Introduction and Overview
The COAST XPH30R headlamp is designed for hands-free illumination, offering versatility and robust performance. It features a dust-resistant aluminum body and a unique design that allows the light to roll in its bracket for dynamic directional lighting. This headlamp is powered by a COAST ZITHION-X rechargeable battery, with the added flexibility to operate using disposable CR123 lithium batteries (sold separately). The XPH30R can be detached from its bracket to function as a handheld flashlight with a built-in magnetic base and real-time power indicator. It incorporates Patented Pure Beam focusing technology for seamless transitions between flood and spot beams, and offers four output options: medium, high, low, and COAST’s mega-bright Turbo Mode.

Setup
1. Battery Installation and Charging
The XPH30R headlamp is designed for dual power options. It comes with a COAST ZITHION-X rechargeable battery (ZX850). For extended use or when recharging is not possible, the headlamp can also operate using disposable CR123 lithium batteries (not included, purchased separately).
- Rechargeable Battery: Insert the included ZX850 ZITHION-X rechargeable battery into the headlamp.
- Charging: To charge the ZITHION-X battery, connect the provided USB-C charging cable to the headlamp's built-in ProTek charging port. The battery life indicator will show charging status.
- Disposable Batteries: If using CR123 batteries, ensure correct polarity when inserting.

Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off and Light Modes
The XPH30R headlamp features multiple light output modes to suit various needs. Press the power button to cycle through the modes:
- Medium: 175 lumens, 12 hours runtime.
- High: 530 lumens, 8.5 hours runtime.
- Low: 46 lumens, 30 hours runtime.
- MoonGlow: 16 lumens, 88 hours runtime (for extended battery life).
- Turbo Mode: 1500 lumens (hold the power button for maximum brightness in critical situations). Note: Turbo mode may automatically dim after a period to prevent overheating and preserve battery life.

2. Pure Beam Focusing Optic with Twist Focus
The headlamp utilizes COAST's patented Pure Beam Focusing Optic system, allowing you to seamlessly transition between a broad flood beam and a concentrated spot beam. Simply twist the focus bezel on the headlamp to adjust the beam from wide illumination to a narrow, long-range spot, without any dark rings or hot spots.

3. Magnetic Base and Detachable Light
For added versatility, the XPH30R light unit can be easily detached from its head strap and mounting bracket. Once detached, it functions as a compact handheld flashlight. It features a built-in magnetic base, allowing you to attach it to metallic surfaces for hands-free lighting in various situations.

4. Battery Life Indicator
The headlamp is equipped with a real-time battery life indicator to help you monitor power status. This indicator provides a visual cue of the remaining battery charge, allowing you to recharge as needed.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Coast XPH30R headlamp, regular cleaning is recommended. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the headlamp. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
2. Battery Care
For the rechargeable ZITHION-X battery, ensure it is charged regularly, especially before long periods of storage, to maintain battery health. If using disposable CR123 batteries, remove them if the headlamp will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
3. Water and Dust Resistance
The XPH30R headlamp features an IP68 rating, indicating it is highly resistant to dust and water. While designed to withstand harsh conditions, avoid intentionally submerging the headlamp for prolonged periods. After exposure to water or dusty environments, ensure the charging port cover is securely closed and wipe down the unit.

Troubleshooting
Light Not Turning On or Dim
- Check Battery Charge: Ensure the ZITHION-X battery is fully charged. Refer to the battery life indicator.
- Battery Insertion: Verify that the battery (rechargeable or disposable) is inserted correctly with the proper polarity.
- Disposable Batteries: If using CR123 batteries, ensure they are fresh and correctly installed.
Turbo Mode Dims Automatically
- This is a normal operational characteristic. The Turbo mode is designed for short bursts of maximum brightness. The headlamp may automatically reduce brightness to prevent overheating and conserve battery life during prolonged use in Turbo mode.
Beam Focus Not Smooth
- Clean Bezel: Ensure the twist focus bezel is free from dirt or debris that might impede smooth operation.
