TECHNICAL PARAMETERS
Note: The above specifications are from the results produced by Fenix
through its laboratory testing using the Fenix ARB-L21-5000 V2.O battery,
under the temperature of 21±30C and humidity of 50% – 80%. The true
performance of this product may vary according to different working
environments nd the actual battery used.
The Turbo output is measured in total of runtime including output at reduced
levels due to the built-in temperature protection mechanism.
release it and the light will go out.
With the light switched on, press and hold the functional switch to enter the

BATTERY SPECIFICATIONS
“21700 Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with caution and handled with care. Only using quality batteries with circuit protection will reduce the potential for combustion or explosion. Cell abuse or short-circuiting are considered user- induced damage and are not covered by any Fenix warranty or liability.
Unscrew the tail cap and insert the battery with the anode side (+) towards the light head, then screw the tail cap back on.
CHARGING
- Open the anti-dust cover to reveal the USB Type-C charging port and plug the USB-A socket of the charging cable into an appropriate AC-powered USB plug/outlet, then connect the USB Type-C socket of the charging cable to the flashlight.
- The indicator will display red while charging and will turn to green when fully charged.
- Once charging is completed, be sure to unplug the charging cable and close the anti-dust cover.
Note
- When charging fails or the battery is inserted backwards, the battery level indicator will flash red to notify the user to check the battery condition.
- The normal charging time of the flashlight is approximately 3.5 hours from depletion to fully charged. The flashlight cannot be operated while charging.
- Recharge a stored light every four months to maintain the optimum performance of the battery.

- Red light on: poor 50% – 25%
- Red light flashes: critical 25% – 1%
*Note: This feature only works with a Fenix ARB-L21 series rechargeable battery.
INTELLIGENT OVERHEAT PROTECTION
- The lamp will accumulate a lot of heat when used at high output levels for extended periods. When the light reaches a temperature of 650C/1490F or above, the light will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature.
- When the temperature drops below 650C/1490F, the light automatically recalls the previously used output level.
LOW-VOLTAGE WARNING
When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the lamp is programmed to
downshift to a lower brightness level until Low output is reached. When this
happens in Low output, the battery level indicator blinks red to remind you to
replace or recharge the battery.
*Note: This feature only works with a Fenix ARB-L21 series rechargeable
battery
