How to use the headlamp:
The electronics in the lamps provide 3 power levels: (1) Maximum, (2) Optimum, (3) Economy, and (4) a Blinking mode.
​
How to switch on and off:
-
Push the button on top of the lamp
-
One click lights the lamp at the Maximum level and another click after two seconds turns it off.
-
One click with the button held down keeps the lamp on – release button to turn off.
-
​
How to select different power levels
When the lamp is off, push the switch:
– 1 click for Maximum power,
– 2 rapid clicks to select the Optimum level,
– 3 rapid clicks for the Economy level,
– 4 rapid clicks for the Blinking mode.
If the button is not pushed quickly enough, the lamp will switch off.
​
Retractable reel precautions
This product is not designed for harsh environments (avoid sand and mud).
– Take care to retract it slowly and do not suddenly release it.
– Do not open the reel – the spring can cause injury upon release.
– Do not put the band around the neck (the band breaks at 20 kg) due to risk of strangulation or cutting.

6.3 Care and Maintenance of Headlamps
​
The LEDs are not removable.
​
Batteries
-
After use in a humid environment, remove the batteries and dry out. If sea-water gets into the lamp, remove the batteries, rinse thoroughly in fresh water and dry.
-
If the lamp does not operate, check that the batteries are not dead and are correctly installed with respect to polarity. Check that the contacts are not corroded. If corrosion occurs, gently scrape it off without deforming the contacts. If your lamp is still not working, contact PETZL After-Sales Service.
-
Use alkaline batteries or NiMH rechargeables.
-
Do not use the lamp with Lithium batteries; due to recent advances in their performance characteristics (especially their higher output during discharge), they can use the lamp to overheat and possibly damage the LEDs.
