Warning: Do not mix batteries of different brands, sizes, capacities or types. Doing so may cause damage to the flashlight or the batteries being used. 

 

* 18650/ 16340 Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with caution and handled with care. Using only 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. 

 

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. 

 

Battery Level Indication Each time the light is turned on the indicator in the functional side switch 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 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 blinks red 3 times every 10 minutes to remind you to recharge or replace the battery. 

 

Note: This only works with Fenix ARB-L18 series 18650 battery. 

 

Usage and Maintenance for the Fenix PD 35 V3.0 Flashlight 

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

Great flashlights! This is my 3rd purchase.

Not much to complain about. Works well, very bright! Wish they had more color options.

Quality product. Longtime user and customer.

Do not hesitate to purchase the FD35. I’ve had 2 for years, one black and another special run camo (amongst other Fenix products). They’ve appeared to hold up much better than that ‘O’ company’s offerings. Though admittedly I run that ‘S’ company’s offerings on my weapons, I’ve noticed over the years that I tend to reach for this light as my carry light. I reside on about 100acres, so a good light is simply a required piece of kit. My Fenix is the one that sits by the exit door. Oh! The reason I’d dropped by the site today was to confirm my suspicions that these were in fact ‘dual fuel’ capable (remember ..I’ve had them for years and you know how memory can be). Sure enough, they are. And now…. I believe I’m going to have to grab one of those tropical green models. Looks very cool. And FWIW, I’m a real person. I’m always skeptical of reviews.

Awesome Light

I have always shied away from this size of light because I carry it every day in my right jean pocket, but this light is small enough and the power is awesome. On the medium setting it will illuminate an entire kitchen cabinet just lying on the base of the cabinet. The battery life is equally as impressive. Super rugged and solid construction.

This flashlight is wonderful. It does everything I want it to do. I've bought 2 Fenix and I have no complaints about either 1 of them. If I was going to buy another flashlight it would be a Fenix

All I need

I purchased this light after a friend recommended it. My primary use is walking the dog. That may sound like any light will do - not so! I live in a very nice spot in So Carolina but there are a wide variety of animals I see daily that could be problematic from snakes to deer. I was using SureFire products but they chew up the battery quickly and honestly are pricey overkill. This light is exactly what I need 99% of the time. Great value!
