Battery discharged signal
When turned on, the system signals when the battery is running down by switching to the
“Reserve” mode.
When the battery charging power falls below 1 hour of operation, the red LED begins to
flash (alternating with the blue LED) start to flash in order to indicate that the system is in
“Reserve” mode, also announced by a vocal message repeated every 10 minutes.
When the battery operates in “Reserve”, the system automatically turns itself off in case
no button is pressed for 30 minutes. The shutting off is signalled by a series of beeps in
the helmet. This function makes it possible to always have a small reserve of energy to use
it again in case you forget to turn off your helmet.
