Note: According to the ANSI/PLATO FL1 standard, the above specifications are from the results produced by Fenix
through its laboratory testing using an ARB-L18-3400 battery 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
actual battery status.
*The Turbo output is measured in a total of runtime including output at reduced levels due to temperature or
protection mechanism in the design.
Warning

* 16340/18650 Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with
caution and handled with care. Only use quality batteries with circuit protection will reduce the potential for
combustion or explosion; but cell damage or short circuiting are potential risks the user assumes.
** The Turbo mode can not be selected and the brightness of the Strobe mode only reaches 1000 lumens when
CR123A batteries are used.
Battery Replacement

then screw the light tail back on.
Charging
1. First switch off the light and plug the USB A socket of the charging cable into an electrical
outlet, then connect the USB Type-C socket of the charging cable to the light.
2. The indicator will display red while charging, and will turn green when fully charged.
3. Once charging is completed, be sure to close the anti-dust cover to maintain the dustproof and
waterproof ability.
Note:
1. The normal charging time of the included Fenix ARB-L18-3400 rechargeable battery is
approximately 3 hours from depletion to full charging.
2. Recharge a stored light every four months to maintain optimum performance of the battery.
3. The light is unavailable while charging.
4. Charge the flashlight when it is turn on, the light will turn off immediately. After removing the
charging cable, it will automatically recall the memorized lighting mode. For avoiding the risk,
please turn it off before charging.
Battery Level Indication
Each time the light is turned on, the indicator will indicate the battery level and will last for 3
seconds.
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 rechargeable battery.
Intelligent Overheat Protection
The light will accumulate a lot of heat when used on High or Turbo 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 the reselection of High or Turbo 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 mode,
the light blinks 3 times every 5 minutes to remind you to timely recharge or replace the battery.
Note: This only works with Fenix ARB-L18 series rechargeable battery.
Usage and Maintenance



Fenix recommends using only a high-quality protected battery.


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:
A: Poor battery level.
Solution: Recharge or replace the battery.
B: The contact or contact point of the battery or flashlight is dirty.
