3INSTRUCTION FOR USE AND
CARE
By pressing the red button on the top of the
torch, the torch lights up, illuminating with the
strongest intensity. When the button is pressed
for the 2nd time, the torch illuminates with
medium intensity (so that the batteries last
longer). When the button is pressed for the 3rd
time, the torch illuminates with dimmed intensity
(for the longest battery life). With a longer press
on the red button the torch shuts off. The torch
has a function to blink three times when it turns
on if the batteries power fall under 70%. In that
case the torch can be operated for eight more
hours at medium intensity. During operation, a
red LED light constantly flashes on the tail of the
torch for a better visibility of the user from the
back.
After using the torch, you should perform a
detailed inspection of the torch and check that all
its components are in place and properly fixed.
Replace any damaged parts only with original PAB
spare parts. Only original PAB spare parts are
permitted for replacement, and only these ensure
the expected performance of the torch. If
significant damage (broken parts, missing
components, cracks on the housing etc.) is
identified during a regular check, the torch should
be replaced. The torch should not be used if it is
evidently damaged, if proper servicing or
maintenance has not been performed, or if PAB
original spare parts have not been used.
Inappropriate use, maintenance, or servicing can
affect the function of the torch and can seriously
endanger the user’s life. The torch operability
must be checked and verified before each use.

SAFETY WARNING: Do not open the
torch housing in a hazardous area! Use
only 1,5 V AAA Alkaline batteries (*).
Improper battery installation can cause
the batteries to explode or leak and
cause severe injuries. Do not mix battery
types or batteries from different
manufacturers.
1.Unscrew the screws that hold in place
the housing cover.
2. Remove the old batteries and/or insert
a new set of alkaline batteries. Pay
attention to the orientation of the
batteries and follow the drawing in the
torch.
3. Reassemble the torch and tighten the
screws on the housing. Check that the
housing cover is properly positioned and
that the screws are tightened.
Clean well the helmet surface (1) with 90%
ethanol alcohol and then remove the
adhesive protective tape from the mounting
bracket of the torch (2).
Place first the head of the torch on the
frontal part of the helmet ridge so it fits the
shape of the frontal plate (3). Then bring
down the tail of the torch to the helmet ridge
so the adhesive adheres to the surface (4).
Make sure that you put enough pressure
with your hands on the tail of the torch so
the mounting bracket sticks well on the
helmet surface. Make sure the helmet torch
is fixed in place.
IMPORTANT: The gluing process takes 24
hours to complete. For the best adhesion of
the torch please do not remove the torch or
pull the mounting bracket during these 24
hours. If possible, do not use the helmet
during this time.
