Battery Replacement
- Pull battery cover latch that is located between the switches to open the tail cap.
- Insert the batteries in accordance with the polarity marks.
- Replace the battery cap.
Overheat Protection
The light will accumulate a lot of heat when used on Turbo output level for extended periods. The light will automatically step down by a few lumens to reduce temperature.
Headband Assembly
Notice: The headband is factory assembled by default.
Step 1: Attach the headband to the headlamp as shown (Pic 1), by first sliding the band down to the bottom of the slots. Then hook the top edge under the top slot.
Step 2: Adjust the headband by sliding the buckle to required length.
Usage and Maintenance
- Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the headlamp and will void the warranty.
- Fenix strongly recommends using quality rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. Alkaline batteries will shorten the runtime with the lamp switched on high output.
