Note: This feature only works with the Fenix ARB-L21-5000 V2.0 battery.

Intelligent Overheat Protection:

The lantern will accumulate a lot of heat when used at high output levels for extended periods. When the lantern reaches a temperature of 48°C/118°F or above, the lantern will automatically step down a few lumens every 0.5 seconds to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 46°C/115°F, the lantern automatically recalls the previously used output level.

Low-voltage Warning:

When the voltage level drops below the pre-set level, one indicator flashes to remind you to recharge the battery. To ensure normal use, the lantern will not turn off automatically and will work till the battery runs out.

Usage and Maintenance:

◎Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the lantern and will void the warranty.
◎Keep the lantern fully charged to ensure that all functions are available at any time in the future.
◎Fenix recommends using an excellent quality battery.
◎If the lantern will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the lantern could be damaged by electrolyte leakage or battery explosion.
◎Recharge a stored lantern every three months to maintain optimum performance of the battery.
◎Periodic cleaning of the battery contacts improves the lantern's performance as dirty contacts may cause the lantern to flicker, shine intermittently or even fail to illuminate for the following reasons:

Problems:

A: Poor battery level.
Solution: Replace or recharge the battery (Ensure the battery is inserted according to the manufacturer’s specifications).
B: 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 your authorized distributor.
