Power is supplied by a single Li-Ion battery type 18650 with a capacity of 3400 mAh, which is included in the package and is charged via a modern USB-C connector directly in the headlamp. In the event of an emergency, the headlamp can also be powered by two disposable CR123A batteries.

Using the headlamp

There may be an insulating cap on the battery from the factory. Remove it from the battery before first use.

The main headlamp is switched on by holding the right button (approx. 0.5s), the headlamp with warm tinted light is switched on by holding the left button (0.5s). The headlamp is always switched on in the lowest power mode. The light functions are switched by briefly pressing the corresponding button. Both reflectors cannot be switched on at the same time, but can be switched between them by pressing the corresponding button. SOS mode is activated by holding any switch for at least 1.2 seconds.

Battery charge indication - When any button is pressed briefly (the headlamp must be off), the LED battery charge indicator between the buttons is activated. Four lit LEDs indicate the battery is 80-100% charged, three lit 60-80%, two lit 40-60%, one lit 20-40% and one flashing LED indicates the battery is less than 20% charged.

Control buttons can be locked to prevent spontaneous switching on, e.g. when transporting in luggage - in the off state, press both buttons and hold for min. 3 seconds, then the headlamp will flash to indicate locking. To unlock, hold both buttons again for three seconds.

Overheat protection - If the temperature of the headlamp exceeds 60°C, it will automatically start to reduce power in gradual steps until the temperature stabilizes. Once the temperature drops below 60°C it can be switched to higher power modes again.

Discharged battery warning - when the voltage drops below a certain threshold, it will automatically switch to lower power mode, if the battery status indicator starts flashing during the light, the battery is almost dead.

Charging - Flip off the USB-C port cap and plug in the included charging cable, plug the other end of the cable into a computer, power bank or USB mains or car adapter (not included). During charging, status LEDs show the charging progress. When charging is complete, all four are lit. It takes approximately 3 hours to charge a fully discharged battery. During charging, the headlamp can only be used in low main or warm spotlight mode.

Using the Sport Fit System headband - Turn the dial counterclockwise to tighten the strap. Turn the dial clockwise to loosen the strap. Further rotation of the wheel after the strap has been loosened as far as possible will start to tighten the strap again, reversing the direction of loosening and tightening.
