WARNING
READ CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THESE
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE HELMET
If the auto-darkening filter is cracked, stop using the helmet: UV/IR protection may
be compromised, resulting in burns to the eyes and skin.
During the welding process, heat and radiation are released.
• FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous to your health.
• Keep your head out of fumes.
• Use enough ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases
away from your breathing zone and general area.
• ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn skin.
• Before welding, always inspect helmet and filter lens to be sure they are fitted
properly, in good condition and not damaged.
• Check to see that the clear lens is clean and securely attached to the helmet.
• Always wear safety glasses or goggles under the welding helmet and protective
clothing, to protect your skin from radiation, burns and spatter.
• Ensure that optical radiation from other welder’s arcs in the immediate area
does not enter in from behind the helmet and auto-darkening filter.
Welding produces sparks and drops of molten metal that fly in all directions.
• The protective helmet must be worn to avoid potentially serious physical damages.
• Appropriate additional safety clothing must be worn to protect the rest of the body.
TRUE VIEW PANO V2
TRUE VIEW PANO V2 welding helmets are designed to protect the eyes and face
from sparks, spatter and harmful radiation under normal welding conditions. The
welding helmets may only be used for welding and not for other purposes. They
are suitable for use with virtually all welding process, except oxy-acetylene, laser
and gas welding procedures. They will not protect against severe impact hazards,
including fragments from grinding disks, explosive devices or corrosive liquids.
Machine guards and appropriate protection must be used. Avoid work positions
that could expose unprotected areas of the body to sparks spatter, direct and/or
reflected radiation. Use adequate protection if exposure can not be avoided.

5
CORRECT USE OF THE WELDING HELMET
• Before using the helmet, make sure that:
• the front cover lens, and the filter are in the correct position and correctly fixed
in place;
• all the sensors and the cells are not obstructed;
• the protection films on both screens are removed;
• the red light is off, otherwise change the batteries.
•Keep the filter viewing area as close as possible to the eyes during welding.
•When welding for extended periods, occasionally check the helmet and make
sure there are no signs of deformation or deterioration.
•Do not use the helmet without the transparent filter protections (internal and
external): non-observance may cause a safety hazard or irreparable damage to
the filter.
•Subjects with particularly sensitive skin must take extra care: materials that may
come into contact with the skin can cause allergic reactions.
•
MAINTENANCE
•Regularly check the condition of the helmet and change any damaged parts.
•Replace the external/internal transparent filter protection if it is damaged.
•Do not immerse the filter in water or other liquids; do not use solvents to clean the
filter.
•Do not put any heavy tools/objects in or on the helmet in order not to damage the
filter or the protective screens.
• Keep the helmet away from flames.
•Do not drop the helmet.
•Do not place the helmet too close to the welding area.
•Remove batteries when the helmet is not in use for long periods of time.
•Respect the temperature:
• use: -5°C (+23°F) ÷ +55°C (+131°F)
• storage: -20°C (-4°F) ÷ +70°C (+158°F).
TRUE VIEW PANO V2
Check that the protection level matches your welding process. If the helmet
presents operation problems, refer to the “troubleshooting” chapter; if the
problem persists, immediately stop using the helmet and contact the person in
charge or a distributor.

6
•Place the helmet in a way that does not allow its dimension to deform, or the viewing
filter to break.
•Do not allow the filter to come into contact with liquid and dirt.
•Do not open the filter container. Do not use any tools or other sharp objects to remove
any components of filter or helmet.
•
Do not use replacement parts other than those original ones: unauthorized modifications
and replacement parts will void the warranty and expose the operator to the risk of
personal injury.
CLEANING
Keep the filter, the sensor and the solar cell clean.
After using the helmet and before putting it away, it must be checked to verify integrity
and to eliminate any drops of molten metal.
The cartridge and the front cover lens must be cleaned at regular intervals with clean
cotton, a soft cloth or a special rag for lens. Do not use strong cleaning agents or
solvents: clean the inside and the outside of the helmet with a neutral disinfectant
product.
Non-observance of this regulation can expose the operator to health risks
and void warranty.
We will not accept any liability if the welding helmet is used for other
purposes or if these instructions are disregarded.
TRUE VIEW PANO V2

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Check the front cover lens to make sure that they are clean, and that no dirt is covering
the sensors on the front of filter cartridge. Also check the front / rear cover lens and the
front lens retaining snap joint to make sure that they are secure.
7
TRUE VIEW PANO V2
Inspect all operating parts before each use for signs of wear or damage. Any

In order to extend the service life of the battery, auto darkening welding filter under the
condition of environmental light intensity is less than 1lx and without arc for a long time,
need to enter a dormant state and work in low power mode. In a dormant mode, when
TRUE VIEW PANO V2

13
Basic function of the headlamp
the environmental light intensity is more than 1lx, auto darkening welding filter will be
working normally in 10s.
For different welding environments, the lens is integrated with a built-in headlamp.
Headlamps have two levels of brightness, high (100lm) and low (50lm).
1）Function
Headlamp has two working modes: manual and automatic. The headlamp manual mode
is continuously lit at a fixed brightness. In the automatic mode, the headlamp will be
automatically extinguished after the welding arc, and the headlamp will be lit immediately
after the welding arc is extinguished. The main advantage of automatic mode is to extend
the use time of the headlamp.
① Short press to switch the brightness in the manual mode:
Highlight → low light → Off → high light
②Long press to enter the automatic mode, the light will blink twice quickly. Short press at
any time to return to the manual mode. The brightness of the automatic mode is
determined by the brightness of the current manual mode, as shown in the following
table：
2）Charging
When the Low BAT indicator is steady red and the display displays the low charge, the
battery needs to be charged. You can use the standard TYPE-C charging interface to
plug into the TYPE-C interface on the upper part of the lens. When the lens is charging,
the charging indicator will light up. The red light indicates that the lens is charging and the
green light indicates that the charging is completed.
3）Low battery protection
When the battery is low, the headlamp will be forced to automatically turn off to save
power, so as to ensure that the auto darkening welding lens can still work normally for
more than 7 days.
