Safe Use Warnings
- Do not look directly at the light source, stare at the light spot, or shine the flashlight directly into anyone's eyes.
- Do not place this flashlight within reach of children.
- Do not place the light head near flammable objects. High temperatures can cause objects to overheat and become flammable or ignite.
- Do not use this flashlight in inappropriate ways, such as holding the unit in your mouth. Doing so could cause serious personal injury or death if the flashlight or internal battery fails.
- This flashlight will accumulate a significant amount of heat while operating, resulting in a high temperature of the light shell. Pay close attention to prevent burns.
- Turn off and lock the flashlight or remove the battery to prevent accidental activation when it is placed in a closed and flammable environment such as pockets and backpacks.
- The LEDs of this flashlight are not replaceable; the whole flashlight will need to be replaced when any one of the LEDs reaches the end of its lifespan.

*Do not use an 18650, CR123A, or 16340 battery. 21700 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
Unscrew the tail cap and insert the battery with the anode side (+) towards the light head, then screw the tail cap back on.
Charging
- Slide the port cover to reveal the USB Type-C charging port, then connect the USB Type-C end of the charging cable to the flashlight.
- The indicator displays red while charging and turns green when fully charged.
- When charging fails or the battery is inserted backwards, the battery level indicator flashes red or stays off to remind you to check the battery.
- Fast charging time for the included battery is approximately 1.5 hours from depleted to fully charged with a 9V/3A charging adapter (approximately 2.5 hours without fast charging, such as with a 5V/3A adapter).
Note: the flashlight can be used while charging. Brightness may vary depending on conditions, but the number of output levels stays the same. When a remote pressure switch is connected, the flashlight cannot be activated while charging.
Battery Level Indication
With the light off, single click the electronic switch to check the battery status; the indicator lasts 3 seconds. Each time the light is turned on, the indicator also shows the current battery level for 3 seconds.
- Green light on: saturated, 100–85%
- Green light flashes: sufficient, 85–50%
- Red light on: poor, 50–25%
- Red light flashes: critical, 25–1%
*Works only with a Fenix ARB-L21 21700 series battery.
Low-Voltage Warning
When the voltage drops below the preset level, the flashlight gradually reduces brightness. If the voltage is still too low, the battery level indicator blinks red to remind you to recharge or replace the battery, until the battery runs out. *Works only with a Fenix ARB-L21 21700 series battery.
Intelligent Overheat Protection
The flashlight accumulates a lot of heat when used at high output levels for extended periods. At 60°C/140°F or above, it automatically steps down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 60°C/140°F, it gradually recalls the preset output level.
Usage and Maintenance
- Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the flashlight and will void the warranty.
- Fenix recommends using an excellent quality battery.
- If the flashlight will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the flashlight could be damaged by electrolyte leakage.
- Lock the flashlight or remove 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 O-ring with an approved spare.
- Periodic cleaning of the battery contacts improves performance, as dirty contacts may cause the flashlight to flicker, shine intermittently, or fail to illuminate. A. Low battery level: replace or recharge the battery. B. Dirty contacts: clean the contact points with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol.
