6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the headlight body and lens with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Charging: Recharge the battery regularly, especially if the light has not been used for an extended period, to maintain battery health. Avoid completely draining the battery frequently.
- Storage: Store the headlight in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for a long time, charge the battery to about 50-70% capacity.
- Water Resistance: The headlight is IPX4 waterproof, meaning it is resistant to splashing water from any direction. Do not submerge the light in water. Ensure the TYPE-C port cover is securely closed to maintain water resistance.
