1.) R E D B EFORE U SE !
General:
Congratulations! You have just bought the one and only Lupine LED Head- Lamp – no other
will give you more light!
The light and charger are ready to use immediately. Please read this instruction manual
carefully and completely to familiarise yourself with all the functions. efore hitting the trails, try
the system at home first to prevent any surprises while riding. For further details about
individual settings of the Betty X Pro please read "Technical Informations PCS V7.1".
As with any other electrical device, there is a slight chance of failure at any time. Please be
aware and use with caution.
Lupine accepts no liability for any injuries or other damages arising from the use of this
product.
Rechargeable Battery:
The battery is supplied with a very small amount of charge. Before use it must be fully
charged (see chapter 4 "Charging"). The rechargeable Li-Ion battery will reach its full power
after 1 charge cycle.
It might become hot!
The Betty X Pro is not a simple torch. The lamp housing can become very hot if used without
airflow. Do not touch the lamp during or immediately after use.
If lamp is used without any airflow temperature control will reduce light power
stepless up to 6 W after some minutes automatically.
Dazzling:
The Betty X Pro is a powerful lighting system. Always use it with care and with respect for
others (especially when mounted to a helmet). Do not look directly into the light.
Waterproof?
All components of the Betty X Pro are waterproof and will withstand even the most extreme
conditions. However, it is not a diving lamp and therefore not suitable for use under water.
Warranty:
The two year warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship only. Batteries are not
covered by this warranty. Modifications to the light or improper use also voids this warranty.

2.) M OUNTING
The Betty X Pro is supplied already mounted to the head belt. However if you wish to use
the Betty X Pro on a bicycle please read the mounting instructions below:
Lamp:
Mounting the lamp with the O - ring :
If you are feeling strong, use the finger hook method (see fig.1). For others, who prefer the
less strenuous method, hold the O-ring with one finger, and push the lamp back until the O-
ring can be secured on the hook of the lamp. (fig.2)
fig.1
fig.2
fig.3
PCS V7 switch :
The PCS 7.1 is designed for use on the right hand side of the lamp (see fig.3). Before
attaching the velcro strip to the handle bar, ensure that the surface is free of dirt and oil. The
velcro strip should be applied at room temperature, colder temperatures will cause the
adhesive not to work.
For applying the O-Ring to fix the switch to the handlebar see the separate information sheet
"Technical Information PCS V7.1".
An optional upgrade mounting bracket for the switch is also available (Peppi 3).
Now plug the rechargeable battery to the lamp and your Betty X Pro is ready to go.

3.) U SING THE LIGHT
Initialising:
fter connecting the lamp to the rechargeable battery, the software will start a self-
test (the 4 LEDs of the PCS will flash) The Power LEDs will flash once. The batteries
voltage will be indicated with the blue and green LED. Now the Betty X Pro is ready
for use. (Please read also "Technical Information PCS V7.1")
Switch on:
By pressing the PCS switch for the first time, the beam starts running on maximum power. The
blue and green LED will glow.
Dimming:
Pressing the button once, after the light has stablised, will switch the light to low beam
(the blue LED is off). By pressing the button again the light will return to high beam mode.
Switch off:
You can switch off the Betty X Pro by pressing the PCS button longer than 2 seconds.
Controlling the remaining light time:
The electronics of the PCS 7.1 not only control the high and low beam; they also protect the
rechargeable battery against over-discharge and include a low battery indicator.
Low battery is signalled by the yellow and the red LEDs.
When the yellow LED lights: Significant amount of the capacity is gone!
Red / yellow LEDs
and Power LED’s blinks: Light will automatically switch off
in a few minutes!
It is a matter of experience to interpret exactly how much time is left after the LEDs light up.
Remaining burn time depends on the battery's age and capacity, the operating temperature
and the capacity gauge program (Low, Middle, High; see "Technical Information PCS V7").
Hint: When the yellow and the red LEDs light up you can increase the remaining burn time
with economical use of the high beam.
Reserve tank:
When the battery is almost empty (yellow and red LEDs have been lit for several minutes
already) the lamp switches off automatically. By double clicking the switch the reserve tank is
activated, which provides some additonal hours of emergency light. A flashing red LED
indicates the reserve tank has been activated. The performance of the reserve tank also
depends on the battery condition.
When the reserve tank is empty, the light will switch off and must not be restarted.
ttention ! Reserve tank is not available if 0.25 W level is used for a longer time.
Caution! Switching on is not possible at this point. If you unplug the battery and then re-
attach it, you will have only unreliable light for some seconds!
Never store a discharged battery. Recharge your battery as soon as possible!

