All Hope Technology lighting systems are covered for one year from
original date of purchase against manufacturer defects in material and
workmanship. Proof of purchase is required. Product must be returned
to Hope Technology to process any warranty claim. This warranty does
not cover any damage caused through mis-use or failing to comply by
the recommendations given in this manual. This warranty does not
affect your statutory rights.

The new VISION 1 LED uses a single Cree high power LED providing up to
215 (measured) lumens of light output on max power. The versatility of
being able to accept any AA (LR6) size battery cell gives you the option of
achieving extended burn times in an extremely small package. With a
regulated drive circuit you will always get the same level of light output
regardless of what battery cell you use.
The multiple mounting options allow you to mount the light wherever
you choose to use it, whether it be as a main bar mounted light, a helmet
light or simply as a hand held flashlight.

We strongly advise you read the following recommendations in order to
prevent injury or damage to the lighting system.

WARNING

· This lighting system will withstand harsh wet weather conditions.
However, it is not designed to be submersed in water. Please ensure
that the light unit and battery pack are removed from the bike
before washing - particularly if using a high pressure jet wash.

· Do not look directly at the beam, permanent eye damage could
result. Consider other people when mounting the light on the head
to avoid dazzling them.

· Keep this light away from children.

· This light unit can get hot when in use in maximum power mode.
This is normal and should not be mistaken as a malfunction. Please
use with caution.

· Unlike unregulated LED lighting systems, this light unit will shut
down suddenly after a period of time in low battery mode without
any dimming of the light. Please bear this in mind when using at
night.

· Only use high quality disposable or rechargeable battery cells.
When replacing discharged cells it is important to replace all four
cells together. Do not mix old and new batteries or different battery
types.

· Do not short-circuit the battery terminals. This causes the
battery cells to overheat and could result in fire or explosion.

· The battery charger (where applicable) is designed for indoor use
only and should not come into contact with water.

· The battery charger (where applicable) contains dangerous
voltages and the cover should not be removed. Any attempt to
open the charger will invalidate the warranty.

· This light unit conforms to the requirements of EC directive
2004/108/EC for electromagnetic compatibility.

We only recommend using good quality high capacity rechargeable or
disposable battery cells since this light unit is a high drain device. Using
poor quality low capacity standard alkaline cells will dramatically reduce
the burn time of the light unit. The chart below shows the burn time using
the optional (recommended) Hope Ansmann 2500mAh Ni-MH cells and
are given as a guide only. Always replace all four battery cells at the same
time and do not mix battery types.

New for 2012-13: The 1 LED Adventure lamp now features a low battery
mode which controls the lamp to drop into mode 4 (flash mode) when a low
battery voltage is detected. At this point we recommend that you either
replace the batteries or make plans to finish your ride.
CAUTION: Unlike many other LED lighting systems available, this light will
shut down when the batteries are exhausted without any dimming of the
LED. Please bear this in mind when riding at night.

With the light off:

· Press 1 – Turn light on in low power mode

· Press 2 – Switch light into medium power mode

· Press 3 – Switch light into high power mode

· Press 4 – Switch light into flash mode
Continue to cycle through power modes
upon each press of the switch.

· Press and hold for 2 seconds to turn light off.

NOTE: We recommend that you utilise the full range of power modes during use
in order to get the maximum burn time out of the battery, ie. Restrict your use of
the maximum power level to a minimum and switch back down to a lower power
level when you can.

There are no serviceable parts inside the light unit. Please do not attempt to
disassemble the unit other than removing the battery holder, as this will invalidate
the warranty. If you find that there is a problem with the functioning of the light
unit please first check that the batteries are fully charged and in good condition. If
the light still fails to function please contact Hope Technology.

*Burn times stated are using the optional (recommended) Hope Ansmann

2500mAh NiMH cells and have been tested in optimum conditions and may

therefore vary from those times shown
