PETZL Aria 1 Waterproof Headlamp Instruction Manual

PETZL Aria 1 Waterproof Headlamp

Product Information

The ARIA headlamp is a hybrid headlamp that is compatible with AAA-LR03 alkaline, lithium, or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries and with the CORE rechargeable battery. The CORE rechargeable battery is a Petzl Li-Ion rechargeable battery with a capacity of 1250 mAh. The lamp comes with standard batteries or the CORE battery depending on the model.

Battery Precautions
It is important to read and understand the Instructions for Use before using the headlamp. The lamp is not recommended for children under 3 years old. Children under 12 years old should use the headlamp under responsible adult supervision. Failure to follow these precautions may result in severe injury or death.

Lamp Operation
To operate the headlamp, insert the compatible batteries into the designated battery compartment. Make sure to check the condition and polarity of the batteries and clean the contacts if necessary. If the lamp does not work, contact Petzl for assistance.

Charging the CORE Battery
If using the CORE rechargeable battery, it is important to charge the battery completely before first use. Only use a Petzl rechargeable battery with the headlamp. Li-Ion rechargeable batteries lose 10% of their capacity each year and can still maintain about 70% of their initial capacity after 300 charge/discharge cycles. When the CORE battery is nearly drained, the light may turn off abruptly.
