The MityCross 800 is designed to be used on bikes in some of the most
extreme outdoor conditions. Over time, dust and dirt may hinder the
connections on your battery and headlight. To prevent this from happening,
ensure that both the battery and headlight are clean after every ride.
Wipe the headlight and battery down with a damp cloth. Do not submerge
the battery or headlight in water. The DC jack grommet on the headlight
occasionally needs lubrication. We recommend using a bit of vaseline to
ensure easier connection between the plug and headlight. Remove all dirt
around or on the plugs or jacks on both the battery and headlight.
The High-Brightness LEDs have extensive life so bulb replacement is not
required.
