Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Headlamp does not turn on. | Battery is dead or improperly installed. | Charge the battery. Ensure the battery is inserted with correct polarity (+/-). |
| Light is dim or flickers. | Low battery charge. | Recharge the battery fully. |
| Headlamp gets warm during use. | Normal operation, especially on High/Turbo modes. | This is expected due to high lumen output. If it becomes excessively hot, reduce brightness or turn off briefly. |
