What kind of LEDs are used in HM65R-T V2.0?

A Luminus SST40 white light LED and a OSRAM GW PUSTA1.PM warm white light LED; with a lifespan of 50,000 hours each.

What is the color temperature of HM65R-T V2.0?

The color temperature of white light is around 6500K, the color temperature of warm white light is around 3000K.

What is the operating voltage of HM65R-T V2.0?

The operating voltage is 2.7V~8.4V. The operating current is 12mA~5000mA.

Is HM65R-T V2.0 rechargeable? How long is the charging time?

The included 3400mAh is rechargeable. Uncover the anti-dust cap and plug the USB Type-C side of the charging cable into the charging port of the lamp to charge the battery. The charging time of the included Fenix ARB-L18-3400 is about 3 hours from depleted to fully charged with a 5V/2A charging adapter.

How to prevent accidentally activate the HM65R-T V2.0?

Lock: With the lamp switched off, simultaneously press and hold the two switches for 3 seconds, the lamp will blink 4 times on the Eco output of warm white light
mode to indicate locked status.

Unlock: With the lamp locked, simultaneously press the two switches for 3 seconds, the lamp will be activated with 4 blinks and activates on the Eco output of warm
white light mode. In locked status, clicking or pressing the switches will activate 4 blinks on the Eco output of warm white light mode to indicate locked status. *When the charging cable is plugged in, the lamp unlocks automatically in switched-off status. The Low output of white light mode and warm white light mode can be operated while charging.

Why does the HM65R-T V2.0 downshift to a lower mode after being used for a while and the higher mode cannot be selected?

There are two reasons:
1. Intelligent Overheat Protection
The lamp will accumulate a lot of heat when used at relatively high output levels for extended periods. When the lamp reaches a temperature of 60°C or above, the lamp will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature.

2. Low-voltage Warning
When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the headlamp is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Eco output is reached.

What kind of battery can be used in HM65R-T V2.0?

A: Fenix ARB-L18-3400 battery is recommended. Compatible with 2 x CR123A batteries. Other Li-ion batteries are not recommended. As High output fail to
headlamp up due to current and voltage limitation, an unmatched battery may cause the headlamp to fail to work normally.

The Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 is a lightweight trail running headlamp. This summary is drawn from the manufacturer's official user manual — see the downloadable PDF reference manual on the product page for complete details.

Warning

• Do NOT place this headlamp within the reach of children!
• Do NOT shine the headlamp directly into the eyes of anyone!
• Do NOT place the headlamp near flammable objects, high temperatures can cause objects to overheat and become flammable/ignite!
• Do NOT use the headlamp in inappropriate ways such as holding the unit in your mouth, doing so could cause serious personal injury or death if the headlamp or internal battery fails!
• This headlamp will accumulate a significant amount of heat while operating, resulting in a high temperature of the headlamp shell. Pay close attention to avoid burns.

Charging

• Adjust the headlamp to reveal the charging port on the back. Uncover the anti-dust cap and plug the USB Type-C side of the charging cable into the charging port of the lamp.
• With the headlamp switched off, the normal charging time of the Fenix ARB-L18-3400 battery is about 3 hours from depleted to fully charged with a 5V/2A charging adapter. Only Low output of White light mode and Low output of Warm white light mode can be operated while charging.
• Once charging is completed, be sure to close the anti-dust cover.

The headlamp can only be charged while using a Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery. If the headlamp has been fully depleted, it will take about 4 seconds for the battery indicator(s) to function after charging begins.

Battery Level Indication

With the lamp switched off, single click either switch to check the battery status. Single click again and the indicator(s) will go out immediately; otherwise the indicator(s) will last for 3 seconds. Each time the light is turned on, the indicator(s) will show the battery level for 3 seconds.

• Four lights on: 100% - 80%
• Three lights on: 80% - 60%
• Two lights on: 60% - 40%
• One light on: 40% - 20%
• One light flashes: 20% - 1%

Note: This only works with a Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery.

Battery Specifications

• Fenix ARB-L18 Series (18650, 3.6V): Recommended
• Fenix ARB-L16 Series (16340, 3.6V): Usable
• Non-rechargeable Battery (CR123A, 3.0V): Usable
• Other Rechargeable Battery, Li-ion (18650, 3.6V): Caution

18650 Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with caution and handled with care. Only quality batteries with circuit protection will reduce the potential for combustion or explosion; cell damage or short circuiting are potential risks the user assumes. A Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery is recommended.

Battery Replacement

Unscrew the battery cover counterclockwise to insert the battery with the anode side (+) toward the inner side, then screw the battery cover back on.

Intelligent Overheat Protection

The lamp will accumulate a lot of heat when used at high output levels for extended periods. When the lamp reaches a temperature of 60°C/140°F or above, it will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 60°C/140°F, the lamp will gradually recall the preset output level.

Low-Voltage Warning

When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the headlamp is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Eco output is reached. When this happens in Eco output, one of the battery level indicators blinks to remind you to recharge or replace the battery until the battery runs out. Note: this only works with a Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery.

Headband Assembly

The headband is factory assembled by default. Rotate the dial clockwise to tighten the headband, and rotate the dial counterclockwise to loosen it. When the headband hits its maximum length, keep loosening it and the operation direction will reverse.

Usage and Maintenance

• Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the lamp and will void the warranty.
• Fenix recommends using an excellent quality battery.
• If the lamp will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the lamp could be damaged by electrolyte leakage.
• Turn off and lock the lamp or take out the battery to prevent accidental activation during storage or transportation.
• Long-term use can result in O-ring wear. To maintain a proper water seal, replace the O-ring with an approved spare.
• Periodic cleaning of the battery contacts improves the lamp's performance: A) The lamp is locked — simultaneously press and hold the two switches for 3 seconds to unlock. B) Poor battery level — recharge or replace. C) Dirty contacts — clean with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol. If the above methods don't work, contact the distributor.
