USER INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGS:
For use in non-motorized recreational pedal cycling only. No helmet can prevent against all injuries. Serious injury or death may occur while cycling even with a helmet. Lumos makes no claim that this helmet will eliminate all possibilities of injury.

Lumos lights are designed to be a supplement and NOT a replacement to regular bike mounted front and back lights. Certain states, cities, and counties have laws that require cyclists to have bike mounted front and back lights at all times. Please ensure that you are aware of, and comply with your local laws.

Lumos is designed to be a supplement, and NOT a replacement to hand signals. Please continue to give hand signals while cycling on the road. While we designed the “hard brake” and turn signals to be as recognizable and intuitive as possible, we make no claim that motorists or people around you will recognize what they mean, or that they will see it. Having lights is good practice, but is no guarantee against preventing an accident or collision.

When activating the turn signal, glance at the remote to ensure that you activated the correct turn signal. Activating the wrong turn signal or leaving your turn signal on can be very hazardous and can potentially increase the risk of a collision due to the miscommunication. After completing your turn, also be sure to turn the turn signal off.

This helmet is not designed for motor vehicle use and not for sports other than those for which it was certified. Every time you use this helmet check that nothing is badly torn, worn, missing, or out of adjustment. This helmet should not be used by children while climbing or doing activities when there is a risk of the child hanging himself or herself. For proper fit, follow the instructions below.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ATTACHING THE REMOTE MOUNT TO YOUR HANDLEBARS:

1. Attach the mount to your handlebar using 2 silicone rubber bands. We’ve provided several bands of various sizes to accommodate different handlebar sizes. Ensure that the mount is securely attached to your handlebar.
2. Place the remote on the mount and twist to lock it in place.

USING THE HELMET

TURNING THE HELMET ON/OFF + SELECTING THE FLASHING MODE

To turn off, press and hold the power button To change the flashing mode, press the power button for a short press

CHARGING THE HELMET AND REMOTE

Note that when the battery on the helmet is low, the power button will start flashing red. At this point there is only approximately 30min of charge left in the helmet.

When the battery on the helmet is critically low and is about to shut off, before it does so the helmet will beep several times to inform you that it is about to shut off. (in case you are riding with it at the time)

When the battery on the remote is low, both buttons on the remote will flash red. Please recharge the remote immediately. The remote uses the same charging cable as the helmet.

PAIRING THE HELMET WITH THE REMOTE

If the helmet is not responding to the remote, either you need to charge the remote, or the remote is not paired with the helmet. To pair the remote to the helmet, follow these steps:

1. Turn your helmet off. Then press and hold the power button till you hear a beep.

2. Press and hold both buttons on the remote till you see both button lights turn on.

3. Press any one button on the remote. Your helmet will respond accordingly, and will automatically exit pairing mode. Your helmet and remote are now paired.

CONNECTING THE HELMET WITH YOUR PHONE
Connect your Lumos Helmet to your phone via Bluetooth by following these steps:

1. Download the Lumos app (currently only available on iOS)

2. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone and launch the app.

3. Follow the instructions on the app to pair the helmet with your phone.

USING THE AUTOMATIC WARNING LIGHTS

Using a motion sensor in the remote, Lumos senses when you’re making a sudden change in motion and turns all the lights at the back of your helmet solid red to indicate that you are slowing down.

This feature is still being refined, and is currently only available in beta. To activate and use the automatic warning light feature, follow the instructions in the included sheet titled “A NOTE ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC WARNING LIGHT FEATURE.”

Note: Activating the automatic warning light feature will also decrease the battery life of your remote significantly.

In its normal mode your remote would last for approximately 1 month on a single charge. With the automatic warning light feature battery life will depend on frequency of use, but can drop to less than a week on a single charge.

RESETTING YOUR HELMET
In rare situations you might find your helmet gets “stuck” (eg. helmet cannot be turned off or is non-responsive to button presses.

In this situation your helmet might need to be reset. To reset, simply connect your helmet to the charger, and it will automatically reset itself.

If you still encounter problems, email us at support@lumoshelmet.co and we will be happy to assist you!

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. The helmet must fit properly to be effective. With a proper fit, the helmet will not move back and forth or side to side while fastened. The helmet can only protect if it fits well. The buyer should try different sizes and choose the size which feels secure and comfortable on the head.
2. Tighten or loosen the rear adjustment dial to fit the circumference of your head as required.

3. Adjust the strap tension at the buckle so that the helmet is strapped snugly. Tighten the strap as required to obtain a snug fit. With the helmet on and tightly fastened, make sure the helmet cannot be removed from your head or rolled backward or forward excessively. Be sure that the buckle is not against the jawbone.

4. When properly fitted and adjusted, your ears should not be covered by any part of the straps.
5. Make sure you can see clearly and your peripheral vision is not blocked.

To check for proper tension, put on the helmet and fasten the buckle. Open your mouth. You should feel the strap pulling against your chin. Then attempt to pull the helmet off the front or rear. If the helmet comes off, increase strap tension and examine if thick enough pads are being used. The helmet should not be able to roll forward or backward excessively. It should not be possible to remove the helmet without unfastening the buckle.

NOTE: Please check adjustment every time this is helmet is worn.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

1. For cleaning, use a soft cloth, mild soap, and water only. Your fit pads are removable and should be washed by hand with mild soap and water, rinsed and then air dried only.

The helmet will be damaged if exposed to temperatures exceeding 62˚C (150˚F).

During transportation, do not expose your helmet to impact or external force. Store in a dry place, away from heat from, for example, a radiator or direct sunlight through a car window.
2. Replacement: This helmet is designed to absorb shock through partial destruction of the energy absorbing liner. This damage may or may not be visible to the user.
