Anduril Factory Reset
When playing around with an Anduril flashlight like the Emisar D4V2 or D4SV2, you’ll eventually come to a point when you’ve realized that you’ve fiddled with the configurations and no longer know what you’ve set them to.
What I do when this happens is I do a Factory Reset so I have a baseline for where I am rather than go through the different modes and menus to find out the state my light’s configuration.
Reasons for doing a Factory Reset
- When getting a new Anduril light, you should do a factory reset to calibrate the thermal sensor
- After a while of using your light, you may forget how you’ve configured it, so it’s easiest to just do a factory reset
- After upgrading/flashing the firmware, you should do a factory reset
What will be reset
When you do a Factory Reset, the following will happen:
- Reset all configuration: All the settings and configuration options will be reset to their defaults.
- Temperature Auto-calibration: The thermal sensor will measure the ambient temperature and save the reading to temperature to 21°C (~70°F).
What version of Anduril is this for?
- All versions of Anduril 2
- Anduril 1 on versions later than 2019-07-15
Tailcap Method
This is the method I prefer to use, especially for the D4V2. For some lights with tail switches, I’ve found it a lot easier to instead use the 13 Click Method.
The steps for this method are:
- Loosen the tailcap
Holdthe button- Tighten the tailcap and keep holding the button for 4 seconds
The light should flicker while getting brighter, then briefly burst to full power. Hold until it reaches full power to do a reset, or let go of the button early to abort.
13 Click Method
This method works better for me on lights like the Noctigon KR1:
- Ensure the light is Off
- Enter:
13H
