Periodic cleaning of the battery contacts improves the flashlight’s
performance as dirty contacts may cause the flashlight to flicker, shine
intermittently or even fail to illuminate for the following reasons:
Reason A: The battery lacks power.
Solution: Recharge the flashlight.
Reason B: The threads, PCB contact or other contacts are dirty.
Solution: Clean the contact points with a cotton swab soaked in
rubbing alcohol.
If the above methods do not work, please refer to the warranty policy
before contacting your authorized distributor.
Usage and Maintenance
Selecting Brightness Level
With the flashlight on, pressing and releasing the mode switch will
change the brightness one level at a time in the order of Turbo
→
Eco
→
Low
→
Mid
→
High.
Activating Strobe Mode
With the flashlight on, press and hold the mode switch for one
second to enter into Strobe mode. It will flash between 6Hz and
15Hz every two seconds. A single press on the mode switch will
return the flashlight to the general mode.
Using Momentary Strobe Mode
With the flashlight off, press and hold the mode switch for one
second to momentarily activate the strobe until the switch is
released.
Intelligent Memory Circuit
The Fenix RC40 memorizes the last brightness level used in the
general mode, but it will not remember the strobe mode. The next
time you turn the flashlight on, it will light up in the last brightness
level you selected.
Over-heat Protection
As a high-performance lighting instrument, the Fenix RC40 will
accumulate a lot of heat when it is working at the Turbo 3500
lumen output. When overheating is detected, the flashlight will
automatically drop down into the High brightness level. You can
resume Turbo brightness operation again when the light’s
temperature drops to a safer level.
Low-voltage Warning Function
When the voltage level drops below the preset level, the RC40 is
programmed to downshift to a lower brightness level. When it
happens in Eco output mode, the flashlight will blink three times
every five minutes to remind you to recharge the flashlight.
Over-discharge Protection
When the battery voltage is extremely low, the RC40 will turn off
automatically to protect the Li-ion battery from being permanently
damaged.
Fuel Gauge
Press the button on the flashlight’s tail to check the battery’s
remaining capacity. Turning the RC40 off first ensures a more
accurate reading. When all four LEDs are lit solid blue, battery
capacity is more than 80%. When only one LED is lit and is
blinking, remaining power is under 20%.
Charging
1. (AC) Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet, connect it to the
power brick and confirm the LED indicator is solid yellow. Remove the
anti-dust plug at the end of RC40 to reveal the charging port where
the power brick now is connected.
(IN YOUR VEHICLE) Remove the cigarette lighter or open the power
port’s cover and insert the DC adapter plug. Remove the anti-dust
plug at the end of RC40 to reveal the charging port where the DC
adapter now is connected.
2. When the power is properly connected, the four Fuel Gauge LED
indicators will light up successively and turn off at the same time to

indicate the charging process has begun. The LED indicators will turn
solid blue to indicate full charging after about three and half hours.
Note:
(1) Once charging is completed, be sure to plug the anti-dust cover.
(2) Charge the RC40 when the light is off to permit full and fast
recharging.
(3) Please recharge a stored RC40 every four months to maintain
optimum performance of the battery.
