IntelligentOverheatProtection 
Thelampwillaccumulatealotofheatwhenusedrelativelyhighoutputlevelsforextendedperiods.
Whenthelampreachesatemperatureof65°Corabove,thelampwillautomaticallystepdowna
fewlumenstoreducethetemperature.Whenthetemperaturedropsbelow65°C,itwillthenallow
theuserforthereselectionofthemodes. 


Low‐voltageWarning
Whenthevoltageleveldropsbelowthepresetlevel,theheadlampisprogrammedtodownshift
toalowerbrightnessleveluntilLowoutputisreached.WhenthishappensinLowoutputmode,
oneofthebatterylevelindicatorsblinkstoremindyoutotimelyrechargeorreplacethebattery. 
Note:ThisonlyworkswithFenixARB‐LP1300Li‐polymerbattery.
