Troubleshooting

Helmet does not auto-darken

Ensure the batteries are properly installed and charged. Check that the external protective lens is clean and not obstructing the sensors. Verify the helmet is in 'Weld' mode and not 'Grind' mode. Increase sensitivity if set too low for the arc.

Flickering or inconsistent darkening

Adjust the sensitivity setting. Ensure the welding arc is directly in front of the helmet's sensors. Check for any obstructions or damage to the auto-darkening filter.

Helmet feels loose or uncomfortable

Readjust the headband for a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the helmet is positioned correctly on the head.

Poor visibility in grinding mode

Ensure the 'Grind' mode is activated and the shade is set to the light state (DIN 4). Clean the protective lenses for maximum clarity.
