Thank you for choosing Vulta.

The Vulta Hurricane FG-E15 projects a crisp, white light with a 262-lumen maximum output. Designed as a reliable, general-purpose flashlight, the FG-E15's four constant-on modes provide a range of illumination options depending on your needs—whether it's sending a bright beam of light down the street or a low glow for reading a map on the side of the highway. In addition to the constant-on modes, there are strobe and SOS modes for emergency situations and signal communication. The intuitive variable-control ring activates the flashlight and changes modes and output power.

The Hurricane FG-E15 incorporates the CREE XM-L2, a breakthrough LED

market-leader, which combines high efficiency with high drive-current. The LED is housed in an ultraclear, tempered glass lens that optimizes resistance to impacts and scratches and maximizes throw distance.

Crafted from MIL-SPEC Type III hard anodized aluminum alloy, and with a waterproof rating of IPX-8, the Hurricane FG-E15 is a rugged tool that will withstand harsh environments. The fixed titanium-alloy clip can mount the unit for hands-free use and easy transportation. And at only 3" long, this compact, everyday-carry flashlight is just at home in a pocket as it is in a pocketbook.

A Note about Maximum Output

When the flashlight is in High mode, the battery discharge, drive circuit, and LED will all be producing heat, and the lamp head may become extremely hot. Please be cautious when touching it. To protect the battery, circuit, and LED, and to extend the lifetime of the flashlight, we do not recommend continuously running the flashlight on High mode for more than 10 minutes.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

The Hurricane FG-E15 is powered by a single disposable or rechargeable 3 or 3.7 V CR123 battery.

To install a battery, follow these steps:

1. Grasp the heat sink area, and unscrew the grip to remove it.
2. Insert the battery with the positive terminal facing the lamp head.
3. Screw the lamp head back onto the grip until secure.

OPERATION

The Hurricane FG-E15 employs a variable-control ring to activate the flashlight, control output power, and engage the strobe and SOS modes.

TURNING ON THE FG-E15

To turn on the FG-E15, rotate the variable-control ring clockwise. The flashlight will immediately emit light when powered on.

SETTING THE MODE

High/Medium/Low: There are three basic constant-on modes: High, Medium, and Low. Rotate the variable-control ring so it clicks into place as it rests under the markings for each of the three settings to set the output power.

Turbo: Turbo is the fourth constant-on mode and is accessible only when using a rechargeable 3.7 V CR123 battery. This mode is ideal for temporary maximum brightness. To engage Turbo mode, rotate the variable-control ring so it rests under the High-mode

marking. After 3 minutes, the flashlight will enter High mode in order to prevent overheating.

Note: Turbo mode is accessible only when using a rechargeable 3.7 V CR123 battery. When using a rechargeable 3 V CR123 battery or a disposable 3 or 3.7 V CR123 battery, the flashlight will default to High mode.

Strobe and SOS: Strobe mode continuously emits quick flashes of bright light. In SOS mode, the flashlight blinks brightly in the international Morse code distress signal pattern ( ·s - - - ·s ). To enter Strobe mode, start with the flashlight powered on and in High mode. Quickly rotate the variable-control ring past the Medium-mode marker, and then back to the High-mode marker. Repeat these steps when in Strobe mode to enter SOS mode.

O-RING MAINTENANCE

The Hurricane FG-E15's O-ring is installed on the threaded portion to help seal out water. The O-ring is prelubricated to extend its lifetime, ensure smooth operation, and increase water resistance. If the O-ring dries out or there is little or no lubricant on it, we recommend applying a small amount of O-ring lubricant.

The FG-E15 comes with a replacement O-ring. If the original wears out after long-term use, replace it with the included spare.
