E86P TIKKA XP réf. : E86500-B (250105)
(GB) ENGLISH
Headlamp with high-output LED
Optical system
Consists of a focused LED for long-range vision with a
fl ip-up diffuser lens for proximity lighting.
Switching on and off, selecting
lighting levels
The TIKKA XP offers a choice of 3 lighting levels:
- Level 1. Maximum: maximum power.
- Level 2. Optimum: best balance of 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. Press the switch:
- 1 click to turn the light on at the Maximum power
level.
- 2 rapid clicks for the Optimum level,
- 3 rapid clicks for the Economy level,
- 4 rapid clicks for the Flashing mode.
If the delay between clicks is too long, the lamp turns
off. To turn the lamp off, wait at least 3 seconds after
the last button was pressed, then press the on/off
switch.
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, fl ashing, or set to one of the 3 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.
Installing the batteries
Tilt the head all the way down until the ratchet teeth
are disengaged. Open the battery case cover. Install the
batteries according to the polarity indicators inside the
battery case.
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 battery case can cause a malfunction.
After use in a moist or wet environment, remove the
batteries and allow the lamp to dry completely.
Waterproofness
The waterproofness of the lamp depends on following
the instructions for use and maintenance.
Take care to avoid damaging the O-ring or its seating
(tools, sand, etc.).
Periodically clean the O-ring and lubricate it with a thin
coat of silicone grease only (PETZL maintenance kit).
WARNING, silicone grease can irritate the eyes. In case
of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water
for 15 minutes and consult a doctor. Keep silicone
grease out of reach of children.
In case of malfunction
If the lamp fl ickers, see the section entitled «Battery
charge indicator».
If the BOOST does not work or if the lamp dims
suddenly, see «Automatic power limitation».
Verify the batteries are charged and correctly installed
with respect to polarity. Follow the polarity indicators
on the battery case. Check the contacts for corrosion.
In case of corrosion, gently scrape the contacts
without deforming or damaging them. If your lamp still
does not work, contact PETZL.
Batteries
Use alkaline or rechargeable batteries. The life of
alkaline batteries is considerably reduced in low
temperatures.
WARNING do not mix new and used batteries, or
batteries of different types or brands. Do not throw
batteries into a fi re or attempt to dismantle them.
Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries (such
as alkaline batteries) as they may explode or release
toxic materials. Do not short-circuit batteries as burns
may result. Defective or fully discharged batteries or
water in the battery case can damage the headlamp
(oxidation of the contacts…).
Protecting the environment
Batteries should not be thrown in the regular trash.
Dispose of batteries by recycling them in accordance
with applicable local regulations.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Conforms to the requirements of the 89/336/CEE
directive on electromagnetic compatibility.
