Petzl NAO E36AHR Data Sheet
Product codes
E36AHR
- Can I use another type of
rechargeable battery other than the
Petzl battery?
No.
- What is my battery’s charging time?
The charging time is:
- About 3-4 hours on the Petzl USB wall
charger.
- About 5-6 hours on a computer,
but it can take longer if several USB
peripherals are connected at the same
time.
- About 3-4 hours on the Petzl car
charger.
- On other chargers (solar, non-Petzl
wall charger), the charge time depends
on the charger’s output current.
Example: 1 A charger: 3-4 hours,
500 mA charger: 5-6 hours, 200 mA
charger: 12-14 hours.
This Li-Ion battery is designed to
be charged at a minimum current of
500 mA. Try to charge with devices that
deliver at least 500 mA.
- I bought a second battery case. Can I
change the batteries (cells only)?
Yes, it is possible, but be sure to do
a complete charge to re-initialize the
energy meter, otherwise it may give false
readings.
- Can I recharge the battery case
directly on a USB port, without using
the USB cable?
Yes. However, it is a good idea to unplug
the the case from the lamp to avoid
overloading the USB connection.
This should only be done occasionally,
as the battery case is heavy and can
cause mechanical stress on the USB
ports of the product and the computer.
Questions -
generalities
- Why is this lamp not recommended
for children?
See question «Is my lamp dangerous for
the eyes?»
- How does the NAO behave with an
avalanche beacon?
The NAO headlamp meets the
requirements of the 2004/108/
CE directive on electromagnetic
compatibility.
Warning, an avalanche beacon in
receive (find) mode can experience
interference when in proximity to your
to help you out:
- If your lamp turns off unexpectedly, try
to warm it, then turn it on in Maximum
constant mode.
- If your lamp won’t turn off, unplug the
cable from the rechargeable battery.
If your lamp continues to malfunction,
the only recourse will be to update it as
described below or to contact post-sales
support for your country.
The cause of these malfunctions is
linked to the lamp’s firmware version in
certain production runs. To update your
lamp’s firmware, download and install
the latest version of the OS by Petzl
software on your computer, available
at www.petzl.com/os. Once the latest
version of OS by Petzl is installed,
open it and connect your NAO lamp to
the computer via a USB cable, then let
yourself be guided by the application.
Remember: rechargeable battery
performance (and thus your lamp’s) is
reduced in cold temperatures.
- Why is lamp performance different
with the KIT BELT?
With the KIT BELT, the cable between
the battery and the lamp is longer, which
results in a voltage drop to the lamp. The
lighting performance is thus slightly less
than with the battery on the head and a
very short cable. On the other hand, the
battery life increases slightly.
Only one LED is working - why?
The lamp is in REACTIVE LIGHTING
mode. In this mode, the lamp adapts to
ambient lighting. If you are in a well-lit
environment, the lamp will not burn at
maximum power. Switch to constant
mode; if the second LED doesn’t light,
contact Petzl after-sales service.
Questions -
rechargeable battery
- Can I change the battery without its
battery case?
No, you can buy the NAO E35A10 battery
case as an accessory. Use only a Petzl
ACCU NAO rechargeable battery.
Using another type of rechargeable
battery can damage your lamp.
Do not use another type of rechargeable
battery.
