Charging

  • Uncover the cap and plug the USB Type‐C side of the charging cable into the charging port of the lamp.
  • The indicator will display red while charging and will turn green when fully charged.
  • The normal charging time of  the included  Fenix  ARB‐L16‐700P  16340  rechargeable  Li‐ion battery is about 1.5 hours.
  • When charging, the headlamp can be normally used on Low, Red, Red flash, but charging time will be prolonged.
