checking the indicator periodically while using the light.

• Do not place it within children’s reach.

batteries in the indicated orientation.

CAUTION!

• Hold near the lens when removing the lens body 

from the cover.

• Do not change the batteries when the headlight is wet.
• To prevent injury or malfunction due to battery 

leakage or other problems, do not mix old and

Precautions when replacing the battery

To maintain the high level of waterproofing, note the following points.
1. Ensure the rubber gasket is not misaligned or sticking out when 

inserting the lens body into the cover.

2. Firmly push the lens body into the cover, and then tighten the dial 

until it stops.

Wrap the strap around the handlebar and thread it 

through the hole on the base.
Pass the strap through the dial and attach the dial 

to the protrusion on the base.
Rotate the dial to tighten.
Slide the light unit into the rail until it clicks.
Adjust the angle of the light.

*  To readjust the angle of the light, loosen the dial 

and/or the screw enough to move the bracket, and 

firmly tighten them after adjustment. (*3)
Pull the light unit forward while pressing the release tab.
CAUTION!:

• Be sure to tighten the dial by hand. If tightened 

too hard with a tool, the screw thread may be 

stripped.

• If cutting the strap, be careful of injury from 

where the strap is cut. (*2)

• Check the dial and screw (*3) on the bracket 

periodically, to monitor for any loosening.
