To begin using the NU20 Classic, charge the device fully using the provided USB cable until the indicator light signals a full charge. The adjustable headband can be customized to fit securely against your head or over a lightweight running hat. For maintenance, clean the lens occasionally with a microfiber cloth to prevent light diffusion caused by dirt or oils. The device is IP66 rated, meaning it is protected against heavy splashing, but it should not be submerged underwater. Always store the unit in a dry place and charge it at least once every three months if it remains unused for extended periods to preserve the lithium-ion battery health.
