SILVA EXCEEDS 4XT THE FLEXIBLE, MODULAR HEADLAMP

Exceed 4XT is designed for Multi-activity Sports. Here is a description of the different options:

ADJUST THE HEADBAND

The headband is ergonomically shaped to give a comfortable fit. Use the 2 buckle adjustments to fit it perfectly to your head. Attach the headlamp to the head bracket by sliding the headlamp foot into the snap-in socket. To remove, slide the headlamp up and out of the bracket.

BATTERY CARRYING

The battery pack can be carried in multiple ways; for example in a pocket, backpack, or on the waist by using the extension cable and cable guide (rear), or mounted on the bike frame by using the Velcro strap.

MODULAR SYSTEM

In order to move the headlamp body from the headband to either the helmet bracket or the bar mount, gently push the lamp upward relative to the head plate with the headband. Insert the headlamp body in the new bracket and gently press it down until you hear a click sound.

BIKE HANDLEBAR ATTACHMENT

The bar mount is developed for use on bike handlebars with a dimension between 22 mm and 35 mm. The bar mount is easily attached to the handlebar with the snap lock function. Attach the headlamp to the bar mount by sliding the headlamp bracket into the snap-in socket. To remove, slide the headlamp up and out of the bracket.

HELMET ATTACHMENT

The helmet bracket + rear cable guide comes with pre-mounted adhesive tape on the back for easy mounting on any helmet. The adhesive is a polyethylene foam tape developed to not damage or cause any type of weakness to the plastic in your helmet.
To mount the helmet bracket, remove the protective film covering the adhesive tape. Make sure the surface of the helmet is clean and dry. Press the bracket onto its correct position. If you do not want to use the adhesive on your helmet the attachment is prepared for mounting with 2 or more straps on the sides. (Not included)
Attach the headlamp to the helmet bracket by sliding the headlamp bracket into the snap-in socket. To remove, slide the headlamp up and out of the bracket. Attach the cable by using the back cable guide or integrated helmet strap.
Depending on helmet type, it might be preferable to use the Helmet mode Flow light deactivated, when the headlamp is used on a helmet.
The headband is designed to fit on a helmet by detaching the battery holder thus giving you the flexibility to use either the included helmet bracket or to just snap the headlamp onto your helmet and go.

DURING USE

SILVA INTELLIGENT LIGHT AND FLOW LIGHT

SILVA Intelligent Light optimizes the light pattern by the unique combination of a long reach spotlight and a close floodlight. With fewer head movements and a clear view of near as well as far obstacles, you gain the balance and confidence it takes to move fast and perform better. Our ingenious SILVA Flow Light takes the optimization even further by providing seamless tuning of the light pattern for your favorite sport. Simply tilting the light downwards makes the beams wider to brighten up slower activities. When tilting the headlamp upwards, the light reaches longer to provide perfect vision when you move fast.

SWITCH ON YOUR HEADLAMP

A push-button is located on the left side of the headlamp body. This button controls all light modes.

To start the headlamp with Flow Light-activated press the push button with a short press.
To start the headlamp with Flow Light deactivated press and hold push-button for 1 second
To cycle between the different modes use short presses. · To turn the headlamp off press and hold the button for 1 second

DEACTIVATED FLOW LIGHT

Flow Light deactivated means that the Light image will remain unchanged even if the headlamp is tilted up or down. This might be useful when the lamp is mounted on a helmet or a bike handlebar.

BOOST MODE

Exceed has a Boost mode that temporarily increases the light output to 2300 lumen in 10 seconds. To enter Boost mode, do as follows:

Switch headlamp ON (with Flow light-activated or deactivated)
Keep the power button pressed until the headlamp turns OFF and keep pressing the button until the headlamp switches back ON.
The headlamp has now entered Boost mode
The light will remain in Boost mode for 10 seconds and then return to the light mode from where you entered Boost mode (for example MED)
Note! During the 10 seconds, the headlamp is in Boost mode it is not possible to use the power button.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Note that the headlamp body temperature will increase during use. The headlamp temperature is depending on light mode, ambient air temperature, and airflow (speed). Exceed 4XT is equipped with a temperature control unit that prevents the headlamp body from overheating by reducing the power to the LEDs. This means that the lower the ambient temperature, the stronger the light output.
Note! Always make sure to disconnect the battery when the headlamp is stored in a closed compartment such as in a bag, pocket, or similar.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
During the operation of the headlamp, there will be a low battery warning when 10% of the battery energy remains. This is done by flashing both LEDs for 1 second.

RESERVE MODE

During operation, the lamp will go into reserve mode when there is 10% power left in the battery. All LEDs will flash before the lamp goes into this mode. Reserve mode can be overridden by pressing the button.
Warning: If you have pressed the button when the headlamp is in reserve mode no more low battery warnings will appear before the headlamp turns OFF.

BATTERY STATUS INDICATION

When the battery is connected and the headlamp is switched on – the current battery status will automatically be visible for 30 seconds. To check battery status during use, the headlamp has to be switched OFF and then back ON again.

5 green LEDs = Fully charged
4 green LEDs = 80% of the battery remains
3 green LEDs = 60% of the battery remains
2 green LEDs = 40% of the battery remains
1 red LED = 20% of the battery remains
To get as much power as possible out of your battery, keep it away from low temperatures during use.

ABOUT LI-ION BATTERIES

The battery should be stored in a dry environment within the temperature range of -20°C and +35°C.
If you would like to store your battery for a longer period (more than 30 days) the battery should not be fully charged. This may cause a loss of its characteristics. Li-ion batteries have a discharge rate of approx. 20% over a 30-day period. You can always charge a half-full battery without damaging its characteristics. Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures which may cause fire or explosion. Do not disassemble or mistreat the battery; risk of a chemical burn. Keep away from children. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. This may cause an explosion. Do not submerge the batteries in water. Do not short circuit the contacts. Replace only with Silva batteries with the same connector as on Exceed 4XT battery.
