*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.Quality Li-ion battery with protective circuit will reduce risks. Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery is recommended.

 

Battery Replacement

Unscrew the battery cover anticlockwise to insert the battery with the anode side (+) towards the inner side, then screw the battery cover back on.

 

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 Eco output is reached. When this happens in Eco output, one of the battery level indicators blinks to remind you to timely recharge or replace the battery till the battery runs out.

*Note: This only works with a Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery.

 

Headband Assembly

Notice: The headband is factory assembled by default.

Rotate the dial clockwise to tighten the headband, and rotate the dial counterclockwise to loosen the headband. When the headband hits its maximum length, keep loosening the headband and the operation direction will reverse.

 

Usage and Maintenance

  • Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the lamp and will void the warranty.
  • Fenix recommends using an excellent quality battery.
  • If the lamp will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the lamp could be damaged by electrolyte leakage.
  • Turn off and lock the lamp 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 battery contacts improves the lamp's performance as dirty contacts may cause the lamp to flicker, shine intermittently or even fail to illuminate for the following reasons:
    A: The lamp is locked.
    Solution: Simultaneously press and hold the two switches for 3 seconds to unlock the lamp.
    B: Poor battery level.
    Solution: Recharge or replace the battery (Ensure battery is inserted according to the manufacturer’s   specifications).
    C: The threads, PCB board contact or other contacts are 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.

Great light..very bright for early morning walk to stand..would recommend light..

Works as advertised, but...

Longtime Fenix fan and owner of 5 of their lights! BUT I don't love this one (my first Fenix headlamp). The band, with its color, reflective lettering, lack of top band, and very useful adjustment dial, is awesome. It's partly what drove me to getting this light. My only negative comment about the band is that it would be nice to have one more layer between it and the light so that it's a bit more comfortable against the forehead.

The light has issues for me. The yellow light feels like a 100% solution to a 1% problem. Not much fog here so no use for me. Yes, it adds to the total brightness, but I'd much rather have spot and flood over white and yellow. I also don't know what the top tab is for. It makes controlling the lights impossible in the fully upright position. Tilting the light down it not very easy/ergonomic, especially when going from the full upright position.

The light will work well enough for me so I don't plan to return it. Still, I wish Fenix would sell headbands separate from headlights. I would love to have this band paired with an HM65R or HM75R light.

Hi Hyrum - the tab on the top of the lamp that blocks the buttons is to prevent the light from being accidentally activated when it's in a bag/pocket etc. And for future reference, we do sell the headbands separately so that you can swap them out or replace them. They are under the accessories on our website.
