BATTERY LIFE:
STAGES OF BATTERY LIFE
Signature Series
The FoxFury
batteries run down to their end-of-life condition:
Fresh batteries provide 6 to 8 hours (constant ON) of Normal mode operation.
NORMAL
This stage begins when 50% or slightly less of the initial starting brightness is present. 22 to 24 LEDs will remain "ON",
at reduced brightness, for an additional 1 to 2 hours, when using a set of alkaline batteries. This reduction in brightness
RESERVE
is intended to alert you that it is time to change the batteries. A shorter Reserve stage is to be expected in Cold
temperatures.
A few additional LEDs may dim or go out completely during this stage. Most LEDs will remain ON and continue to
output a useful light level for an additional 30 hours (or longer in warm temperatures). This minimum level of lighting is
EMERGENCY
enough to read a map, act as a beacon or marker, or walk at a moderate pace (4 to 12 Foot-candles).
*The above chart indicates information tested with Alkaline Batteries.
When in the Emergency Stage, (while the batteries seem to be almost expended), the brightness can be temporarily increased:
Turn the Foxfury light "OFF" for 3-5 minutes.
When turned back "ON", the unit will come on at about twice the brightness for a short period of time (2 to 4 minutes), and
then return to the normal low level output for the remaining time or until cycled again.
Each successive time will require a longer wait of "OFF" time, resulting in a shorter Higher Brightness period.

FoxFury Lights are tested for battery-life using fresh Duracell alkaline batteries and continuous run-times. Battery life can be extended
by keeping them warm in cold weather or turning the unit off when it is not needed. Your own body heat can keep a spare set of
batteries ready for use, or slightly extend the life of an almost exhausted set when they are cold.
PRODUCT DURABILITY, ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS & CERTIFICATIONS:
Meets NFPA 1971-2007 Fire Resistant Requirements: 500°F / 260°C for 30 minutes
STRAPS:
Both Intrinsic Models include a Silicone Strap. Adjust head band to properly fit the individual user.
CABLE GUIDE:
A black cable guide with Velcro is included with your headlamp. It is best used when wrapped around both the strap and
cable, which makes the cable less likely to be caught or snagged on any surrounding objects.
DUAL GASKET CARE:
•
Use silicone based lubricant grease around the dual gasket seal on the battery pack.
•
Every 3-5 battery changes, re-apply a small amount of silicone grease.
•
Every 7-10 battery changes, take a thin small flat-blade screwdriver (jewelers or similar) at an angle and lift the
gasket a small distance. Using a swab or toothpick, apply several spaced apart dabs of silicone grease underneath it.
Remove the screwdriver, and then spin the ring in both directions to effectively spread out the silicone grease.
Repeat for the second gasket, on the opposite side of the battery pack. A spare replacement set of gaskets is
included with each light.
1.
The first (lower) 'O'-ring is necessary to create a water tight seal. For repairs or replacement, simply slip the old 'O'-
ring off and install a new one onto the threaded neck of the battery pack. The cap will become stiffer to turn until a
small amount of silicone grease is applied. Applying a small amount of silicone grease is required after cleaning, or
replacement, and as part of normal user maintenance.
2.
The second (upper) 'O'-ring makes the unit intrinsically safe. After placing this second 'O'-ring on the battery pack,
the cap will be slightly more difficult to turn even with the proper amount of silicone grease applied. When the
difficulty of turning the cap increases again during use, take it as notice to apply more silicone grease – to keep
the unit rated as intrinsically safe. This also makes it easier for you, as the user to turn the unit ON or OFF.
