• Greenlight on: saturated 100% – 85%
• Greenlight flashes: sufficient 85% – 50%
• The red light on poor 50% – 25%
• Red light flashes: critical 25% – 1%

Note: This only works with Fenix ARB-L18 Series 18650 rechargeable Li-ion battery.

Low-voltage Warning

When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the flashlight is programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level until Low output is reached. When this happens in Low output mode, the indicator in the mid of the functional side switch will flash red to remind you to recharge or replace the battery. To ensure normal use, the flashlight will not turn off automatically and will work till the battery runs out completely.

Charging the TK26R Tactical Flashlight

1. First, switch off the light and plug the USB A socket of the charging cable into an electrical outlet, then connect the USB Type-C socket of the charging cable to the light.
2. The indicator will display red while charging and will turn to green when fully charged.
3. Once charging is completed, be sure to close the anti-dust cover. (The light features inner waterproofing treatment, thus the performance won’t compromise even if there is water in the charging port ).

Note:

1. The normal charging time of the included Fenix ARB-L18-3500 rechargeable Li-ion battery is approximately 3 hours from depletion to full charging.
2. Recharge a stored light every four months to maintain optimum performance of the battery.

Intelligent Protection

The light will accumulate a lot of heat when used on the Turbo output level for extended periods. When the light reaches a temperature of 65°C or above, the light will automatically step down by a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature is reduced, the output will gradually return to Turbo.

Usage and Maintenance

• Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
• Fenix recommends using an excellent quality battery.
• 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.
• Li-ion battery needs to be charged even if the battery is not exhausted, charge immediately when the battery is exhausted; it has no memory effect.
• Unscrew the tail cap half a turn or take out the battery 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 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: The battery needs replacing.
  Solution: Replace battery (Ensure battery is inserted according to the manufacturer’s specifications).B: The threads, PCB board contact, or other contacts are dirty.
  Solution: Clean the contact points with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol.

If the above methods don’t work, please contact your authorized distributor.
