Product Use
Observe the following precautions to avoid injury or damage to your product while using the product.
WARNING
· Bicycling is associated with particular risks and dangers for the rider. These risks and dangers can be reduced, but not eliminated completely, by wearing a helmet. It is impossible to state precisely what the protective effect of a helmet will be in the event of an accident. Safe riding techniques, adapted to the particular road and weather conditions, are essential for your safety.
· Do not wear a helmet while climbing trees, in play areas, on playground equipment, or, at any time while not riding a bicycle. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury, death or death by strangulation.
· Your helmet will not protect against injury in all types of accidents. Even while wearing a helmet, low speed accidents may result in serious head injury or death.
· Careless use of the product on the road is risky and may result in serious injury, death or damage. You must heed all safety precautions in all documents that come with this product. This will help minimize the chance these risks may occur while riding.
CAUTION
· For maximum protection, this helmet must be fitted and attached properly to the rider’s head according to the User’s Guide.
· Position the helmet on your head with the front covering your forehead. If the helmet is tipped back and is not covering your forehead then the helmet is not in the proper position.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

MENU

· The protective capability of your helmet will diminish over time, dependent upon many factors such as physical damage, exposure to pollution, harmful chemicals and long term exposure to the sun. Sena recommends that the helmet be replaced after five years. Although the shell is in principle capable of a longer service life, the occurrence of material fatigue and wear to other components, as well as the overall action of the helmet and the unknown conditions in which the helmet has been used, make it advisable for your own safety to replace the helmet after this period of use.
· Do not use product for extreme uses such as downhill racing at high speeds, jumping or leaping with a fully suspended bicycle, snow sports, water sports, motor sports, street hockey, playground activities, or other activities where face, ear, or greater protection or coverage is desired.
· The safety helmet is designed to absorb only one impact and damage from an impact is rarely visible from the outside. It is therefore essential to replace the helmet after a fall, accident or other violent impact. Such helmet should be returned to original place of purchase for inspection, or destroyed and replaced. In the event of any impact, do not use this helmet.
· Any helmet that has been subjected to a violent impact should be replaced. · To provide maximum protection, the helmet must fit properly on the head and its
chinstrap securely fastened under the chin. · Always fasten the chinstrap before setting off and check that the buckle system
and straps are correctly in position. · Never ride with the buckle unfastened or incorrectly adjusted. The chinstrap must
be correctly positioned and must not come loose when pulled. · No helmet provides absolute protection from all conceivable impacts. This
helmet has been specially developed for bicycle riding and is unsuitable for other purposes. · Examine the helmet for damage at regular intervals. Small scratches will not impair the protective function of your helmet. · Check for proper fit and adjustment often, including each time you wear it, and periodically during use. · Always make sure the buckle is properly fastened and the loose end of the chinstrap is tucked through the rubber “O” ring before you ride. Failure to follow this instruction could result in serious personal injury. · The helmet safety mechanism described above can also cause small cracks in the shell when the helmet is dropped from a small height (less than 1 meter). · Use of the product at a high volume for a long period of time may damage your eardrums or hearing ability. · Do not wear anything underneath your helmet, such as a cap, hood, bundled hair, headphones, or barrettes, as the helmet may loosen or come off. Do not wear anyone else’s helmet and don’t loan your helmet to anyone else. · When relevant, follow all regulations regarding the use of the camera. (1) Do not use your camera in an aircraft, unless permitted. (2) Turn off the camera when you are near medical equipment. Your camera can
cause interference with medical devices in hospital or healthcare facilities.

ABOUT THE R1 SMART CYCLING HELMET

1.1 General Information
This product is a bicycle helmet. Do not use it for any other purpose than riding a bicycle. If you use the helmet for anything else, it may not provide sufficient protection in an accident. Sena recommends that you choose a helmet which provides the most coverage, as a helmet that covers more of your head may provide additional protection. Always wear your bicycle helmet low in the front to protect the forehead, as this area is most likely to be impacted in a bicycle crash. Make sure the helmet fits comfortably and is tightly fastened at all times.
WARNING · Your helmet will not protect against injury in all types of accidents.
Even while wearing a helmet, low speed accidents may result in serious head injury or death. A bicycle helmet will not protect against injuries to the spine, neck or face. In the event of any impact, do not use this helmet. There may be damage invisible to you, which may reduce the ability of the helmet to reduce the harmful effects of a blow to the head. Such helmet should be returned to Sena for inspection, or destroyed and replaced. · Do not modify or remove any original part of the helmet. Do not use heat damaged helmets. Heat damaged helmets will appear to have uneven or have bubbly surfaces. · This User’s Guide and the stickers inside your helmet contain many instructions and warnings about your helmet. It is important for you to understand everything communicated in them before your first ride. If you do not, please contact your authorized Sena Retailer with any questions you may have. Failure to follow any of the provided instructions or warnings could void your warranty, and most importantly, could result in severe personal injury or death. If you are a parent or guardian and this helmet is for your child, please take the time to read this manual as you should make sure your child understands everything in this User’s Guide.

