2. Setup

2.1 Adjusting the Head Strap

The headlamp features an elastic, adjustable strap designed for comfort and a secure fit. To adjust, simply slide the buckles on the side straps to achieve the desired tension around your head. The top strap provides additional stability, especially during active use.

2.2 Charging the Headlamp

Before first use, ensure the headlamp is fully charged. The device is equipped with a rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery. Locate the USB-C input port on the battery pack, typically covered by a rubber flap for water resistance.

• Connect the provided USB-C cable to the headlamp's USB-C input.
• Plug the other end of the USB-C cable into a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port, power bank).
• The blue LED indicators on the battery pack will illuminate to show the charging status. Each LED represents approximately 20% of the battery's charge. All five LEDs will be solid blue when fully charged.
• A full charge typically takes about 4 hours.

Caution: Avoid using the headlamp while it is actively charging to prevent potential damage to the battery or device.

2.3 Power Bank Function

The headlamp's battery pack can also serve as a power bank to charge external USB devices. Locate the USB-A output port on the battery pack.

• Connect your device's charging cable to the headlamp's USB-A output port.
• The headlamp battery will then begin charging your external device.

To clean the headlamp, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface or components. Ensure the USB ports are covered by their rubber flaps before cleaning to maintain water resistance.
