1. Battery set:

• 3 x Alkaline batteries AAA/LR03/Micro (1.5 V DC) (scope of delivery)
• 3 x NiMH-Accumulator AAA/LR03/Micro (1.2 V DC) (not included in scope of delivery)

2. Switching on and off

In the upper part of the headlamp housing of the SEO 3, between battery box and the part with the reflector lens, there is the switch button. This switch button is used to turn the SEO 3 on. It is also used to activate the various Light Programs and Lighting Functions (see Point 5) and to switch between white light and red light (see Point 5). In addition, you can also activate the"Transport Lock"(see Point 6).

3. Focus

In the front, narrower region of the headlamp housing is the reflector lens through which the light of the white LED (see Point 5.1) is focused. The reflector lens is held by a plastic ring. You can rotate that plastic ring using two fingers, and thus adjust the focus quickly and easily. This Turning Focus allows to adjust the angle of the white light beam continuously. Depending on whether you

want to illuminate an area in the distance or in front of you, you also can adjust the angle of light beam to the horizontal. For this you can simply tilt the part of the head lamp, which contains the reflector lens and the white LED. The screening allows using also intermediate positions.

4. Smart Light Technology (SLT)

The SEO 3 is equipped with our Smart Light Technology (SLT). Thanks to the use of a microcontroller, the light output of the LED can be controlled and the user can use various Light Programs and Light Functions. By using a single switch it was possible to design the interface to be simple and user-friendly. The SEO 3 can give the user light in different ways. There are thus two Light Programs and a number of Light Functions available. To switch the pocket torch on and off and to select the various Light Functions etc., the switch (see Point 2) has to be used. What basically applies is that the brightness of the SEO 3 is monitored by the in-built temperature control unit.

5. Light Programs and Light Functions

In the SEO 3 are two LEDs (LED=Light Emitting Diode) installed.

The white LEDs are ideal for normal use. This very bright white light might be not good when your eyes have become accustomed through the so-called dark adaptation to low ambient light. Otherwise than with the use of the whitelight, it remains the current adjustment of the eye to low brightness obtained when the red light of the red LED is used.

In order to switch between the white and the red LED, when the SEO 3 is off, press and hold the switch button for 2 seconds. The head lamp will change from red to white or from white to red, and then release the switch button before the lights go out, because if you press too long the switch button you activate the "Transport Lock" (see section 6)!

The points below deal with the Light Functions of the white LEDs (Light Program White / Point 5.1) and the red LED (Light Program "Red Night Vision" / Point 5.2).

5.1 Light Program White

If the Lighting Program White is enabled (see Point 5), you can use the white light of the head lamp.

When the switch button is pressed, if the SEO 3 is off, the head lamp glows in the Light Function Power at full brightness. When you switch a second time within 2 seconds, the SEO 3 glows with lower brightness (Light Low Power).

After the Light Function Low Power (altogether 3 times fast switching, i.e. you do not wait longer than 2 seconds between each switching) comes the Light Function Signal (slow even flashing) in the Light Program White.

Additional switching turns SEO 3 off and the circle starts again with the Light Function Power when you press the switch button again.

So the Light Functions are in a loop. But Please note that you turn off the head lamp by every switching if since the previous switching more than 2 seconds have elapsed. For example in case you let pass more than 2 seconds after you turned the Light Function Low Power on the next switching will not change to head lamp to Light Function Signal but will turn the SEO 3 off.

5.2 Light Program "Red Night Vision"

If the Lighting Program "Red Night Vision" is enabled (see Point 5), you can use the red light of the head lamp.

When the switch button is pressed, when the SEO 3 is off, the head lamp glows in the Light Function Power at full brightness in red. When you switch a second time within 2 seconds, the SEO 3 blinks in the Light Function Signal (slow even flashing). The Light Function Signal is the last Light Function that can be used in the Light Program "Red Night Vision" so additional switching turns SEO 3 off and the circle starts again with the Light Function Power when you press the switch button again. So the Light Functions are in a loop. But please note that you turn off the head lamp by every switching if since the previous switching more than 2 seconds have elapsed. For example in case you let pass more than 2 seconds after you turned the Light Function Power on the next switching will not change to head lamp to Light Function Signal but will turn the SEO 3 off.

