Monitor the built-in LED indicator to ensure you have sufficient charge for your activity. The headband can be detached for hand-washing to maintain hygiene. Keep the lens clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth to prevent light diffusion. While the unit is IPX4 water-resistant, avoid submerging it in water.
