Charging
Magnetic Charge System
The HF4R Core headlamp features a magnetic charging system for convenient and hassle-free recharging. Simply connect the magnetic end of the charging cable to the charging port on the headlamp. The other end of the cable connects to a standard USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port).
Battery Status Indicator
The headlamp is equipped with a battery level indicator, typically a series of LED lights, to display the current charge status. These lights will illuminate during charging and indicate the remaining battery capacity during use. Green lights usually signify a high charge, while fewer or red lights indicate a lower charge, prompting a recharge.

Operation
Powering On/Off and Light Modes
Press the power button, located on the top of the headlamp, to cycle through the various light modes: Power, Mid Power, Low Power, and Boost. A long press of the button typically turns the headlamp off. The headlamp may also feature a memory function, recalling the last used mode.

Red Light Function
The headlamp includes a red front light, which is beneficial for preserving night vision, reading maps in low-light conditions, or for signaling without disturbing others. Refer to the product's quick start guide for specific button press sequences to activate the red light mode.
Tilting the Lamp Head
The lamp head can be steplessly tilted up to 45 degrees. This allows you to precisely direct the light beam to your desired area, whether for close-up tasks or illuminating a path ahead. Gently adjust the lamp head to achieve the optimal angle.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Clean the headlamp with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the device. Ensure the charging port is free of dirt and debris before charging.
Storage
