Connecting a Power Source

Connecting a Power Source
Use the USB cable of the HU60 to connect an external power source, and the indicator beneath the Power Button on the headlamp will fade in/out constantly for notification. The NITECORE NPB Series Power Bank is recommended as it has a cable lock on the output ports specially designed for the USB cable of the HU60 as illustrated to prevent accidental disconnection from the power source.

Possible dangerous radiation! Don't look into the light! Maybe dangerous for your eyes.
When the product is kept in a backpack, please disconnect it from the power source to prevent accidental activation.
When the product is left unused for a prolonged time, please disconnect it from the power source to save power.

Remote Control

The HU60 is designed with a wristband remote for wireless control. After pairing, the buttons on the remote control have the same functions as those on the headlamp as illustrated. The pairing is already factory preset before packaging.

The remote control is powered by a 3V CR2025 Button Cell Battery which enables approx. 10,000 presses. The standby time is approx. 12 months if the battery is inserted with full power.
The effective remote distance is approx. 2m (6.56ft) if there are no obstructions between the headlamp and the remote control.
When the battery of the remote control needs to be replaced, please use a screwdriver or a coin to unscrew the cover counterclockwise until one of the dots on the cover is aligned with the unlock symbol, insert the battery with the positive end outwards, and then screw the cover clockwise until one of the dots is aligned with the lock symbol.

Please follow the steps below for re-pairing if either the remote control or the headlamp is replaced:

After the headlamp is connected to the power source, press and hold both the Power Button and the T Button on the headlamp for over 3 seconds until the indicator beneath the Power Button flashes quickly to indicate that the headlamp is in the pairing status. (This status will last for approx. 30 seconds)
When the headlamp is in the pairing status, press and hold both the Power Button and the T Button on the remote control until the headlamp is turned on to indicate that the pairing is complete.

Note:

When the headlamp is in the pairing status but the pairing procedure is not complete in 30 seconds, the headlamp will automatically return to the standby status.
When the headlamp is turned on in the pairing status, it will automatically exit the pairing status.
During the pairing procedure, please ensure that the headlamp and the remote control are kept within 30cm (11.8").
Please replace the battery of the remote control when its power is low. Battery replacement will not cause re-pairing of the devices.
