Warning

Do place this light out of the reach of children.
Do not shine the light directly into the eyes of anyone.
Do not shine flammable objects at close range, to avoid burning objects or causing danger due to high temperature.
Do not use the light in inappropriate ways such as biting in the mouth, to avoid personal injury or life threats when the light or internal battery fails.
This light will accumulate a lot of heat while working, resulting in a high temperature of the flashlight shell. Pay attention to safe use to avoid scalding.
Turn off and lock the light or remove the battery from the light to prevent accidental activation when the light is placed in a closed and flammable environment such as pockets and backpacks.
The LED of this flashlight is not replaceable; so the whole light should be replaced when the LED reaches the end of its life.

Operating Instructions

Switches: The right switch is the main switch, controlling on/off, output selection, and instant turbo on high-output mode. The left switch is the auxiliary switch, controlling on/off, output selection, strobe, and SOS on low-output mode.

On/Off: Press and hold either switch for 0.5 seconds to turn the light on or off.

Mode Switching: In high-output mode, single click the auxiliary (left) switch to enter the previously used output on low-output mode; press and hold the auxiliary switch for 1.2 seconds to enter Strobe. In low-output mode, single click the main (right) switch to enter the previously used output on high-output mode; press and hold the main switch for 1.2 seconds to enter Turbo on high-output mode.

Output Selection: In high-output mode, single click the main switch to cycle Low→Med→High→Turbo. In low-output mode, single click the auxiliary switch to cycle Eco→Low→Med→High.

Instant Turbo / Strobe / SOS: With the light off and unlocked, press and hold the main switch for 1.2 seconds to enter instant Turbo; single click the main switch again to return to the previously used high-output level. Press and hold the auxiliary switch for 1.2 seconds to enter Strobe; single click the auxiliary switch again to cycle Strobe→SOS.

Lockout Function: With the light off and unlocked, press both switches simultaneously for 3 seconds to lock — the light blinks twice on Eco to confirm. With the light locked, press both switches simultaneously for 3 seconds to unlock — the light activates on Eco. In locked status, pressing either switch activates two one-second blinks to indicate locked status.

Intelligent Memory Circuit: The light memorizes the last selected output, excluding Strobe and SOS. When turned on again, the previously used output is recalled.

Charging

Switch off the light, open the anti-dust cap, and plug the USB Type-C socket of the charging cable into the light, then connect the 2-in-1 (USB-A or USB-C) end of the cable into the included adapter. While charging, the five indicators flash left to right and turn constant-on once fully charged. The USB Type-C port on the light body only supports charging; the USB-A port only supports discharging. Connecting the USB-A side of the adapter cable supports 12W (5V/2.4A) charging; connecting the USB-C side supports 45W fast charging (approximately 4 hours from depleted to full).

Power Bank Function

Switch off the light and plug the USB-A socket of the charging cable into the light, then connect the USB Type-C socket to the digital device being charged. Single click either switch to begin discharging; the indicators recede right to left to show status. Only Eco mode is available while charging; all modes are available while discharging. Recharge a stored light every four months to maintain optimum battery performance.

Battery Level Indication

With the light off, single click either switch to check the battery status; the indicator lasts 3 seconds.

Five blue lights on: 100% - 80%.
Four blue lights on: 80% - 60%.
Three blue lights on: 60% - 40%.
Two blue lights on: 40% - 20%.
One blue light on: 20% - 0%.

Intelligent Brightness Downshifting Sensor

The flashlight has a built-in intelligent sensing circuit. When the light head is close to an illuminated object (about 60 mm) for more than 1.5 seconds, the flashlight automatically downshifts the brightness level to Eco to avoid danger from high temperature; it automatically recalls the previous brightness level once away from the object for more than 0.8 seconds. This sensor function is factory set to ON and can be toggled by pressing and holding the main switch for 10 seconds.

Intelligent Overheat Protection

The light will accumulate a lot of heat when used at high-output levels for extended periods. When it reaches a temperature of 60°C or above, it automatically steps down a few lumens to reduce the temperature, and allows reselection of the mode once the temperature drops below 60°C.

Low-Voltage Warning

Working at high-output mode, when the voltage level drops below the preset level, the flashlight downshifts to a lower brightness level until the Low output of high-output mode is reached; if the battery voltage remains too low at that point, the flashlight automatically switches to the High output of low-output mode. Working at low-output mode, when the voltage level drops below the preset level, the flashlight downshifts to a lower brightness level until Eco output is reached; the leftmost battery level indicator then blinks continuously to remind you to recharge.

Note: According to the ANSI/PLATO FL1 standard, the above specifications are from Fenix laboratory testing using the 7.2V/12000mAh rechargeable battery pack, under a temperature of 21±3°C and humidity of 50% - 80%. The true performance of this product may vary according to different working environments. *The Turbo output is measured in total of runtime including output at reduced levels due to temperature or protection mechanism in the design under a good heat dissipation environment.

Usage and Maintenance

Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
Lock the light to prevent accidental activation during storage or transportation; recharge a stored battery every four months to maintain optimal battery performance.
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 light's performance as dirty contacts may cause flickering or failure to illuminate: poor battery level (recharge the battery); or the threads, PCB board contact, or other contacts are dirty (clean with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol).
If the above methods don't work, please contact your authorized distributor.
