MOUNTING

MOUNTING ON HELMETS WITH AIR VENTS

Use the helmet mount with the velcro strap to attach it to helmets with air vents. Stick the one-sided adhesive rubber pad on the back of the helmet mount. Use the velcro strap to attach the mount to the helmet. If the straps are too long you can cut them to the right length. Make sure the mount is securely attached and check it before every activity. Use the extension cable included in the package contents to carry the battery in a backpack, a cycling jersey pocket, etc.

MOUNTING ON HELMETS WITHOUT AIR VENTS (DIRT-/FULLFACE-HELMETS)

Use the helmet mount with the double-sided adhesive pad to attach it to helmets without air vents. Stick the doublesided adhesive pad to the bottom of the helmet mount. When attaching the mount, be sure the adhesive pad is stuck to a smooth surface. The surface needs to be clean and free of any grease. Be sure it is securely in place before every activity.

Caution!
The attachment of brackets or objects at a helmet can affect its protective effect and restrict the user‘s freedom of movement.

MOUNTING ON HEADBAND

The headband has two mounts with the X-Lock mounting system. This allows you to attach the light head in the front and the battery pack in the backc.

X-LOCK MOUNTING SYSTEM

The mounts are equipped with the X-Lock mounting system.
This system allows you to attach the light head and the battery to the helmet mount or the headband. The components can be mounted in 90° steps. This gives you the option of mounting the battery vertically or horizontally, for example. Before each activity, check whether the light head and the battery are locked into the bracket.

CONNECTING

Connect the light plug to the battery pack. Be sure the plugs are securely connected and you feel them click together. When mounting the light and battery, check to make sure the connection won’t be lost because of your movement.

BEAM ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the light head, loosen the fastening screw by turning it counterclockwise. To secure it, turn the fastening screw clockwise again. Make sure the light head is securely mounted before every activity.
