3. Safety Information

• If the product has been stored for a long term, the battery may be depleted. Please charge it before first use.
• It is strictly prohibited to directly shine the lamp light on human eyes, especially in strong light mode, to avoid temporary glare and retinal damage. When interacting with others, cover the lamp head or adjust the angle upwards.
• Children should be supervised by adults when using the headlamp and should not be allowed to look directly at the light source or play with its components.
• This product is intended for users aged 18 years and older. If small parts are present in the packaging, keep them out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion.
• Avoid operating the headlamp in high brightness mode for extended periods to prevent the lamp body from generating excessive heat.
• Do not cover the lamp head with objects or use it near flammable and explosive materials (such as gasoline, alcohol, or in a dust-laden environment) to prevent fire or explosion hazards.
• If the lamp body is in a high-temperature state, do not attempt to cool it down by placing it in cold water or any liquid. This can cause water damage due to pressure differences.
• Do not disassemble the headlamp in explosion-proof environments containing flammable gases, vapors, or dust, as this may cause sparking and danger.
• Protect the headlamp casing from severe impact and compression to maintain its integrity and performance.
• Avoid improper use in extreme environments:
  • High temperatures (>60 °C) can pose a risk of battery explosion and combustion. Do not expose the headlamp to prolonged sunlight, especially inside a car.
  • In low temperatures (<0 °C), the brightness may temporarily decrease, which is normal. Brightness will restore as the temperature rises.
• When storing the headlamp in a sealed environment (e.g., pocket, backpack) or for a long period, ensure the lights are turned off. Take anti-misoperation measures, such as loosening the battery cover or removing the battery, to prevent overheating, battery leakage, product damage, or accidental activation.
