Fenix HM60R V2.0 Rechargeable Headlamp

*18650 Li-ion batteries are powerful cells designed for commercial applications and must be treated with caution and handled with care. Using low-quality batteries or mishandling batteries (such as short-circuiting or overheating) could lead to combustion and jeopardize the safety of users and property. Any adverse effects resulting from the use of low-quality batteries are not covered by any Fenix warranty or liability. Using quality batteries with circuit protection will reduce the potential for combustion or explosion.

Battery Replacement

Unscrew the battery cover and insert the battery in accordance with the polarity marks, then screw the battery cover back on.

Charging

1. Unscrew the anti-dust cap and plug the USB Type-C end of the charging cable into the charging port of the headlamp.
2. The indicator will display red while charging and will turn green when fully charged.
3. Once charging is completed, be sure to unplug the charging cable and screw the anti-dust cover back on.

Note: 

1. The normal charging time of the included Fenix ARB-L18-4000 battery is approximately 2.5 hours from depleted to fully charged with a 5 V/2 A or above charging adapter.
2. The headlamp can be operated while charging.
3. When the voltage level is lower than 3.3 V, only the Low output of each mode and the Red flash output can be activated.
4. Recharge a stored headlamp every four months to maintain the optimum performance of the battery.

Battery Level Indication

With the lamp turned off, single click the side switch to check the current battery level. Single click once again and the battery level indicator will go out, or without any operation the battery level indicator will last for 3 seconds. Each time the lamp is turned on, the battery level indicator will also indicate the current battery level and will last for 3 seconds.

• Green light on: 100% - 85%
• Green light flashes: 85% - 50%
• Red light on: 50% - 20%
• Red light flashes: 20% - 1%

*This feature only works with a Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery.

Intelligent Overheat Protection

The headlamp will accumulate a lot of heat when used at high output levels for extended periods. When the headlamp reaches a temperature of 55°C/131°F or above, it will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 55°C/131°F, the headlamp will gradually recall the preset output level.

Low-voltage Warning

When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the headlamp is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until the lowest output is reached. When this happens in the lowest output, the battery level indicator blinks red to remind users to recharge or replace the battery in a timely manner.

*This feature only works with a Fenix ARB-L18 Series battery.

Headband Assembly

Notice: The headband is factory assembled and ready to use right out of the package.

Adjust the headband by sliding the buckle to the required length.

Usage and Maintenance

• Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the headlamp and will void the warranty.
• Fenix recommends using an excellent quality battery.
• If the lamp will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the headlamp could be damaged by electrolyte leakage.
• Take out the battery or unscrew the battery cover to prevent accidental activation during storage or transportation.
• Long-term use can result in O-ring wear. To maintain a proper water seal, replace the O-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: Poor battery level.

  Solution: Recharge or replace the battery.

  B: The contact or contact point of the battery or headlamp is dirty.  

  Solution: Clean the contact points with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol.

If the above methods don't work, please contact the distributor.
