All Hope Technology lighting systems are covered for one year from original date of
purchase against manufacturer defects in material and workmanship. Proof of
purchase is required. Product must be returned to Hope Technology to process any
warranty claim. This warranty does not cover any damage caused through mis-use or
failing to comply by the recommendations given in this manual. This warranty does
not affect your statutory rights.
When the equipment has reached the end of its life please dispose
of the components in accordance with your local waste regulations.
Lamps and batteries should be recycled where possible and not
disposed of with regular waste. Li-Ion
We strongly advise you read the following recommendations in order to prevent
injury or damage to the lighting system.
WARNING
· This lighting system will withstand harsh wet weather conditions.
However, it is not designed to be submersed in water.
· Do not look directly at the beam, permanent eye damage could result.
Consider other people when mounting the light on the head to avoid
dazzling them.
· Keep this light away from children.
· This light unit can get hot when in use in maximum power mode. This is
normal and should not be mistaken as a malfunction. Please use with
caution.
· Unlike unregulated LED lighting systems, this light unit will shut down
suddenly after a period of time in low battery mode without any dimming of
the light. Please bear this in mind when using at night.
· Only connect the lamp unit to a compatible Hope Vision 7.4 V battery
pack. Any attempt to use or charge another battery pack may result in
explosion and serious injury.
· Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. This causes the battery to
overheat and could result in fire or explosion.
· The battery charger is designed for indoor use only and should not come
into contact with water.
· The battery charger contains dangerous voltages and the cover should
not be removed. Any attempt to open the charger will invalidate the
warranty.
· This light unit conforms to the requirements of EC directive 2004/108/EC
for electromagnetic compatibility.

In order to prevent any malfunction within your Li-Ion battery pack and to preserve
the capacity as much as possible, there are a number of procedures which must be
considered when storing your battery pack for long periods while not in use (ie.
over the summer months).
Storage and transportation:
Never carry the lighting system by the cable. This could result in damage to the
electrical connections and will invalidate your warranty.
Always disconnect the lamp unit from the battery pack when not in use. When the
lamp unit and battery pack are connected there is a small amount of power
constantly running through the circuit which could – over a period of time – over
discharge the battery pack resulting in loss of battery function and capacity. This
will also prevent the lamp unit accidentally switching on and potentially overheat-
ing, which could cause permanent damage to the lamp and battery. In extreme
cases, overheating could cause fire and/or death.
Storage Temperature:
The battery pack should be stored within the temperature range of -20°C to 25°C in
order to preserve cell capacity. Ideally in a cool, dry room such as a cellar or garage.
Over discharging:
As with most battery cells, Li-Ion cells may discharge if they are not used for a long
time. In order to prevent over discharging fully charge the battery pack before you
store it. Also, charge the battery pack periodically (ie. once every 3-4 weeks) to
maintain the voltage between 6.8V to 7.6V. Over discharging may cause loss of cell
performance, or damage battery function.
If these few procedures are followed correctly, you can be sure that when the dark
nights creep back in your HOPE VISION battery pack will be fit and raring to go!
If you find that the power connectors are becoming difficult to separate, we advise
using a small amount of silicone lubricant on the battery connector to ease fitting.
There are no serviceable parts inside either the light unit or battery pack. Please do
not attempt to disassemble the units, as this will invalidate the warranty. If you find
that there is a problem with the functioning of the lighting system please first
check that the battery pack is fully charged (see Charging the Battery Pack section).
If the light still fails to function please contact Hope Technology.

Note:
The R1 lamp includes an ‘energy preserve’ feature whereby the power will automati-
cally drop down from mode 3 to mode 2 towards the end of the battery discharge
cycle (i.e. after approximately 2 hours 15 minutes in mode 3 with the 2600mAh
battery, depending on conditions). This is to prolong the remaining 20-25% of energy
within the battery. If you attempt to select mode 3 during the energy preserve period
the lamp will immediately fade back down to mode 2 and block the selection of
mode 3 in order to maximise the remaining battery life. Operation of the lamp then
continues with only modes 1 and 2 remaining active with each subsequent press of
the power button. Mode 3 is no longer selectable. This is a deliberate characteristic of
the drive circuit and should not be interpreted as a malfunction.
The R1 also features a low battery warning mode. When the battery is almost at the
end of it’s discharge cycle the lamp will drop down into low power mode and flash
twice every 15 seconds to warn you that you are running low on battery life. Once the
lamp unit has dropped into low battery mode, no other modes are selectable.
Pressing the power button will only turn the lamp off or on.
*Although every effort is made to state accurate burn times, battery life is dependant on various factors and
environmental conditions. Therefore, actual burn times may vary from those shown.
The battery charger is designed for indoor use only and should not come into
contact with water.
The mains socket should be easily accessible. In the event of any operational
error the plug should be immediately removed from the mains supply.
The battery charger contains dangerous voltages and the cover should not
be removed. Any attempt to open the charger will invalidate the warranty.
NOTE: The rechargeable battery pack is supplied with a small charge for testing
purposes only. Therefore, it is recommended that the battery pack be fully
charged before first use.
To correctly charge the battery pack, ensure these steps are followed in order:
· Disconnect the battery pack from the light unit by pulling apart the two mating
DC connectors. Never disconnect the battery from the light unit by pulling the
cables. Always grip the moulded connector heads when disconnecting.
· Before connecting the charger to the mains supply, plug the charger into the
battery pack (1).
· Once the battery pack is connected to the charger it can then be plugged into
the mains power supply (2). The charger’s LED indicator will show as red during
the charging process. We recommend that the two mating connectors are rotated
at this point (3) to ensure that a good connection is made between the battery
pack and charger, and that the LED indicator turns red.
· When charging is complete, the charger’s LED indicator will turn green.
Disconnect from the mains power supply before disconnecting the battery pack
from the charger.
Charge Times: A fully discharged 5200mAh battery should take approx 6 hours to
fully recharge. The 2600mAh battery pack takes approx 3 hours to fully recharge.
DANGER: Use only the 7.4v Li-Ion battery pack supplied with the lighting
system. Any attempt to use or charge another battery pack may result in
explosion and serious injury.
