Safety instructions:

Warning! Avoid looking directly into the light emitted by the light or shining the light into your own eyes or the eyes of another person. If the light accidentally shines into your eyes, close your eyes and move your  head out of the light beam. Do not use any strongly focusing optical device to look at the light beam. In cases where the light is used in a public or commercial setting, users should be provided with training  concerning the safety measures for laser light.
This device may then be used by children 8 years of age or older, persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, as well as persons with no previous experience in handling such devices, if they are  supervised by a person responsible for their safety .
Attention! Risk group 2: Proven optical radiation! Do not look into the lamp for a long time during operation. May be harmful to the eyes. Danger of glare: The strong glare of the lamp can be temporary Eyesight  and afterimages feel dying Irritation, authorizations or treatment commands can.
Re-charge you battery before using the light. Carry a spare light with you at all times, as the product can potentially fail unexpectedly at any time. In the event of any physical or internal battery failure, do not attempt to repair. No user-serviceable parts!
Automatic cutoff BLUETOOTH:
If the Lamphead is connected to the battery, without switching the light on, the Bluetooth module will automatically deactivate after 2 hours. You now can NOT turn on the light via the Bluetooth remote. Either press the lampheads switch, or reconnect the battery to start the Bluetooth module or light.
Heat generation:
The housing of Piko R may heat up; so make sure that you always keep the light at a safe distance to any combustible or flammable materials. Could cause fire or death! However, quiescent operation (without cooling the light housing via airflow or the like) is possible at any time and will not damage the product. When the light is being used in a stationary state, the light will be dimmed after a few minutes to reduce the light’s  temperature. Continuous operation at 20 watts is only possible with air flowing over the housing!
Important! Always disconnect the battery from the light at transport or storage!
Otherwise the small amount of power used by the electronics will discharge the battery, and the lamp may be switched on accidentally.
Water resistance:
All Piko R components are waterproof and can of course be used under extremely severe conditions. The lamp complies with IP protection class 68 but is NOT a diving lamp and is NOT suitable for use under water.

Operation

Initialization & voltage display:
After connecting the lamp to the battery, the software runs a self test. The lamp itself as well as the red and blue LEDs in the switch light up once. The battery voltage is indicated by the blue and red LEDs, as follows:

The blue LED flashes once for each volt; and then
the red LED flashes once for each 1/10 of a volt.
Example: The LED flashes seven times blue and five times red = battery voltage is 7.5 V.
Interpreting the voltage display:

Turn on:
The first press of the button switches on the light with maximum power. The blue LED is illuminated.
Switching:
Each quick push of the button switches through the dim levels.
Turn off:
To turn off the lamp, keep the button pressed.
Note: The light outputs the maximum amount of light only if airflow lowers the temperature of the light sufficiently. If the light is not cooled by airflow, its power is reduced incrementally to prevent the LEDs and electronic elements from overheating.

Meaning of LED colours

The switch on the Lamphead as well as the Bluetooth remote are equipped with a RGB-LED to show informations about the dim level and the remaining battery capacity.

| blue LED lit:| Lamp is on high beam.
---|---|---
| green LED lit:| Lamp is on a lower beam.
| red LED lit:| 1. Battery Warning, low capacity remaining.
The red LED is lighting.
You can adjust the timing of the battery warning, see programming on next page.
| red LED flashing + light flashing once:| 2. Battery Warning, very low capacity remaining.
The red LED is flashing and Piko R flashing ones, too.
| blue + red LED flashing in turn  + light flashing 5 times:| Warning!
The red and blue LED flashing in turn, the lamp flashes 30 times. Stop immediately! The light will be switched off.
| blue + red LED flashing in turn:| After switching the light on again, reserve power at a low beam is available. When reserve power is  completely discharged, the light will be switched off automatically. So slow down!
Note: The burn time remaining after the red LED is illuminated depends on the total battery  capacity, the ambient temperature and the age of the battery.

Programming

Light Levels:
By default, the Piko R operates in the 3-step mode, several other light programs are available.
They are very easy to select by simply keeping the button pressed until the button’s red or blue LED flashes once, twice, etc. When taking your finger off the button accordingly, the setting will be saved.

There will be no warning if the remotes button cell itself is empty.
Low button cell:
With decreasing voltage, the remotes LEDs will also become weaker, to the point the remote does not work anymore. Also cold temperature does reduce the battery voltage.
Transmitter battery change:
For changing the battery, loosen all 4 screws at the bottom of the transmitter using a T5 star drive key.
Insert the new CR 2032 button cell as shown and close the transmitter again.
Tighten the screws until the sealing is visibly squeezed.
