Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get started, connect the included 1250 mAh CORE battery to a USB power source using the provided port. Charging takes approximately 3.5 hours for a full cycle. The battery level indicator will help you monitor usage. If you need to switch to alkaline batteries, simply open the battery compartment, remove the CORE pack, and insert three standard AAA batteries. To maintain the unit, clean it with a soft, damp cloth and ensure it is fully dry before storage. Although the lamp is IPX4-rated against rain and splashing, avoid using it in extreme conditions or near saltwater. Periodically check the headband for elasticity and wash it if it becomes saturated with sweat to prevent material degradation.
