Note: According to the ANSI/PLATO FL1 standard, the above specifications are from the results produced by Fenix through its laboratory testing using two Fenix ARB-L18-3000P rechargeable Li-ion power batteries under the temperature of 21±3°C and humidity of 50% - 80%. The true performance of this product may vary according to different working environments and the actual battery used.
*The Turbo output is measured in a total of runtime including output at reduced levels due to temperature or protection mechanism in the design.
Battery Level Indication
Each time the light is turned on on Tactical or Duty mode, the indicator in the functional switch will indicate the battery level and will last for 3 seconds. If under the locked state, single click the functional switch to check the battery level:
- Green light on: saturated 100% - 85%.
- Green light flashes: sufficient 85% - 50%.
- Red light on: poor 50% - 25%.
- Red light flashes: critical 25% - 1%.
Note: this only works with Fenix ARB-L18 series 18650 battery.
Intelligent Overheat Protection
The light will accumulate a lot of heat when used at relatively high modes for extended periods. When the light reaches a temperature of 60°C or above, the light will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 60°C, it will then allow the user to reselect the modes.
Low-Voltage Warning
When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the flashlight is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Eco output is reached. When this happens in Eco output, the battery level indicator constantly blinks red to remind you to recharge or replace the battery.
Note: this only works with Fenix ARB-L18 series 18650 battery.
Usage and Maintenance
- Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
- Fenix recommends using only a high-quality protected battery.
- If the light will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery for proper storage.
- Unscrew the tail cap or remove 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 ring with an approved spare.
- Periodic cleaning of the battery contacts improves the light's performance as dirty contacts may cause the light to flicker, shine intermittently, or even fail to illuminate for the following reasons: poor battery level (recharge or replace the battery); the contact or contact point of the battery or flashlight is dirty (clean the contact points with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol); the battery protection board is in a protective state and unable to be released (take out the battery and reload them); or a single 18650 battery fails to activate Turbo mode (take out and reload the battery, replace a new battery, or use two batteries).
- If the above methods don't work, please contact your authorized distributor.
Warning
- The flashlight is a high-intensity lighting device capable of causing eye damage to the user or others. Avoid shining the light directly into anyone's eyes.
- This flashlight will accumulate a lot of heat when used for extended periods, resulting in a high temperature of the flashlight shell. Pay attention to safe use to avoid scalding.
- Do not shine an object at close range, to avoid burning the object or causing danger due to high temperature.
- The LED of this flashlight is not replaceable; so the entire light should be replaced when the LED reaches the end of its life.
- If any of the information provided in this manual is changed, the new version of the manual shall prevail; if your included user manual is an old one, it acquiesces that we won't send a new manual.
