Battery Specifications

*Do not use an 18650, CR123A, or 16340 battery.

*21700 Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with caution and handled with care. Using low-quality batteries or mishandling batteries (such as short-circuiting or overheating) could lead to combustion and jeopardise the safety of users and property. Any adverse effects resulting from the use of low-quality batteries are not covered by any Fenix warranty or liability. Using quality batteries with circuit protection will reduce the potential for combustion or explosion.

Battery Replacement

Unscrew the light tail and insert the battery with the anode side (+) towards the light head, then screw the light tail back on.

Charging

1. Unscrew the light neck counterclockwise to reveal the charging port, then connect the USB Type-C end 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 unplug the charging cable and screw the light neck back to maintain the dustproof and waterproof ability.

Note:

1. When charging fails, or the battery is reversely connected, the battery level indicator will flash red or remain off to remind users to check the battery.
2. The normal charging time of the included Fenix ARB-L21-6000 battery is approximately 1.5 hours from depleted to fully charged.
3. Recharge a stored light every four months to maintain the optimum performance of the battery.
4. The light cannot be operated while charging.
5. Check the battery if the battery level indicator blinks or remains off. It is strictly prohibited to charge the light while using an 18650, CR123A, or 16340 battery.

*Note: The battery level indicator only works with a Fenix ARB-L21 Series rechargeable battery.

Battery Level Indication 

• Each time the light is turned on, except for Strobe, the indicator (unscrew the light neck to see) 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 a Fenix ARB-L21 Series rechargeable battery.

Intelligent Overheat Protection            

The light will accumulate a lot of heat when used at high output levels for extended periods. When the light reaches a temperature of 55°C/131°F or above, it will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 55°C/131°F, the light will gradually recall the preset output level.

Low-voltage Warning

When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the flashlight is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Low output is reached. When this happens in Low output, the flashlight blinks 3 times every 5 minutes to remind users to timely recharge or replace the battery.

*Note: This only works with a Fenix ARB-L21 Series rechargeable battery.

Usage and Maintenance

• Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.

• Fenix recommends using an excellent quality battery.

• If the light will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the light could be damaged by electrolyte leakage.

• Unscrew the light tail half a turn 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 ring with an approved spare.

• Periodic cleaning of the light and battery contacts improves the light’s performance, as dirty contacts may cause the lamp 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 light is dirty.
  Solution: Clean the contact points with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol.

If the above methods don’t work, please contact the distributor.

Warning

• Do NOT place this light in the reach of children!
• Do NOT shine the light directly into the eyes of anyone!
• Do NOT place the light head near flammable objects; high temperatures can cause objects to overheat and become flammable/ignite!
• Do NOT use the light in inappropriate ways such as holding the unit in your mouth; doing so could cause serious personal injury or death if the light or internal battery fails!
• This light will accumulate a significant amount of heat while operating, resulting in a high temperature of the light shell. Pay close attention to avoid burns.
• Remove the battery to prevent accidental activation when the light is placed in a closed and flammable environment such as pockets and backpacks!
• The LED of this light is not replaceable; so the whole light should be replaced when the LED reaches the end of its lifespan.
