Instructions for Use

• Before first use, ensure the insulation disc is removed from the battery.
  
  
• To turn the flashlight on, press the tactical tail switch; for momentary light, half-press it.
  
  
• The side button near the head allows you to cycle through constant light modes. Hold for 0.5 seconds to activate strobe, press again for SOS. Hold again to return to constant modes.
  
  
• The number of available modes depends on the selected profile, set via the hidden SET button under the protective ring. Available profiles: tactical (Turbo), duty (3 modes), and outdoor (5 modes).
  
  
• Activate or deactivate strobe by holding the SET button for 1.2 seconds; confirmation is signaled with a double flash.
  
  
• The flashlight remembers the last used mode within the profile (not applicable for strobe and SOS).
  
  
• To replace the battery, unscrew the tail cap, insert the battery with the positive pole toward the reflector, and screw the cap back on.
  
  
• Charging is done via the USB-C port under the protective ring. The side button indicator lights red while charging and green when fully charged. Standard charging time for the Fenix 18650 4000 mAh battery is approx. 3 hours using a 5 V / 3 A power source. The side button indicator also displays battery status (green >85%, green flashing 50–85%, red 25–50%, red flashing <25%). This function works only with Fenix 18650 batteries.
  
  
• If the flashlight temperature exceeds 60°C, the output is automatically reduced. Once it drops below 60°C, the output gradually increases.
  
  
• If voltage drops below the set level, the flashlight steps down to a lower mode. At the lowest output, the battery indicator flashes red, reminding you to recharge or replace the battery.
