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 battery, alkaline battery will
shorten the runtime with the lamp switched on high output.
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 lamp's performance as dirty contacts
may cause the lamp to flicker, shine intermittently or even fail to illuminate for the following
reasons:
A: The battery needs replacing.
Solution: Replace battery (Ensure 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.
Warning
The headlamp is a high-intensity lighting device capable of causing eye damage to the user or
others. Avoid shining the light directly into anyone’s eyes.