6. "Transport Lock"

Under Point 5 it has been described how to switch between the white and the red LED. This takes place when the SEO 3 is off and the switch button is pressed only for approx. 2 seconds. The head lamp will change from red to white or from white to red. But when the switch is pressed longer (approx. 5 seconds) until the light turns off you have enabled the "Transport Lock". Then the SEO 3 can not be turned on again but the red LED flashes for a short moment to indicate that this function is activated in case the switch button is pressed. The SEO 3 therefore cannot be switched on, either intentionally or unintentionally and inadvertently consume energy.

Only when you hold the switch button pressed for 5 seconds again this function ("Transport Lock") is deactivated again and the lamp is in the Light Program White.

7. Reset function

If the used alkaline batteries are taken out the battery box you have "reset" the SEO 3. You have thus reset two functions:

• The "Transport Lock" (s. Point 6) is deactivated
• The Light Program White (s. Point 5) is activated

8. Use of rechargeable batteries

Only use 3 x Alkaline battery AAA/LR03/Micro (1.5 V DC) or 3 x NiMH-Accumulator AAA/LR03/ Micro (1.2 V DC) in your SEO 3. Please change all alkaline batteries respectively rechargeable batteries (i.e. accumulators) in time. The scope of delivery of the SEO 3 includes alkaline batteries. This type of battery cannot be charged resp. recharged.

9. Changing of the batteries / accumulators

Prior to the change, please turn off the SEO 3. On the wide side of the head lamp housing is the cover of the battery box. Nearby the switch button there is a plastic lip. If this lip is carefully pressed a little with e.g. your thumb up a little, the battery box cover can be folded down by using the small notches that are to the left and the right of the switch button.

You can now remove the Alkaline batteries respectively NiMH-Accumulator and insert new ones.

During insertion, it is vital the batteries point

in the right direction. Therefore, pay attention to the polarities (+ and -). Both in the battery box and also on the batteries / accumulators.

Otherwise, the hypothetical risk that batteries or accumulators are damaged and may explode.

After replacing the cover of the battery box has to be closed again.

Note - Please ensure that there is no short-circuit at the contacts of the batteries. The contacts of the batteries may not be touched with moist or metallic objects.

10. Headband

If the headband is not already connected to the lamp unit, proceed as follows.

Thread the end of headband with the narrow plastic part from the front through the eyelet on the left side of the head lamp housing. Note the orientation of the lettering on the headband. Run the headband then over the cover of the battery box to the eyelet on the other side of the battery box and run it through it to the front.

This end of the headband has got to be pulled through the hole beside the clipper at the plastic part on the other side of the headband. This elongate hole has got 4 small bars through which the narrow plastic part has to be run from the side.

This allows that the complete end is pulled through this hole and both ends of the headband are connected to each other.

By using the eye of the clipper the SEO 3 can e.g. attached to an ear of a belt or a backpack for transportation.

The third plastic component at the headband can be used to adjust the length of the headband in order to fit different head circumferences.

11. Rechargeable batteries / Accumulators

Non rechargeable batteries (e.g. Alkaline batteries) are not allowed to be charged. Never use non rechargeable batteries and accumulators together.

Change always all batteries / accumulators at the same time. Use in the SEO 3 only Alkaline batteries AAA/LR03/Micro (1.5 V DC) or NiMH-Accumulators AAA/LR03/Micro (1.2 V DC).

If you intend not to use the item for an extended period, please take out the batteries respectively the accumulators in order to avoid damage.

Discharged batteries (or accumulators – when they can't be recharged any longer) have to be taken out of the product and properly disposed with regards to the national laws.

In general, for the disposal of batteries as well as particularly for Lithium batteries, accumulators and accumulator packs, the applicable rule is that they may only be disposed of in discharged state and in a technically correct manner. Additionally before disposal it has to be ensured, by sticking non-conducting adhesive tape over the contacts that short-circuits are not possible.

Basically, the possibility of short-circuits of batteries and also accumulators must be eliminated and they may neither be opened, nor enter the human body in any way, nor may they be thrown into a fire.

12. Cleaning

For cleaning, please use a dry, lint-free, clean cloth. If salt water is spilled on the head lamp, it must be immediately entirely removed with such a cloth.

