Operation - Lupine PIKO TL Bedienungsanleitung

Charging
Switching on:
Pressing the button with a quick doubleclick will switch on the lamp at maximum power. The blue LED is on.
The doubleclick can be deactivated, to turn on the light by only pushing the button once.
Switching:
A quick push of the button switches between power settings.
Note: When operating the lamp at maximum power, the power may be reduced continuously depending on
the ambient temperature to avoid overheating of the LEDs and the electronics.
Switching off:
Hold the button down (for more than one second) to switch off the lamp.
Note: The Piko TL control electronics not only controls high and low beam; it also protects the rechargeable
battery against deep discharge and includes a low battery indicator.
Discharged battery capacity:
When you shut off the lamp, the discharged battery capacity is shown by flashing of the blue LED and then
the red LED. This information will only be set back once you give the light a full charge.
The  blue LED blinks once for each Ah (ampere hour); and then
the  red LED blinks once for each 1/10 of an Ah.
Example: The blue LED flashes once and then the red LED flashes
twice. This indicates that 1.2 Ah have been drawn from the battery.
Flashlight and charger are ready for use upon delivery, however, the battery is
merely partly charged. Before seriously using your flashlight for the first time,
the battery requires charging to ensure maximum capacity.
The charging socket can be found at the the backside of the flashlight.

Battery warning:
If the battery voltage decreases below a certain value, the red LED will turn on
(the lamp itself also flashes once) and then additionally, shortly before the capa-
city is entirely exhausted, it will start flashing.
Note: The battery life remaining after the red LED has come on, is dependent on
the overall capacity, the temperature and the battery's age. As a Li-Ion battery's
voltage curve is not proportional to the remaining capacity, you will have to
learn to interpret the indicators in relation to your battery.
Warning! When the battery is almost entirely discharged (the red LED
has been flashing for some minutes), the lamp will flash several times (the
red and the blue LED flash) and is then switched off. Caution!
Note: When permanently operating the lamp at maximum power, the
battery warnings may be issued in very quick sequence.
Reserve power:
When the battery is discharged (the red LED has been flashing for some minutes),
the red and the blue LED will flash alternately; the lamp itself also flashes. After
switching the light on again (double click!), reserve power will be available. De-
pending on the age of the battery, some more minutes of light will be provided.
To make reserve power last as long as possible, only light below 2 W will be provi-
ded. To indicate that reserve power has been activated, the red and the blue LED
will flash in turn. As soon as the battery is entirely discharged then, the lamp will be
switched off automatically. Therefore: Caution!
Note: When operating the lamp only with 2 W or less, no reserve power will be
available.
Warning: Do not switch on the light when the battery is discharged, as
this will invariably damage the battery. Recharge the battery as soon as
possible to avoid a deep discharged battery and do not attempt to store
your flashlight with no charge left.
