Battery Specifications:

Fenix ARB-L18 Series 18650 3.6 V Recommended √√
Rechargeable Battery (Li-ion) 18650 3.6 V/3.7 V Caution* !
Rechargeable Battery (LiFePO4) 18650 3.2 V Banned ×

 Do not mix batteries of different types or ages. Doing so may cause damage to the bicycle light or the batteries being used.
18650 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 jeopardize 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:

Bicycle Light:

1. Rotate the tail cap button according to the direction of the "OPEN" logo, and pull out of the battery case.
2. Insert the batteries according to the polarity marks of the battery case.
3. Insert the battery case into the light body, and after the battery case is flush with the light body, rotate the tail cap button in the opposite direction of the "OPEN" logo.

Wireless Remote:

Insert the coin into the back of the wireless remote, rotate the coin counter clockwise to open the battery cover; and then insert the battery, and tighten the back cover clockwise.
*Replace the CR1632 button battery every 3 months to maintain the optimum performance.


Charging:

Turn off the bicycle light and open the anti-dust cover. Plug the USB Type-C end of the charging cable into the charging port of the bicycle light.
The OLED display will show (battery logo plus lighting flash) while charging and then show 

 once charging is completed and the charging cable is unplugged 

Once charging is completed, be sure to unplug the charging cable and close the anti-dust cover.

Note:

The Eco, Low, and Med outputs of Low beam mode and the Low and Med outputs of High beam mode can be activated while charging, but the charging time will be prolonged.
Recharge a stored bicycle light every four months to maintain the optimum performance of the batteries.
With the light turned off, the normal charging time of the included Fenix ARB-L18-3400 batteries is approximately 3.5 hours from depleted to fully charged with a 9 V/2 A charging adapter.
The wireless remote cannot be operated while charging due to charging circuit protection.

Power specifications:
◎Charging voltage: 9 V
◎Charging power: 18 W (9 V/2 A)
◎This bicycle light supports fast charging.
◎Only use a certified USB charging adapter that complies with the government safety standards of the country or region where this product is sold.

Mounting Instructions for the Bicycle Light and the Wireless Remote:

1. Loosen the screw of the bicycle mount. Fix the bicycle mount in the desired position on the bike handlebar and fasten the screw.
2. Hold the light and slide it into the mount until a distinct “click” is heard.
3. Fasten the strap of the wireless remote to the desired position on the bike handlebar.

Note:

1. Adjust the direction of the light before testing the power and functions of the bicycle light.
2. Use the shims provided according to the diameter of the bicycle’s handlebars:
Thick only: diameter 22-28 mm;
Thin only: diameter 28-32 mm;
No shim required: diameter 32-35 mm.

Intelligent Overheat Protection:

The bicycle light will accumulate a lot of heat when used at high output levels for extended periods. When the bicycle 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 50°C/122°F, the bicycle light will gradually recall the pre-set output level.

Low-voltage Warning:

When the voltage level drops below the pre-set level, the bicycle light is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Eco output is reached. When this happens in Eco output, the battery icon on the OLED display will blink to remind users to replace or recharge the batteries in a timely manner. To ensure normal use, the bicycle light will not turn off automatically, and the battery icon on the OLED display will keep blinking till the battery level runs out.
*This only works with a Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery.

Usage and Maintenance:

◎Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the bicycle light and will void the warranty.
◎Replace or recharge the batteries in time to ensure normal use for next time.
◎Fenix recommends using excellent quality batteries.
◎If the bicycle light will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries, or the bicycle light could be damaged by electrolyte leakage.
◎Recharge a stored bicycle light every three months to maintain the optimum performance of the batteries.
◎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 bicycle light and battery contacts improves the bicycle light's performance as dirty contacts may cause the bicycle light to flicker, shine intermittently or even fail to illuminate for the following reasons:

Problems:

A: Poor battery level.
Solution: Recharge or replace the batteries.
B: The contact or contact point of the batteries or bicycle 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.
