Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with the Flextail Helio is straightforward. Ensure the device is fully charged via the USB-C port before your first outing; the built-in battery indicator will provide visual feedback on the charge status. To adjust the fit, slide the buckle on the headband until it sits securely but comfortably on your forehead. If you prefer not to wear it on your head, the lightweight frame allows you to clip it onto a backpack strap or hang it from a tent loop using the versatile headband structure.
To prolong the life of the headtorch, store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. After exposure to saltwater or muddy conditions, wipe the housing down with a damp cloth and ensure the USB-C charging port is completely dry before attempting to charge the battery. Avoid keeping the unit in extreme heat for extended periods, as this can degrade the lithium-ion battery performance over time.
