3. Setup: Battery Installation

The Defiant Headlight requires 3 AAA alkaline batteries for operation. Follow these steps to install or replace the batteries:

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the headlight unit. This is typically a small cover that can be slid or unlatched.
2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert 3 AAA batteries, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) ends align correctly with the markings inside the compartment. Incorrect insertion can damage the device.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely until it clicks into place or is firmly sealed.
5. Test the headlight by pressing the power button to ensure it turns on.

Important: Always use fresh, high-quality alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries, as this can lead to leakage or damage.

4. Operating Instructions

Your Defiant Headlight is designed for simple and intuitive operation.

4.1. Power On/Off and Mode Selection

The power button is typically located on the top or side of the headlight unit.

• To Turn On: Press the power button once. The headlight will typically turn on in High mode.
• To Change Modes: While the headlight is on, press the power button repeatedly to cycle through the available modes:
  • High: Maximum brightness (150 Lumens) for strong illumination.
  • Low: Reduced brightness for extended battery life or closer tasks.
  • Flashing: For signaling or emergency situations.
• To Turn Off: After cycling through all modes, pressing the button one more time will turn the headlight off. Alternatively, some models may turn off if the button is held down for a few seconds.

4.2. Focusing the Beam

The Defiant Headlight features a twist-focus mechanism to adjust the beam from a wide floodlight to a narrow spotlight.

1. Grasp the front bezel or lens housing of the headlight.
2. Gently twist the bezel clockwise or counter-clockwise.
3. Observe the light beam as you twist; it will transition from a broad, diffused light to a concentrated, narrow beam. Adjust to your desired focus.

• To adjust, slide the buckles on the strap to lengthen or shorten it until a snug yet comfortable fit is achieved.
• The headlight unit itself can also be pivoted up or down to direct the light beam precisely where needed.

• Cleaning: Wipe the headlight with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the lens is clean for maximum light output.
