MOUNTING THE HEADLAMP
The Pro Series headlamp can be mounted to the handlebar or
a helmet.
Universal Handlebar Mount
The Universal Handlebar Mount
(UHM) is designed to fit on
virtually any handlebar. Included
with the mount is a 2.5 mm Allen
wrench for adjusting the mount.
1. Turn the knob counter-
clockwise, allowing the hinge to
swing open.
2. Place the UHM on the
handlebar on the left side the stem, orienting the rectangular
notch in the slider clip to the rear.
3. Swing the hinge down to make contact with the handlebar.
4. Swing the bolt up, seating the knob into its recess.
5. Turn the knob clockwise to tighten and secure the mount to
the handlebar.
The UHM can be adjusted to accommodate any handlebar
angle. By loosening the 2.5 x 30 mm Allen
screw, you can move the swing arm back and
forth to straighten the headlamp. Tighten the
2.5 x 30 mm screw after the adjustment.
To pivot the headlamp, loosen the 2.5 x 12
mm screw located under the slider clip and
swing arm and rotate the headlamp to the
desired position. Make this adjustment before
tightening the 2.5 x 30 mm screw.
Inserting the Headlamp into the Handlebar or Helmet Mount
Insert the headlamp into the handlebar or helmet
mount slider clip from the rear forward. Gently
rocking the lamp as you slide it may help. Do
not push the release lever when inserting
the headlamp into the slider clip; let the
lamp snap into place by itself.
To remove the headlamp, push the release lever forward and
slide the lamp backward.
Note: After mounting the headlamp, adjust it so the beam
illuminates the road properly without distracting oncoming riders.
Helmet Mount
1. Unclamp the straps on each side of the helmet mount and
pull them free.
2. Position the plastic mounting plate as close to the centerline
of the helmet as possible, orienting the parallel grooves on
the slider clip to the rear.
3. Feed each strap into and out of two helmet vents, circling
each strap back to the upper edge of the corresponding
clamp.
4. Fasten the straps by inserting them into the clamps and snap
shut.
MOUNTING THE BATTERY
Warning: For safety reasons, a cyclist should never be tethered
to the bike. If the headlamp is mounted to the helmet, do not
mount the battery to the frame. Conversely, if the
headlamp is mounted to the handlebar, do not place the battery
in a pocket or pack.
Frame Mount
1. Thread the velcro straps through the 2 slots on the bottom of
the battery.
2. Attach the concave surface of the battery to a safe,
convenient location on the frame (typically under the top or
down tube), placing the velcro strap over the tube, but
under any shift or brake cables. The cable from the battery
should extend toward the stem.
3. Secure the headlamp and battery cable to the frame
using the thin velcro strapettes. Make sure the cables do
not interfere with any moving parts.
Pocket or Pack
1. Route the 36" extension cable through a helmet vent or
along the outside of the helmet using the thin velcro
strapette to secure the cable.
2. Connect the 36" extension cable to the battery, making sure
the cable does not interfere with any moving parts.
3. Simply place the battery in a pocket or pack.
OPERATION
1. Connect the headlamp cable to the battery.
2. Press and release the headlamp power button to turn the
light on. Cycle through the three brightness levels by
pressing and releasing the power button.
3. To access the daylight saftey flash mode, press and hold the
power button until the headlamp starts to flash.
4. With the headlamp in flash mode, press and release the
Release Lever
power button to access Beacon, S.O.S. or Walk. From walk
mode you can return to normal mode by pressing and
releasing the power button.
5. To turn the headlamp off from normal, flash or walk modes,
press and hold the power button until the headlamp shuts
off.
6. Always disconnect the battery from the headlamp when
transporting the light system to prevent accidentally
turning on the headlamp which may cause overheating
and potential damage from high heat or even a risk
of fire.
