When you’re familiar enough with a movie & watching it alone, no point in having to “wait” for the parts you really want to see. 
I was thinking similarly, to hide in that barn, sneak over to the wall-o’-wire and try to get through it with the ’cycle late at night, when no one was around.
Always wondered how Stonn (Lawrence Montaigne) got caught. He was good to go on the train, and then…??
Glad it worked out! 
Can I direct drive 3 219b’s off a vapcell 9A 18350 safely?
The title of the thread means the OP has never been in my neck of the woods. Stupid questions around here abound.
You might try asking M4D M4X. I think he has a 219b FW3A and he has a lot of 18350 cells. Last I heard it was a bit iffy with high drain 18650, but the 18350 might be okay. He might know for sure.
I think M4X might be on vacation. Try asking in the FW3A thread. They sell a 219C version which I think has similar characteristics to the 219B.
Cooler set a pattern familiar with the guards.
Are you asking a question? I’m lost.
