The Akari
®
AX12-ARAI insert changes instantly between two levels of tint (on or off)
by either a quick touch of the button, or automatically via the built-in light sensor.
These tint levels are fixed and cannot be adjusted by the user. The insert comes pro-
grammed with a standard light threshold setting for use in automatic mode. You have
the option to reprogram the light threshold if you determine that it does not automati-
cally activate or deactivate to your liking.
TO OPERATE IN MANUAL MODE:
Simply press and release the button to activate or
deactivate the tint of the insert.
TO OPERATE IN AUTOMATIC MODE:
Press and hold the button for approximately
three (3) seconds. The insert will flash to indicate it has now switched to automatic
mode. Release the button. The insert is now set for automatic use.
TO EXIT AUTOMATIC MODE (AND ENTER MANUAL MODE):
Click the button once to
go back to manual mode. The lens will go clear upon exiting automatic mode.
TO ADJUST THE LIGHT THRESHOLD:
First, set the insert to automatic mode. Choose
an ambient area of light that would be similar to what you would be riding in and where
you would prefer the insert to activate. Hold the faceshield (with the insert installed)
in your desired lighting condition and press & hold the button for approximately six (6)
seconds. After six seconds, the insert will flash to indicate the system has re-calibrated
its sensor to your desired light threshold. Light that is as bright as, or brighter than, the
selected ambient lighting will now trigger the sensor. The electronics will store this cus-
tom threshold until it is either re-programmed or reset to its factory setting.
NOTE: Be
sure to keep the area around the photo sensor (on top of the button) clear and open
to the light source. If your finger is covering the light sensor while setting the light
threshold, it will result in an insert that is activated most of the time and only switch-
ing when it is very dark. Do NOT attempt to change the light threshold when moving.
FOR A FACTORY RESET:
Press and hold the button for approximately twelve (12)
seconds. The insert will cycle through two (2) sets of flashing to indicate the factory
reset is complete.
TO CHARGE:
Connect the micro-USB cable into the AX12-ARAI button and charge
from either a computer or wall adapter. The insert will activate as it is being charged
and the button will be inoperable. When the AX12-ARAI is fully charged it will deacti-
vate. A fully depleted battery will take at least two (2) hours to completely charge. A
fully charged AX12-ARAI may have up to forty (40) hours of tinted use. When fully
charged, deactivated, and not used, the AX12-ARAI may stay charged for up to three
(3) weeks. NOTE: Do NOT store the AX12-ARAI connected to a charging source.
Batteries may be damaged if stored for prolonged periods without charging. E-Tint
recommends fully recharging the battery every two months if stored for a prolonged
period of time. The environmental temperature also affects the storage life of any bat-
tery. Cool environments are best.