4.) Charging the rechargeable battery
Components:
The charging system of the Betty X Pro consists of two components:
-AC/DC adaptor ( and included 12 car adaptor )
-Charger One
The Charger One was developed for use Lupine’s high current Li-Ion rechargeable batteries,
but it is also fully compatible with all other Lupine rechargeables (Ni-MH as well as NiCd).
Connection:
Plug the AC/DC adaptor into the mains. Plug the adaptor into the socket of the Charger One.
After a short initialisation the display will show: "Li Ion ready for charge".
Charging:
The Charger One is now ready to charge. Plug the rechargeable battery into the Charger One
and charging will start automatically. The first line of its display shows: "Li Ion charge". The
information displayed on the second line is explained in the "Technical Information Charger
One".
Keep the rechargeable battery plugged into the Charger One until the display reads:
"Li Ion full".
Charging is now complete; the battery is full and is now ready for use.

Programming :
It is possible to modify the charging properties of the Charger One to your individual settings.
For details see the "Technical Information Charger One"
This programming can be done using the small "select" button on the Charger One. If this
button is not pressed the Li Ion program will be the default setting and will be used every time
you connect the Charger One to the AC/DC adapter. By pressing the select-button you can
toggle between the different charging programs for the different types of rechargeable
batteries.
For Li Ion batteries only use the Li Ion program (Display: "Li Ion ready for...charge")!
Note: The Charger One always defaults to the program that was selected when the charger
was unplugged from the power supply.
If the select button is pressed for a period longer than 3 seconds you will access the
programming mode. If this has been done by error and the settings have been changed,
please do the following:
Unplug the Charger One from the AC/DC adaptor. Do not have the battery connected to the
Charger One! Now plug the Charger One to the AC/DC adaptor while holding down the select
button. The Charger One display will show its name and version number. Release the button.
The Charger One has now been reset to the default setting.
Ensure the display shows "Li Ion ready for...charge". If it does not, toggle to Li Ion mode by
pressing the select button (repeatedly).
Caution!!
The Charger One can be used to charge all types of Lupine rechargeable batteries.
You must not use this charger with unrechargeable batteries!! They will explode!!
The Charger and AC/DC adaptor should not be opened by the user as this will invalidate the
warranty.
5.) C RE ND S TOR GE
Lamp:
All components should be cleaned with warm soapy water, but do not use a high pressure
spray or hose to clean the system. To get all water out of the housing etc. turn the light on for
a few minutes.
The battery pack is water resistant. Unlike other lighting systems, it is easy to open. If used in
very wet conditions, please take the battery out of the softcase and let the case and battery
dry separately.
Connectors:
In normal conditions, the connectors do not need special attention. However if you use the
light in very humid and/or corrosive conditions they should be greased with the included Dutch
grease. Do not use contact-sprays or contact-greases! They contain corrosive ingredients that
will damage the connectors.
Transport:
In case you transport your light in its bag or a other box so that the PCS button might
accidentally be pressed: lways unplug the battery from the lamp unit.
Storage:
For short periods of time, store the battery fully charged. Disconnect it from the lamp unit.
Before using the system again, re-charge the battery fully. If you intend not to use it for a
longer period (over 3 months), we strongly recommend to store the battery in a cold
place. This will prevent the battery from over-discharging.
