The true performance of this product may vary according to different working environments. *The High output is measured in total of runtime including output at reduced levels due to temperature or protection mechanism in the design.

Warning

• Do NOT place this lamp in the reach of children!
• Do NOT shine the lamp directly into the eyes of anyone!
• Do NOT place light head near flammable objects, high temperatures can cause objects to overheat and become flammable/ignite!
• Do NOT use the lamp in inappropriate ways such as holding the unit in your mouth, doing so could cause serious personal injury or death if the headlamp or internal battery fails!
• This lamp will accumulate a significant amount of heat while operating, resulting in a high temperature of the lamp shell. Pay close attention to avoid burns.
• Turn off and lock the lamp to prevent accidental activation when the lamp is placed in a closed and flammable environment such as pockets and backpacks!

• Three lights on: 80% - 60%
• Two lights on: 60% - 40%
• One light on: 40% - 20%
• One light flashes: 20% - 1%

Intelligent Overheat Protection

The lamp will accumulate a lot of heat when used at high output levels for extended periods. When the lamp reaches a temperature of 60°C/140°F or above, the lamp will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature. When the temperature drops below 60°C/140°F, the lamp automatically recalls the previously used output level.
