INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

DISTANCE LED HEADLAMP
IMPORTANT: Follow all instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.

WARNING!
Due to the high-power output of this light, the product creates electromagnetic fields that may cause interference with avalanche transceivers. When using this light on its highest output setting (PowerTap, 1500 lumens) the effective range of avalanche transceivers may be reduced. To avoid any potential interactions with avalanche transceivers, do not use the PowerTap when traveling through avalanche terrain. Always keep electronics at least 50cm away from your avalanche transceiver when performing a search and follow the transceiver manufacturer recommendations and user manual for specific guidelines.

BATTERY – RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM-ION Charging

Charge the battery completely before initial use.
Battery does not need to be fully discharged before being recharged.
Battery will automatically stop charging when fully charged.

Battery Life: Your battery life will vary depending on:

“Recovery time” or time when the lamp has not been on.
Temperature.
Settings used.
A full charge is needed to achieve maximum burn time!
Dispose of the device/batteries under applicable local laws and regulations.

Reserve: Additional time the lamp will produce usable light for low- intensity activities (measured to .25 Lux @ 4 meters.)

USE MODES

PROGRAMMING

The Distance 1500 comes packaged in “Time Mode.” Time Mode allows the user to use PowerTap to boost the light to maximum output for 10 seconds and then the light fades for 10 seconds to the previously set mode and brightness. If desired, the light can be reprogrammed to “Temperature Mode.” Temperature Mode maximizes the light output while maintaining safe operating temperatures when PowerTap is activated.
