Power On/Off

Press and hold the power button located on the top of the light for approximately 1 second to turn the light on or off.

Changing Light Modes

Briefly press the power button to cycle through the available light modes. The Volt 100 XC offers two modes:

• Flashing Mode: Provides intermittent illumination for increased visibility.

The light features a mode memory function, which means it will power on in the last mode used.

Charging

To charge the Volt 100 XC, locate the USB charging port, typically covered by a rubber flap to protect against water. Connect the provided USB cable to the light and to a standard USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter).

• Charging Time: Approximately 1.5 hours for a full charge.
• Battery Life: Up to 5 hours, depending on the selected mode.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the light body and lens with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the light's finish or lens.

Storage

Store the light in a cool, dry place when not in use. For long-term storage, it is recommended to charge the battery periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) to maintain battery health.

Troubleshooting

• Light does not turn on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a USB power source and check the charging indicator.
• Light does not hold a charge: Verify the USB cable and power source are functioning correctly. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, the battery may require service.
• Light flickers or dims unexpectedly: This may indicate a low battery. Recharge the light.
