5.2 Battery Installation/Check
The helmet is powered by a solar panel and a replaceable CR2450 lithium battery. Ensure the battery is correctly installed and functional before use.
- Locate the battery compartment, usually on the inside of the auto-darkening filter (ADF) cartridge.
- Insert the CR2450 battery with the correct polarity.
- Press the "TEST" button on the ADF to verify the auto-darkening function. The lens should momentarily darken.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Mode Selection
The helmet supports various modes for different applications:
- Grind Mode: Set to Shade 4. The lens remains light, suitable for grinding tasks without auto-darkening.
- Cut Mode: Adjustable shade range from 5 to 9, suitable for plasma cutting and similar operations.
- Weld Mode: Adjustable shade range from 9 to 13, ideal for TIG, MIG, and Arc welding.

6.2 Adjusting Settings
- Shade Control: Rotate the "SHADE" knob to select the appropriate shade level (4-5/9-9/13) for your welding or cutting process. Refer to welding standards for recommended shade levels.
- Sensitivity Control: Adjust the "SENSITIVITY" knob to accommodate different lighting conditions and prevent the lens from flashing on and off. Turn towards "HI" for weak arcs and "LO" for strong arcs.
- Delay Control: Use the "DELAY" knob to set the time it takes for the lens to return to its clear state after welding. "MIN" provides a fast return, while "MAX" provides a slow return, useful for preventing eye fatigue from afterglow.
