The use
From the factory, there may be
a black insulating cap inside the lamp on the battery. Before first use
, remove it from the battery.
- When turned off, the headlamp will turn on to the last used white light mode by holding down the button for 0.5 seconds (except for the highest mode of 1600 lumens, when it will turn on in 400 lumen mode).
- When the headlamp is off, press the button twice quickly to turn on the last used red light mode.
- The headlamp is turned off by holding down the button for 0.5 seconds.
If the headlamp is switched on, it is possible
to cycle through power modes in the order of 5 - 50 - 150 - 400 - 1600 lumens (when switched on to white light) or red 1 lumen - red 10 lumens - red flashing (when switched on to red light). The lamp has a memory and is always switched on in the last set mode (applies to both white and red light, with the exception of the highest mode of 1600 lumens, when it is switched on in the mode of 400 lumens).
Switching between colors: With the headlamp on, it is possible to switch between white and red light by holding the side button for 1.2 seconds.
Battery charge status indication: If the headlamp is turned off, one short press of the button turns on the battery charge status indication for 3 seconds, which is shown by the colored backlight of the button:
- Constant Green: 100% - 85%
- Green Flashing: 85% - 50%
- Constant Red: 50% - 25%
- Red flashing: 25% or less (recharge the headlamp as soon as possible).
The indication works correctly only with a rechargeable 18650 battery.
Protection against overheating: During long-term use of the lamp at high power modes, a large amount of heat accumulates. When the headlamp reaches a temperature of 65°C or higher, it will automatically reduce power to lower the temperature. When the temperature drops below 65°C, it will then allow the user to select high modes again.
Charging: plug the charging cable into the USB connector of the computer, the USB adapter in the network or in the car. Attach the cable to the charging pad on the headlamp, it will attach itself using magnets. During charging, the light in the button lights up red, after charging it lights up green. All red light modes and all white light modes except the highest can be used while charging, but the charging time will increase accordingly. Charging a fully discharged Fenix ARB-L18-3400U V2.0 battery takes approximately 4 hours.
Low battery warning: If the battery voltage drops below the set level, the headlamp automatically switches to lower power modes. If this happens at low power, the battery charge indicator will flash to remind you to recharge or replace the battery in time. Note: This function is only active with a rechargeable Li-ion 18650 battery.
Headlight lock against unwanted power on: when the headlight is off, press and hold the side switch for 3 seconds, the lamp will flash four times in red mode to indicate the locked state.
Unlocking: when the headlamp is locked, press the switch for 3 seconds, the light will flash four times in red, and the white light Eco mode will be activated. If the headlamp is locked, it will flash four times after clicking or briefly pressing the switches, which indicates the locked state. Unwanted switching on in the luggage can also be prevented by loosening the battery cap of the headlamp by a quarter of a turn, this breaks the electrical contact and the headlamp cannot be switched on.
