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 Low output is reached. When this happens in Low output, one of the battery level indicators blinks to remind you to recharge or replace the battery.

Headband Assembly

Notice: The headband is factory assembled by default. Adjust the headband by sliding the buckle to the required length.

Usage and Maintenance

• Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the lamp and will void the warranty.
• Fenix recommends using excellent quality batteries. 
• If the lamp will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries, or the lamp could be damaged by electrolyte leakage.
• Turn off the lamp and take out the batteries 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.
