FAQs
Can I charge the BD 1500 battery while it is inside the headtorch?

Does the headtorch remember my last brightness setting?
Yes, the Mode Memory feature ensures the light turns on at the same intensity level used prior to being switched off.
What does an IPX7 rating actually mean?
An IPX7 rating means the device is waterproof and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes.
How do I activate the Digital Lock?
Hold the primary switch for approximately 3-5 seconds while the light is off until the indicator light blinks to confirm activation.
Is the headband washable?
Yes, the elastic headband can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely.
Why would I use green or blue light modes?
Green and blue light modes are useful for specific outdoor tasks like map reading or tracking without alerting wildlife or compromising your dark-adapted vision.
Troubleshooting

Check if the Digital Lock mode is engaged and ensure batteries are inserted correctly with fresh cells.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before first use, engage the digital lock by holding the button for several seconds to ensure the unit is responsive. When cleaning, use only a damp cloth; do not submerge the unit in chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. After exposure to saltwater or muddy conditions, rinse the unit with fresh water to prevent debris from clogging the hinge or battery door. Always store the headtorch in a dry place with the batteries removed if you do not plan to use the device for an extended period.
