Arc 4+ in the COLD???

[MSaxatilus]

I was wondering if anyone else has come across this problem:

I have been leaving my Arc 4+ in my car in the garage overnight. Its been pretty cold up here in the NE and I've noticed in the moring when I get up, the Arc 4+ is flashing, similar to the locator flash option, but dimmer?!?!? I have actually left a thermometer next to it and it seems to be occurring when the temperature drops below 55 or so. Has anyone else noticed this and is this anything I should be concerned about. It seems as though my battery life would be comprimised by flashing when not wanted. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Any thoughts?

This is normal for lights with RFS (ready for service) enabled which is turned ON by default.

See this thread for more information

Cheers!

Tested a 4+ second after exposure to 15 below zero f for a few hours (I park my truck outside). Didn't notice any flashing, just had problems getting my cold thumb to move quickly enough to access menus.

Thanks guys! I'll try turning off the RFS and see what happens. I'll report back here tomorow.

I have tried this simple fix for a couple of days now an I would like to report that I no longer have this problem. Thank you for your advice.
