2. Switching on and off
In the upper part of the headlamp housing of the SEO 5, between battery box and the part with the reflector lens, there is the switch button. This switch
button is used to turn the SEO 5 on. It is also used to activate the various Light Programs and Lighting Functions (see section 5) and to switch between
white light and red light (see Point 5). In addition, you can also activate the "Transport Lock" (see Point 6).
3. Focus
In the front, narrower region of the headlamp housing is the reflector lens through which the light of the white LED (see Point 5.1) is focused. The
reflector lens is held by a plastic ring. You can rotate that plastic ring using two fingers, and thus adjust the focus quickly and easily. This so-called
Speed Focus allows to adjust the angle of the white light beam continuously.
Depending on whether you want to illuminate an area in the distance or in front of you, you also can adjust the angle of light beam to the horizontal.
For this you can simply tilt the part of the head lamp, which contains the reflector lens and the white LED. The screening allows using also intermediate
positions.
4. Smart Light Technology (SLT)
The SEO 5 is equipped with our Smart Light Technology (SLT). Thanks to the use of a microcontroller, the light output of the LED can be controlled and
the user can use various Light Programs and Light Functions. By using a single switch it was possible to design the interface to be simple and user-
friendly. The SEO 5 can give the user light in different ways. There are thus two Light Programs and a number of Light Functions available. To switch
the pocket torch on and off and to select the various Light Functions etc., the switch (see Point 2) has to be used.
What basically applies is that the brightness of the SEO 5 is monitored by the in-built temperature control unit.
5. Light Programs and Light Functions
In the SEO 5 are two LEDs (LED = Light Emitting Diode) installed.
The white LED is very strong, ideal for normal use, for example if the Speed Focus or the adjustment of the angle of light beam to the horizontal should
be used. This very bright white light might be not good when your eyes have become accustomed through the so-called dark adaptation to low ambient
light. Otherwise than with the use of the white light, it remains the current adjustment of the eye to low brightness obtained when the red light of the
second LED is used. The focus and the angle of the light to the horizontal of the red LED, which is located laterally next to the reflector-lens, can not
be adjusted.
In order to switch between the white and the red LED, when the SEO 5 is off, press and hold the switch button for 2 seconds. The head lamp will
change from red to white or from white to red, and then release the switch button before the lights go out, because if you press too long the switch
button you activate the „Transport Lock" (see section 6)!
The points below deal with the Light Functions of the white LED (Light Program White / Point 5.1) and the red LED (Light Program „Red Night Vision" /
Point 5.2).
5.1 Light Program White
If the Light Program White is enabled (see Point 5), you can use the white, focusable light of the headlamp.
When the switch button is pushed, while the SEO 5 is off, the headlamp glows in the Light Function Power at full brightness. When you push a second
time within 2 seconds, the SEO5 glows with lower brightness (Light Function Dim). When you push the second time within 2 seconds but keep the
button pressed down, you can change the brightness infinitely. For the time that the switch button is pressed, the brightness varies between full and
reduced brightness. The SEO 5 extinguishes (blinks) for a short moment as soon as the highest or lowest brightness is reached. At both ends of the
SEO 5 goes off shortly, and then again to be lighter or darker(a blinking signal happened at both ends). When you release the switch button you lock
the current brightness. This brightness is retained for the Light Function Dim even if you turn the head lamp off.
After the Light Function Dim (altogether 3 times fast switching, i.e. you do not wait longer than 2 seconds between each switching) comes the Light
Function Signal (slow even flashing) in the Light Program White.
Additional switching turns SEO 5 off and the circle starts again with the Light Function Power when you press the switch button again.
So the Light Functions are in a loop. But please note that you turn off the head lamp by every switching if since the previous switching more than 2
seconds have elapsed. For example in case you let pass more than 2 seconds after you turned the Light Function Dim on the next switching will not
change to head lamp to Light Function Signal but will turn the SEO 5 off.
5.2 Light Program „Red Night Vision"
If the Lighting Program „Red Night Vision" is enabled (see Point 5), you can use the red light of the head lamp.
When the switch button is pressed, when the SEO 5 is off, the head lamp glows in the Light Function Power at full brightness in red. When you switch
a second time within 2 seconds, the SEO 5 blinks in the Light Function Signal (slow even flashing).
The Light Function Signal is the last Light Function that can be used in the Light Program "Red Night Vision" so additional switching turns SEO 5 off
and the circle starts again with the Light Function Power when you press the switch button again.
So the Light Functions are in a loop. But please note that you turn off the head lamp by every switching if since the previous switching more than 2
seconds have elapsed. For example in case you let pass more than 2 seconds after you turned the Light Function Power on the next switching will not
change to head lamp to Light Function Signal but will turn the SEO 5 off.
6 „Transport Lock"
Under Point 5 it has been described how to switch between the white and the red LED. This takes place when the SEO 5 is off and the switch button is
pressed only for approx. 2 seconds. The head lamp will change from red to white or from white to red. But when the switch is pressed longer (approx. 5
seconds) until the light turns off you have enabled the „Transport Lock". Then the SEO 5 can not be turned on again but the red LED flashes for a short
moment to indicate that this function is activated in case the switch button is pressed. The SEO 5 therefore cannot be switched on, either intentionally
or unintentionally and inadvertently consume energy.
Only when you hold the switch button pressed for 5 seconds again this function („Transport Lock") is deactivated again and the lamp is in the Light
Program White.

7. Reset function
If the used alkaline batteries, NiMH-Accumulators or an Accumulator-Pack of a SEO 7R are taken out the battery box you have "reset" the SEO 5.
