5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Wipe the headlamp with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface or internal components.

5.2 Battery Care

To prolong battery life, recharge the headlamp regularly, even if not in frequent use. Avoid completely draining the battery before recharging. Store the headlamp with a partial charge if it will not be used for an extended period.

5.3 Storage

Store the headlamp in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure it is clean and fully charged before storing.

5.4 Water Resistance

The TS-4 Headlamp has an IP44 rating, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashing water from any direction. It is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Headlamp not turning on:
    Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the headlamp to the Type-C charging cable and a power source. Check if the power button is functioning correctly.
  • Dim light output:
    The battery might be low. Recharge the headlamp fully. Ensure the lens is clean and free from obstructions.
  • Motion sensor not responding:
    Verify that the motion sensor mode is activated (green indicator light). Ensure there are no obstructions between your hand and the sensor. Try turning the headlamp off and on again to reset the sensor.
  • Headlamp becomes warm during use:
    It is normal for LED lights to generate some heat during operation, especially on higher brightness settings. If the headlamp becomes excessively hot or uncomfortable, reduce the brightness setting or turn it off to allow it to cool down.
