1. Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
2. Fenix recommends using an excellent quality battery.
3. If the light will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the light could be damaged by electrolyte leakage or battery explosion.
4. Long-term use can result in O-ring wear. To maintain a proper water seal, replace the ring with an approved spare．
5. Periodic cleaning of the battery contacts improves the light's performance as dirty contacts may cause the light to flicker, shine intermittently or even fail to illuminate for the following reasons:
The IP Code, International Protection Marking, which consist of two digits.
The first digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against access to hazardous parts.
The second digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against harmful ingress of water.

Dust protected |
Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment. |

Dust tight |
No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact (dust tight). A vacuum must be applied. Test duration of up to 8 hours based on air flow. |

Dripping water |
Dripping water (vertically falling drops) shall have no harmful effect on the specimen when mounted in an upright position onto a turntable and rotated at 1 RPM. |
|
2 |
Dripping water when tilted at 15° |
Vertically dripping water shall have no harmful effect when the enclosure is tilted at an angle of 15° from its normal position. A total of four positions are tested within two axes. |
|
3 |
Spraying water |
Water falling as a spray at any angle up to 60° from the vertical shall have no harmful effect, utilizing either: a) an oscillating fixture, or b) A spray nozzle with a counterbalanced shield. Test a) is conducted for 5 minutes, then repeated with the specimen rotated horizontally by 90° for the second 5-minute test. Test b) is conducted (with shield in place) for 5 minutes minimum. |
|
4 |
Splashing of water |
Water splashing against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect, utilizing either: a) an oscillating fixture, or b) A spray nozzle with no shield. Test a) is conducted for 10 minutes. Test b) is conducted (without shield) for 5 minutes minimum. |
|
5 |
Water jets |
Water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. |
|
6 |
Powerful water jets |
Water projected in powerful jets (12.5 mm nozzle) against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. |
|
7 |
Immersion, up to 1 m depth |
Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion). |
|
8 |
Immersion, 1 m or more depth |
The equipment is suitable for continuous immersion in water under conditions which shall be specified by the manufacturer. However, with certain types of equipment, it can mean that water can enter but only in such a manner that it produces no harmful effects. The test depth and duration is expected to be greater than the requirements for IPx7, and other environmental effects may be added, such as temperature cycling before immersion. |
Lock: with the light switched off, double click the switch within 0.5 seconds to lock the light, the light will blink twice on Eco to indicate locked status.
Unlock: with the light locked, double click the switch within 0.5 seconds, the light will be unlocked and activated on Eco.
* In locked status, clicking or pressing the switch will activate 2 one-second blinks on Eco to indicate locked status.
** This only works with flashlights and headlamps with lockout function.
