Congratulations! You are now the owner of a top quality ABUS bicycle helmet. This

helmet has been produced under strict conditions and is certified according to the following standards:

• Please read and follow these safety instructions. Non-observance of these instructions
  could lead to fire, injury to persons and/or device damage!
• Keep packaging material away from children: Danger of suffocation!
  • ABUS August Bremicker Söhne KG hereby declares that this helmet is Category II personal protective equipment (PPE), and complies with Regulation (EU) 2016/425.
• ABUS August Bremicker Söhne KG hereby declares that the radio equipment type HYP-E, Remote Control Indicator Light and Remote Control Brake Light (OxiBrake) is in compliance with Directives 2014/53/EU and 2011/65/EU. The full Declaration of Conformity can be found online at: docs.abus.com
  • EN 1078:2012+A1:2012 – European standard for cyclists, skateboarders and inline skaters.
  • This helmet has been certified by KIWA Nederland B.V., Wilmersdorf 50, 7327 AC Apeldoorn, The Netherlands, NB 0063.

Attention: Please note that no helmet is indestructible and will not prevent all head injuries.

For the best possible protection, please observe the following guidelines:

1. Usage

This helmet is recommended as protective equipment for the following activities (fig. A). It is not suitable for the following activities (fig. B).

Attention: Please note that it is necessary for children to remove their helmets before entering playgrounds. This helmet should not be used by children while climbing or doing other activities when there is a risk of strangulation/hanging if the child gets trapped with the helmet.

2. Optimum fit

• The helmet should not be pulled too far down the forehead so that visibility is not impaired.

- The forehead must be protected. The helmet should therefore not be pushed too far over the back of the head.

• The helmet is correctly fitted when it sits horizontally on the head.

The prerequisite for your helmet to fulfil a protective function is that it fits correctly. You should therefore try out different sizes and choose the one that sits firmly and comfortably on your head (fig. C).

3. Adjustment of the head ring

Almost all ABUS helmets are available in three sizes. Adjusting the helmet to the individual head size can be achieved, depending on the type, with the following easy to use fitting systems.

4. Adjustment of the straps (fig. Info 1)

When wearing the helmet for the first time, please adjust the straps so that they meet tautyly and comfortably beneath the ears. The easily adjustable triangular locks on both sides, with their optional fastener help you in doing so. The child proof lock must be engaged properly, before first use, with an audible "click" to prevent accidental displacement. Make sure the chin-guard, which must be locked before every ride, doesn't lie on the jaw-bone. After adjustment, the overlapping straps can be secured with the strap clip. Should the straps be too long, please cut them down to the required length and seal the ends with a match flame to prevent fraying.

5. Switching the helmet light on and off (fig. Info 2)

To switch on, briefly press the On/Off button on the back of the helmet once. To switch off, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds until the switch-off animation initiates switching off the helmet. The Remote Control Brake Light and Remote Control Indicator Light are automatically operational as soon as the helmet is switched on. This means that no separate switching on/off is necessary.

Please clean the lenses with mild soapy water. Drying should be done with a soft cloth. Note: Scratched lenses cannot provide adequate protection from the sun! Not suitable for direct observation of the sun. Not suitable for protection against radiation from artificial light sources, such as those used in solaria. The filter has a luminous transmittance lower than 75% and higher than 8%. Not suitable for driving in twilight or at night.

7. Charging

Open the charging port cover on the back of the helmet and plug the USB-C cable into the charging port. During charging, the charging status is indicated by the centre area of the rear light. As soon as the battery is fully charged, the light goes out. A full charge of the helmet takes a maximum of 4 hours. Please do not use the helmet while charging.

1. Modes incl. running times

No.	Mode Running time	Lumen at front Lumen at rear

Note: When the brake is used, the running time is reduced by approx. 20% with average use.

9. Remote controls

a) Remote Control Indicator Light, fig. Info 4.

