7. Maintenance
7.1. Cleaning
To clean the headlight, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or optical components.
7.2. Waterproofing
The headlight features an IPX5 waterproof rating, thanks to its high-density waterproof ring and sealed structure. This protects it from splashes and light rain. However, avoid submerging the unit in water.
7.3. Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store the headlight in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) before long-term storage to preserve battery health.
8. Troubleshooting
- Headlight not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the headlight to a power source using the Type-C cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to turn it on again.
- Light is dim or battery life is short: The battery may be low. Fully charge the headlight. If the issue persists after a full charge, the battery may be degrading.
- Remote control not working: Ensure the remote control is properly paired with the headlight. If the remote uses a replaceable battery (not explicitly stated, but common), check and replace it if necessary.
- Remote control missing: If the remote control was not included in your package, please contact the seller for assistance.
- Need a separate remote control: If you require a replacement or additional remote control, please contact the seller or manufacturer for information on purchasing spare parts.
9. User Tips
- For optimal visibility and safety, always ensure your headlight is fully charged before long rides, especially at night.
- Experiment with both formal and hoisting installation methods to find what works best with your bike setup and riding style.
- Utilize the different lighting modes according to your environment: high brightness for unlit roads, medium/low for urban areas, and strobe/SOS for emergencies or increased daytime visibility.
- Keep the lens clean to maintain maximum light output and clarity.
