4.4 Low Battery Indicator

When the battery is low, the light will flash every 25 seconds, indicating approximately 10 to 20 minutes of remaining runtime. This allows you to safely conclude your ride or find a charging source.

• Connect the provided Micro USB charging cable to the light and to a USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter).
• The power button LED will indicate charging status (color may vary based on model/firmware).
• Once fully charged, disconnect the cable.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your F1200 headlight, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the light and mount with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the light in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for extended periods, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) and recharge every few months to prevent deep discharge.
• Water Resistance: The F1200 is IP67 waterproof. While it can withstand immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, it is not designed for prolonged underwater use. Ensure the USB port cover is securely closed to maintain water resistance.
