Varia Radar missing flash mode on RTL 501

I just received Varia back radar light, and looks great and could not be more happier. But when I turn on, only fix light mode is available. There is no flash mode.

When I look at the instructions, I see that flash mode is only available on type RTL 500, and mine is RTL 501. I assume that 501 is newer model than 500. From where I bought, there is only 501 model, same for the bundle version. Why would they remove the flash mode as it it far better option than fix light mode. It would also have longer battery duration time.

The biggest question is: Can I somehow get flash mode on my RTL 501, or not? Because if it is not possible, then sadly the product will probably go back. I normally use flash mode and in my country (Slovenia) it is permited to use flash mode. But I bought it from Germany. Is it there illegal? If yes, than it is upon the consumer to use the full lights mode.

Probably through firmware it should be possible to get flash mode, or not? What are my options?

Can someone please help me ASAP. Thanks.
