Health risk
IMPAIRMENT CAUSED BY THE FLASHING FUNCTION
When using the flashing function, dizziness, vision-impairment,
convulsions, loss of consciousness, disorientation or cramps may
occur.
Therefore:
• In the event that one of the symptoms mentioned above occur,
immediately switch off the flashing function/headlamp.
• People who suffer from reflex epilepsy (photosensitivity) when exposed
to flashing lights may not use the flashing function.
What to do:
→ In the event that symptoms occur, switch off the headlamp and consult
a doctor.
ACCIDENT/INJURY RISK FOR CHILDREN
Do not permit the headlamp to be operated by children, by persons
under the influence of medication or drugs, or by persons with
physical or mental disabilities/illnesses, as there is a risk of injury to
the eyes and a risk of accidents.
Therefore:
• Do not allow children to play with the headlamp.
• Persons with limitations should only use the device under the
supervision or instruction of a responsible person.
RISK OF GLARE
The strong glare-effect of the headlamp may, however, cause
temporarily limited vision and after-images that may cause
irritation, disturbances or accidents.
Therefore:
• Never ever look directly into the beam of light or illuminate the eyes of
another person, do not carry out pupil testing.
• Do not point the beam of light at people or animals as they may be
dazzled.
• Do not use any optically highly-focused devices to observe the beam of
light.
• Do not use multiple headlamps at once as this increases the optical
radiation and thus increases the risk of retina damage.
• Commercial users or users in the public services are to be instructed in
the applicable laws and regulations.
What to do:
→ If a beam of light hits the eyes, deliberately close the eyes and move the
head out of the beam of light.