MENU

WARNING · For maximum protection, the helmet must fit properly on the
head and its chinstrap securely fastened under the chin. With the retention system comfortably but firmly adjusted, the helmet should allow sufficient peripheral vision when secured. If the helmet is too large, it may move on your head while riding. If the helmet can be moved when pulled from the back in an upward and forward direction, then the helmet is not fitted properly. This could cause the helmet to obstruct your vision while riding or come off in an accident, resulting in personal injury or death. Please refer to Section 1.4: “Wearing the Helmet” for more details about properly securing and wearing your helmet.

1.4 Wearing the Helmet

MENU

1.4.1 How to Wear The Helmet
For proper use, the helmet must sit level on the head and low on the forehead. The Sena helmet uses a simple, quick-release buckle system that, once adjusted, can be buckled and unbuckled without changing the adjustment. For proper use, the straps must be tight and evenly tensioned.
To properly wear your helmet:
1. Position the helmet on your head with the front covering your forehead. If the helmet is tipped back and is not covering your forehead then the helmet is not in the proper position.

WARNING: Always wear the helmet in the proper position on your head with the front of the helmet covering your forehead for maximum protection. Never wear the helmet tipped back as the helmet will be in the improper position causing your forehead to be exposed. All fitment adjustments need to be made with the helmet in the proper position.
2. Position the strap adjuster centered, just below your ears.

3. Position the helmet low on your forehead with the buckle under the chin and back against the throat. The straps should fit comfortably around both ears.

4. With the strap adjuster in the proper position, adjust the chinstrap tension at the buckle. Adjust the tension so the chinstrap is tight and comfortable by pulling the chinstrap end through the buckle to either tighten or loosen as needed. Use the “O-Ring” to secure the excess strap. Always wear the helmet with the chinstrap buckle fastened and the chinstrap pulled tight and positioned back against the throat. With the strap buckled and the helmet positioned, you should feel the chinstrap pull firmly against your chin as you open your mouth. When properly adjusted the helmet will wrap around your head and cradle it with firm, but comfortable pressure.

1.4.2 Helmet Fitment Check
With the retention system knob turned clockwise until comfortably tight and the chinstrap buckled under the chin and back against the throat, grab the helmet with both hands and try to remove it by rolling the helmet forward and backward as far as you can. This is an important test to ensure that the helmet fits correctly. When you do this, you should feel the chinstrap pull against the underside of your chin and the helmet will resist any movement. If this isn’t the case, tighten the chinstrap and try it again until this happens. If you cannot achieve the proper fit, DO NOT USE THIS HELMET. Replace it with a different size until the correct fit is achieved.
Also, for a proper Helmet Fitment Check if you can roll the helmet forward such that it blocks your vision or if you can roll the helmet backwards such that your forehead is not covered, tighten the chinstrap and the retention system and try again until you cannot roll the helmet forward or backwards.
WARNING · Do not wear anything underneath your helmet, such as a cap,
hood, bundled hair, headphones, or barrettes, as the helmet may loosen or come off. Do not wear anyone else’s helmet and don’t loan your helmet to anyone else.
· Always make sure the buckle is properly fastened before you ride. Failure to follow this instruction could result in serious personal injury, as the helmet may not stay in position while riding or during a fall. For proper use, make sure the loose end of the chinstrap is tucked through the rubber “O” ring.
· Check for proper fit and adjustment often, including each time you wear it, and periodically during use.
· This helmet has been designed for recreational bicycling. This helmet has not been approved and is not intended for extreme uses such as downhill racing at high speeds, jumping or leaping with a fully suspended bicycle, snow sports, water sports, motor sports, street hockey, playground activities, or other activities where face, ear, or greater protection or coverage is desired.
· Always wear a helmet when bicycling. When you get off your bicycle, remove your helmet. Do not wear a helmet while climbing trees, in play areas, on playground equipment, or, at any time while not riding a bicycle. Parents: Instruct children to follow this warning. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury, death or death by strangulation.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

The inner lining of the helmet is completely removable. Its headliner can be washed by hand using only water, mild soap, at a maximum temperature of 30ºC (86ºF), and non-abrasive cloths to clean the helmet’s shell, pads and retention system. Allow the padding to dry at room temperature. Store the helmet in a dry, dark, well-ventilated location, out of the reach of children and animals. High temperatures (above 110ºF, 43ºC) may melt the helmet’s shell.
WARNING · Never use gasoline, diesel fuel, thinners or solvents to clean the
helmet. These substances can cause serious damage to the helmet, even though the resulting damage may not be visible. This helmet can be damaged by contact with common substances (for example, certain solvents (ammonia), cleaners (bleach), paints, abrasives) and this damage may not be visible to the wearer. Do not use this helmet if it has been exposed to such substances. The full safety function of the helmet can no longer be guaranteed if exposed to damaging substances. · Do not store your helmet in your car or anywhere else near a heat source. Do not use if the shell has been melted or deformed. Always position the helmet so that it cannot fall to the floor. Damage that occurs in this way is not covered by the warranty. · Do not attach anything to your helmet, including mirrors or lights.
The shell of this helmet is constructed of expanded polymer foam. Ventilation holes may allow harmful objects to pass in the helmet interior. The protective capability of your helmet will diminish over time, dependent upon many factors such as dents, dings, and exposure to pollution, harmful chemicals and long term exposure to the sun. Sena recommends that helmets be replaced after five years.
Note: The useful life of your helmet may be less than five years as a result of exposure to sunlight, rough, handling/storage that results in dents or cuts or as a result of heavy use.