You have thus reset a few functions:
- The „Transport Lock" (see Point 6) is deactivated
- The Light Function Dim (see Point 5.1) is set to low brightness
- The Light Program White (see Point 5) is activated
8. Use of rechargeable batteries
The SEO 5 indicates by the flashing of the red LED that it is running out of energy in near future. Please change the batteries respectively the
accumulators in time.
In the scope of delivery of the SEO 5 are alkaline batteries. These can not be charged!
The following information applies only in case you use in your SEO 5 NiMH-Accumulators respectively the Accumulator-pack of a SEO 7R. These are
not scope of delivery of SEO 5!
In case NiMH-Accumulators (see Point 1) are used, these must be charged in approved external chargers.
Always charge in a dry place!
Do you use the Accumulator-Pack of a SEO 7R please note that this can only be charged with the charger and the charger cable of the SEO
7R or by a USB port (see below)!
In case the plug and the charger are not connected already please connect them so that the connection clicks.
The charger of SEO 7R has a USB port, which must be connected with the corresponding port at the charging cable in order to charge the SEO 7R
Accumulator-pack. The other side of the charging cable (micro USB) must be connected to the Accumulator-pack. You will therefore have to open the
battery box possibly. The Accumulator-pack of SEO 7R has two charging ways, either it loaded in the battery box of SEO 5 or can be removed out of
the battery box for charging. The charger of the SEO 7R can only be used for charging of this Accumulator-pack.
The last step is to connect the plug into a socket (Input: 100 V to 240 V / 50 Hz to 60 Hz). When charging is completed (after maximum 2 to 3 hours),
unplug the charger from the socket again and the charging cable (micro-USB) of the Accumulator-pack. But it is no problem to go on loading the
Accumulator-pack although it is already full.
Instead of connecting the charging cable of the SEO 7R to the USB port of the charger, you can also connect it to a different USB port (5 V / 900 mA) e.g.
of a computer.
While using our optionally available car USB charger connection (Led Lenser Car Charger: Item no. 0380), the Accumulator-pack also can be charged
at the cigarette lighter and sockets in vehicles. These accessory units match themselves automatically to the respective input voltage (12 V / 24 V).
These alternatives are suitable to charge the Accumulator-pack in case a power outlet is not available.
Note – Please ensure that there is no short-circuit at the charging contacts. The charging contacts may not be touched with moist or metallic objects.
9. Charge indication
In case you are charging the Accumulator-Pack of the SEO 7R with the corresponding charger and charging cable respectively by a USB port (see
Point 8) the status LED at it glows while charging in red and the light changes to green when the charging is completed.
10. Changing of the Alkaline batteries / Accumulator-Pack / NiMH-Accumulators
Prior to the change, please turn off the SEO 5.
On the wide side of the head lamp housing there is the cover of the battery box. Nearby the switch button there is a plastic lip. If this lip is carefully
pressed with e.g. your thumb up a little, the battery box cover can be folded down by using the small notches that are left and right next to the switch
button.
You can now remove the Alkaline batteries (respectively NiMH-Accumulators or the Accumulator-Pack of a SEO 7R) and insert new ones.
During insertion, it is always necessary that this is in the correct direction. Therefore, pay attention to the polarities (+ and -). Both in the battery box
and also on the alkaline batteries. Otherwise, the hypothetical risk that Accumulators / batteries are damaged and may explode.
After replacing the cover of the battery box has to be closed again.
Also NiMH-Accumulators and the Accumulator-Pack of a SEO 7R can be inserted (see Point 8).
11. Headband
If the headband is not already connected to the lamp unit, proceed as follows.
Thread the end of headband with the narrow plastic part from the front through the eyelet on the left side of the head lamp housing. Note the
orientation of the lettering on the headband. Run the headband then over the cover of the battery box to the eyelet on the other side of the battery box
and run it through it to the front.
This end of the headband has got to be pulled through the hole beside the clipper at the plastic part on the other side of the headband. This elongate
hole has got 4 small bars through which the narrow plastic part has to be run from the side.
This allows that the complete end is pulled through this hole and both ends of the headband are connected to each other.
By using the eye of the clipper the SEO 5 can e.g. attached to an ear of a belt or a backpack for transportation.
The third plastic component at the headband can be used to adjust the length of the headband in order to fit different head circumferences.
12. Rechargeable batteries / Accumulators
Non rechargeable batteries (e.g. Alkaline batteries) are not allowed to be charged. Never use non rechargeable batteries and accumulators together.
Change always all non rechargeable batteries and accumulators at the same time. Use in the SEO 5 only Alkaline batteries AAA/LR03/Micro (1.5 V
DC), the Accumulator-Pack of the SEO 7R or NiMH-Accumulators AAA/LR03/Micro (1.2 V DC).
If you intend not to use the item for an extended period, please take out the alkaline batteries respectively Accumulator-Pack of a SEO 7R / NiMH-
Accumulators in order to avoid damage.
Used batteries and accumulators have to be taken out the item and disposed of in keeping with the national laws.
In general, for the disposal of batteries as well as particularly for Lithium batteries, accumulators and accumulator packs, the applicable rule is that
they may only be disposed of in discharged state and in a technically correct manner. Additionally before disposal it has to be ensured, by sticking non-
conducting adhesive tape over the contacts that short-circuits are not possible.
Basically, the possibility of short-circuits of accumulators and batteries must be eliminated and they may neither be opened, nor enter the human body
in any way, nor may they be thrown into a fire.
13. Cleaning
For cleaning, please use a dry, lint-free, clean cloth.
If salt water is spilled on the head lamp, it must be immediately entirely removed with such a cloth.
The headband can be washed in a washing machine at 30 °C.
14. Scope of delivery