The headband can be washed in a washing machine at 30^ .

13. Scope of delivery

The SEO 3 incl. headband is supplied with the following accessories:

• Alkaline batteries AAA/LR03/Micro (1.5 V DC)
• Operating manual

Additional accessories for the SEO 3 are being designed. You can get information on these additional accessories over and above the supplied kit on our Internet page.

14. Caution

Do not swallow any small parts or batteries that are present. The products or parts thereof (including batteries) must be stored outside the reach of children.

For reasons of safety and approval (CE), the product must not be modified and/or changed.

The product is to be used exclusively as battery powered lamp. If the SEO 3 is used for any other purpose, or used incorrectly, it can get damaged and hazard-free use is not guaranteed any more (danger from fire, short-circuit, electric shock etc.). There is then no liability for harm to persons or damage to property, and the warranty of the manufacturer is also rendered null and void.

The temperature range in which the SEO 3 can be operated is -20C^ to +50C^ . Ensure that the SEO 3 is not subjected to more extreme temperatures, intense vibrations, explosive atmosphere, solvents and/or vapours.

Also continuously exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity and/or moisture have to be avoided.

Changes, repairs and maintenance over and above those described in the documents accompanying the product may only be carried out by authorised technical personnel.

Once it is found that the product is filled with full batteries in correct orientation (polarity!) and correctly closed, but nonetheless a normal, safe operation is not possible or the product shows damage, it must be rendered inoperative and not used any further. In this case, for warranty matters, contact your dealer.

15. Safety instructions

This product is not a children's toy.
- Since it has small parts that can be swallowed, it is not suitable for persons below 5 years.
The article may not be used for examinations of the eyes (e.g. for the so-called pupil test).
- When using it, the accumulation of heat, e.g. by covering, must be avoided.
- If the product does not work correctly, the first thing that must be checked is whether this is due to discharged batteries or because these are not inserted correctly.
If using in traffic, please follow the respective legal regulations.

The hazard that poses the main threat in this product through optical radiation is the BlueLight-Hazard (400nm to 780~nm) .Thermal hazard threshold values are clearly not reached.

The risk for the viewer depends on the use or on how the product is installed. However, there is no optical hazard as long as the aversion responses limit the time of exposure and as long as the information contained in this instruction manual is observed.

The aversion reactions are triggered by the

exposure and they are to mean all natural reactions that protect the eye from hazards through optical radiation. This includes in particular conscious aversion reactions such as eye or head movement (e.g. turning away).

When using the product it is of particular importance to bear in mind that the aversion reactions of persons at whom the light is directed at may be weakened or completely suspended as a result of medication, drugs or illness.

Because of the blinding effect of the product, improper use may lead to reversible, i.e. temporary impairment of sight (physiological blinding) or afterimages, or it may trigger feeling unwell in the sense of feeling queasy and tired (physiological blinding). The intensity of the temporary feeling of being unwell or the time until it subsides depend primarily on the difference in brightness between the blinding-light source and the surrounding area. Photosensitive persons in particular ought to consult a medical consultant prior to using this product.

As a matter of principle the rule is that high-intensity light sources carry a high secondary hazard potential due to their blinding effect. Just like looking into other bright light sources (e.g. headlights of a car), the temporary limited impairment of vision and afterimages may lead to irritation, inconveniences, impairments and even accidents, depending on the situation.

The information applies to the use of a single product. If more light-emitting products of the same type or of a different type are used together, the intensity of the optical radiation may increase.

Every longer viewing/eye-contact with the source of radiation of this product by the user or other persons, with and without other light-bundling instruments, is to be avoided as a matter of principle! Instead, the eyes are to be closed deliberately in such cases and the head ought to be turned away from the light beam.

In case of a commercial use or the product's use by public bodies, the user must be instructed as to all applicable laws and regulations that correspond to the individual case of usage.

Important rules of conduct:

• Do not aim the light beam directly into the eyes of a person.
• The user or any other person should not look directly into the light beam.
• In the event of optical radiation hitting the eye, the eyes must deliberately shut and the head is to be turned away from the beam.
• The instruction manual and this information must be stored safely and must be passed on together with the product.
  It is prohibited to look straight into the light that is being emitted by this product.
