Battery operation on common AAA cells ensures easy replacement and extended runtime up to 35 hours depending on battery quality and operating mode.

How to use

Install fresh AAA batteries following the polarity markings inside the battery compartment and close the cover securely. Fit the adjustable headband to a comfortable length and position the lamp on the forehead for a stable beam direction. Use the power switch to select the operating mode; verify beam alignment and adjust the angle if the unit includes a tilting mechanism. After use, switch the lamp off and remove the batteries for extended storage to avoid leakage.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use high-quality alkaline or rechargeable AAA batteries and replace them when light output decreases. Avoid submerging the flashlight; IPX4 protects only against splashes. Clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth and avoid chemical solvents. Check headband tension before extended wear to ensure comfort and stability.
