Section 6 - Replacing the Battery   

Section 7 - Installing Optional Magnifying Lens 

Section 8 - Maintenance   

1.   Battery Cover

Remove battery by turning  

battery cover counter clockwise.
Replace with CR2450 lithium battery. 

WIA recommend using the Panasonic    

battery, as the side edge and shoulder   

are straight and provide good connection  

to battery terminals. Battery is available  

as spare part number 217043

 >   Be sure positive (+) side of the battery 

 

faces up (toward inside of helmet).

1.   Optional Magnifying Lens

Release lower lens retainer clip. 

Starting at the bottom, slide magnifying  

lens into the helmet retaining brackets. 

Align the magnifying lens with the  

auto-darkening lens assembly.
Reverse procedure to remove  

magnifying lens.

 > 

 

To prevent lens fogging, install 

 

flat side of magnifying lens toward 

 

 

auto-darkening lens.

NOTICE: 

Never use solvents or abrasive cleaning detergents.  

NOTICE: 

Do not immerse the lens assembly in water.

The helmet requires little maintenance, however for best performance clean after each use. 

Using a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water solution, wipe the cover lenses 

clean. Allow to air dry. Occasionally, the filter lens and sensors should be cleaned by gently 

wiping with a soft, dry cloth.
