Proper fit is crucial for safety and comfort.

2. Adjust the retention system dial (located at the back of the helmet) to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. The helmet should not move freely when you shake your head.
3. Adjust the side straps so they form a "V" shape just below your ears.
4. Fasten the chin strap buckle and tighten it so that no more than two fingers can fit between the strap and your chin.

To unlock all smart features, pair your helmet with the LIVALL Riding App.

1. Download the "LIVALL Riding" app from your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android).
2. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.
3. Turn on your LIVALL BH60SE Neo helmet (refer to Section 6.1).
4. Open the LIVALL Riding app and follow the on-screen instructions to search for and connect to your helmet.

• Power On: Press and hold the power button (usually located on the rear or side of the helmet) for 3 seconds until the LEDs illuminate and you hear a power-on prompt.
• Power Off: Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds until the LEDs turn off and you hear a power-off prompt.

6.2 LED Lighting and Turn Signals

The helmet's integrated LEDs enhance your visibility to others.
