4.1 Charging the Headlamp

1. Locate the Type-C charging port on the headlamp.
2. Connect the provided USB Type-C charging cable to the headlamp and a suitable USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, power bank, computer USB port).
3. The intelligent two-color power indicator will show a red light during charging.
4. Once fully charged, the indicator light will turn green. Charging typically takes about 3 hours with a 5V/1A power source.

2. Place the headlamp on your head.
3. Adjust the elastic webbing to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. The high elastic breathable webbing is designed to prevent sweat from slipping into your eyes and to keep the headlamp stable.

5. Operation

5.1 Power Switch (Four-Speed Mode)

The headlamp features a main power switch for controlling the light modes:

• Single Click: Activates Bright Light mode.
• Second Click: Switches to Low Light mode.
• Double-Click: Activates Pop Flash mode.
• Double-Click Again: Switches to SOS mode.

5.2 Inductive Switch (Wave Induction)

For hands-free operation, the headlamp is equipped with an inductive switch:

• When the headlamp is working, click the inductive switch to activate the infrared induction function. The headlamp will provide a double flash prompt to indicate it's active.
• Once activated, you can gently wave your hand in front of the sensor to turn the light on or off, making operation more convenient, especially when your hands are occupied.
• Click the inductive switch again to turn off the induction function.

5.3 Stepless Dimming

The headlamp supports stepless dimming, allowing you to freely control the brightness level to your preference. While in a continuous light mode (Bright or Low Light), press and hold the power button to gradually increase or decrease the brightness. Release the button when the desired brightness is reached.

5.4 Battery Indicator

The intelligent two-color power indicator provides a quick visual cue of the remaining battery life:

• Green Light: More than 30% battery remaining.
• Red Light: Less than 30% battery remaining.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the headlamp body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Water Resistance: The headlamp is 'life waterproof', meaning it can withstand light rain and splashes. Do not submerge it in water or expose it to heavy downpours for extended periods.
• Storage: Store the headlamp in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) and recharge it every 3-6 months to maintain battery health.
• Battery Care: Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge promptly when the red indicator light appears.
• Impact Protection: While designed to withstand a 1m anti-fall height, avoid unnecessary drops or impacts to prevent damage to internal components.

7. Troubleshooting

• Headlamp not turning on:
  • Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a power source and check the charging indicator.
  • Verify the power button is pressed correctly.
• Light is dim or flickers:
  • The battery may be low. Recharge the headlamp.
  • Ensure the lens is clean and free from dirt or obstructions.
• Inductive switch not responding:
  • Ensure the inductive switch is activated (indicated by a double flash when turned on).
  • Check for any obstructions in front of the sensor.
  • Ensure your hand motion is clear and within the sensor's range.
• Headlamp not charging:
  • Check if the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the headlamp and the power source.
  • Try a different USB cable or power adapter.
  • Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.

8. User Tips

• For optimal beam focus and range, utilize the 0-90° adjustable lamp holder to fine-tune your light direction.
• The inductive switch is particularly useful when your hands are dirty or occupied, allowing for quick on/off control without touching the main buttons.
• Regularly check the battery indicator (green for good, red for low) to avoid unexpected power loss during critical activities.
• The stepless dimming feature is excellent for conserving battery life when maximum brightness is not required, or for adjusting to different ambient light conditions.
