the face guard.
2. Attach the mount to the preferred side of the face guard,
with the thumbscrew facing down.
3. Tighten the thumbscrew so that the mount is secure

OPERATION continued
Fuel Gauge
The 8-step, LED Fuel Gauge is located on top of the headlamp
in front of the power button. When all four LEDs are lit solid green,
the battery is fully charged. As the battery discharges
⅛ increments of capacity, the LEDs from right to left,
successively go from solid green to blinking green, to out.
With only the nal ⅛ capacity remaining one LED blinks red.
At this time, the headlamp should be turned o and the
battery recharged.
BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE
1. Plug the AC Adapter into an electric outlet, then plug the cable
from the AC Adapter into the battery.
2. The LED indicator on the battery will turn red while the battery
is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the LED will
turn blue.
3. Unplug the AC Adapter from the battery by grasping the
connectors rather than the cable.
4. Always store your battery away with a full charge.
For extended periods, charge the battery every three months
to maximize its lifespan.
