Before Use
Battery Charging
The battery must be charged before the first use. Connect the included USB-C cable to the battery pack and a standard USB power source. Charging takes approximately 3 hours. 4 green LEDs indicate the battery status during charging; a blinking red light indicates charging is in progress.
Headband Adjustment
Use the two buckle adjustments to fit the headband to your head. Attach the headlamp to the bracket by sliding the lamp foot into the snap-in socket.
During Use
Light Modes and Controls
A single push button on the left side of the lamp controls all modes:
- Short press: Starts the headlamp with Flow Light activated (blue LED on). Short presses cycle between modes.
- Long press (1 second): Starts the headlamp with Flow Light deactivated, or turns the headlamp off.
Flow Light: Optimizes the light pattern by combining long-reach spot light and close flood light. Tilting the lamp downwards widens the beam for slower activities; tilting upwards extends the reach for faster movement.
Temperature Control
The headlamp may get hot depending on the light mode, ambient temperature, and airflow. If cooling is insufficient, the light will automatically dim to maintain a safe surface temperature.
Battery and Maintenance
Battery Status and Warnings
When the battery is connected and the lamp is switched on, the status is visible for 30 seconds. 4 green LEDs indicate a full charge, while 1 red LED indicates 25% remaining. A low battery warning (10% remaining) is indicated by both LEDs flashing for 1 second. The lamp will enter Reserve Mode when 10% power remains.
Maintenance
Clean the lamp regularly with a damp cloth. The headband can be machine washed at 40°C.
