E84P MYOBELT XP E84500-D (300507)
(EN) ENGLISH
Optical system
Headlamp with powerful LED.
Consists of a focused LED for long-range vision and a
wide angle.
It has a sliding diffuser lens for proximity lighting.
Switching on & off, brightness selection
The MYOBELT XP provides 3 power levels:
Level 1. Maximum: maximum power.
Level 2. Optimum: ideal balance between power and
burn time.
Level 3. Economy: low power/maximum burn time.
There is also a Flashing mode.
Use the on/off switch to choose the right amount and
type of light for your needs.
- One click to turn the light on at the Maximum power
level.
- One click to turn it off.
- 2 rapid clicks to select the Optimum level,
- 3 rapid clicks for the Economy level,
- 4 rapid clicks for the Blinking mode.
If the button is not pushed quickly enough, the lamp
will switch off.
BOOST
The BOOST mode produces about 50 % more light
than the Maximum level.
Press and hold the BOOST button down to use the
BOOST mode.
BOOST may be activated anytime: whether the lamp is
off, flashing, or set to one of the three lighting levels.
If used too frequently, this mode can quickly drain the
batteries.
Automatic power limiter
To avoid overheating the LED, the BOOST lighting level
drops to Maximum after 20 seconds, even if the button
is held down.
If BOOST is used repeatedly, the electronic system will
prevent further use of the BOOST mode until the LED
cools down.
In high-temperature conditions, the electronics will
also limit the current in the LED if it gets too hot. When
this happens, the light will be noticeably dimmer,
whatever lighting level is on.
Battery charge indicator
The indicator starts working 5 seconds after the lamp
has been turned on.
It does not work in BOOST mode.
When the batteries are fresh, the indicator blinks
green. When they are used (about 70 % discharged),
it turns orange, and then red when they need to be
replaced (about 90 % discharged).
As an additional alert, the headlamp’s beam will blink
momentarily when the indicator changes color.
The indicator gives only a general idea of remaining
battery life. Its accuracy varies with the type of
batteries used and with the temperature.
Transport
Take care to tilt the headpiece back against its
mounting plate to cover the two switches.
Maintenance
Do not attempt to dismantle the lamp. LEDs have
a very long lifetime and do not require service.
Dismantling the lamp voids the guarantee.
Water in the lamp can cause a malfunction. After use
in a humid environment, remove the batteries and dry
out.
Cleaning
Do not wash your lamp under running water. Wipe off
dirt with a damp sponge. Take care to prevent water
from entering the lamp through the ventilation hole
under the headpiece.
To clean the elastics, remove them from the lamp and
wash in soapy water.
In case of malfunction
If the lamp flickers, see the section entitled «Battery
charge indicator».
If the BOOST does not work or if the lamp dims
suddenly, see «Automatic power limitation».
Make sure the batteries are good, and that they are
properly installed with respect to their polarity. Follow
the order and position as indicated on the battery case.
Check the contacts for corrosion. If corroded, gently
scrape the contacts clean without bending them. If
your lamp still does not work, contact PETZL.
Batteries
Use alkaline batteries or NiMH rechargeables.
Do not use the lamp with Lithium batteries; due to
recent advances in their performance characteristics
(especially their higher output during discharge), they
can cause the lamp to overheat and possibly damage
the LEDs.
ATTENTION DANGER, risk of explosion and burns.
- The batteries must be inserted correctly w/respect to
polarity by following the diagram on the battery case.
If one battery is reversed (two + poles or two - poles
in contact with each other), a chemical reaction is
produced in minutes that releases explosive gasses
and extremely corrosive liquid.
Indicator: a weak level of light with new batteries
indicates that the polarity of one or more batteries is
reversed.
In case of doubt, turn off the lamp immediately and
check the polarity.
Protect your eyes in case leakage has already occurred.
Cover the battery case with a rag before opening it to
avoid contact with any discharge.
In case of contact with liquid from the batteries, rinse
affected area immediately with clear water and get
immediate medical attention.
- Do not mix brands of batteries.
- Do not mix new and used batteries.
- Remove the batteries from the lamp for prolonged
storage.
- Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
- Do not short-circuit the batteries as this can cause
burns.
- Do not attempt to open or dismantle batteries.
- Do not put used batteries in a fire.
- Keep batteries out of reach of children.
PRECAUTIONS to avoid damaging your lamp
(oxydation of contacts...) and to limit the risk of leaky
batteries, do not allow the batteries to become heavily
discharged and keep water out of the battery case.
Protecting the environment
Lamps, bulbs, and batteries should be recycled. Do not
throw them in the regular trash. Dispose of these items
by recycling them in accordance with applicable local
regulations. By doing so you play a part in protecting
the environment and public health.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Conform to the requirements of the 89/336/CEE
directive on electromagnetic compatibility.
The PETZL guarantee

or alterations, incorrect storage, damage caused by
accidents, by negligence, by leaking batteries or by use
for which this product is not intended.
Responsibility
PETZL is not responsible for the consequences, direct,
indirect or accidental, or any other type of damage
befalling or resulting from the use of its products.