• Pairing: It is not necessary to pair the remote control with the helmet after purchase as they are already paired. To pair additional remote controls, switch on the helmet, press and hold the On/Off button and press and hold the L and R buttons on the remote control. The helmet and remote control flash and are paired. Up to four remote controls can be paired with one HYP-E helmet. Any number of HYP-E helmets can be paired with one remote control.
• Mounting on the handlebar: Elastic rubber rings are supplied for attaching the remote control to the handlebar. Select the rubber rings with the most suitable length so that the remote control is firmly and securely attached to the handlebar.
• Charging: The remote control is powered by an integrated rechargeable battery. If the battery is empty (LED continuously lit up red), it must be charged using the USB-C cable. The charging socket is located on the underside of the remote control. Depending on use, the remote control must be charged approximately every 2-4 months.
• Activating: Press the buttons (L: left, R: right) on the remote control to activate the indicator light. It is therefore important to ensure correct left-right assignment during installation. As long as the indicator light is switched on, a light flashes on the remote control and an acoustic signal sounds as a reminder.
• Switching the acoustic signal on/off: The acoustic signal of the indicator light can be switched off by holding the On/Off button for 5 seconds when the system is switched off until an acoustic signal sounds. Repeat the procedure to switch the acoustic signal back on.
• Unpairing: Press and hold the L and R buttons on the remote control until the LEDs light up orange, then press the left button twice and the right button twice. The LED lights up red to confirm that the remote control and helmet are unpaired.

ATTENTION: The direction indicator function of the helmet is a supplementary feature and does not replace legally required hand signals when turning. Make sure that you use the correct side when activating the indicator light. Be sure to switch off the indicator light after turning by pressing the button again. If the indicator light is not switched off, it will switch itself off automatically after 40 seconds. The use of direction indicator lights may be regulated by law in different countries.

Observe the laws of the respective country!

b) Remote Control Brake Light (OxiBrake), fig. Info 9.

• Pairing: Before using for the first time, the brake sensor must be paired with the helmet (HYP-E and HYP-E ACE variants). Switch on the helmet lighting. Press the On/Off button for at least 6 seconds until the rear light flashes orange. Then press the button on the brake sensor for at least 6 seconds until the status LED flashes red and green. The rear light of the helmet lights up orange for a few seconds and then switches off. The status LED of the brake sensor lights up red and green for a few seconds and then switches off. The helmet and brake sensor are now paired.
• Mounting: Slide the silicone sleeve of the Remote Control Brake Light (OxiBrake) over the brake lever on the handlebar. Adjust the Remote Control Brake Light (OxiBrake) to the shape of the brake lever by bending it between 0^ and 45^ . ATTENTION! Do not bend the Remote Control Brake Light (OxiBrake) multiple times. Bending too often can damage the material.
• Charging: Fully charge the battery before starting up the brake sensor. The status LED flashes red during charging. When the status LED goes out, the battery is fully charged. To check the battery level during use, press the button on the Remote Control Brake Light (OxiBrake). The light lights up green when the battery is sufficiently charged – and red when the charge level is low. When the battery charge is low, the light also flashes red three times when the Remote Control Brake Light (OxiBrake) is no longer being used. Depending on use, the remote control must be charged approximately every 2-4 weeks.
• Activating: The brake sensor switches on automatically when you touch the sensor surface when operating the brake lever.
• Unpairing: Press the On/Off button on the Remote Control Brake Light (OxiBrake) for at least 6 seconds until it flashes red and green. Then press the button three times in quick succession within 4 seconds.

ATTENTION: Before the start of every ride, make sure that the brake function of the brake lever works without faults as it did in the original delivery state. Check the correct position of the Remote Control Brake Light (OxiBrake) before the start of every ride.

10. Proper maintenance and care

• Check the helmet at regular intervals for visible defects.
• Never modify, alter or misuse the helmet or remove original parts, as this reduces the protective effect of the helmet.
• Do not paint or stick anything on the helmet, as harmful substances can reduce its stability and protective effect.
• The helmet must never be exposed to temperatures above 60^ (147°F), otherwise it may lose its protective properties. Do not store behind glass, e.g. in a car (burning glass effect), near heaters etc.
• If you suspect that the helmet has received a large impact, even if there is no visible damage, please purchase a new helmet.
• Depending on the frequency of use and the specific operational conditions, a bicycle helmet must be replaced 4 - 5 years after the first time it is used. In view of the unavoidable material fatigue, the helmet must, however, be replaced at most 8 years after its production date even if it displays no clear visible or technical defects
• The helmet shell, adjustment wheel and removable inner pads can be cleaned by hand (lukewarm water, soft cloths, solvent-free cleaner). This also applies to sun visors.

Do not immerse the helmet and accessory components in water.

- The helmet lights are a supplementary feature and do not replace the legally required lighting equipment on bikes.

- Only use spare parts from ABUS.
