* Princeton Tec calculates total burn time as the time it takes for the light source to produce a
minimum of 0.25 lux at 2 meters. 0.25 lux is about the equivalent of a full moon on a clear night.
* Princeton Tec berechnet die Gesamtbrenndauer bezogen auf eine von der Stirnlampe erzeugte
minimale Beleuchtungsstärke von 0,25 Lux in 2 Meter Abstand. 0,25 Lux entsprechen in etwa
der Beleuchtungsstärke des Vollmonds in einer klaren Nacht.
* Princeton Tec définit la durée totale d’éclairage comme le temps nécessaire à la source
lumineuse pour produire un minimum de 0,25 lux à 2 mètres. 0,25 lux équivaut à peu près à la
luminosité d’une pleine lune dans un ciel nocturne dégagé.

Battery Installation – See Battery Installation Diagram
• 3 AAA
• Alkaline (LR03)
• Rechargeable NiCad or NiMH
Princeton Tec cares about the environment and
recommends recycling batteries. For more information
about battery recycling, please go to:
www.batteryrecycling.com
To install the batteries, use the tool on the headband to
unlatch the door. Open the Fuel case by popping the
door latch over the catch and rotate the door open.
Install three AAA batteries according to the polarity
markings on the inside of the cabinet. Observe proper
battery polarity when installing the batteries. Improper
installation of the batteries will damage the light and
void the warranty.
Rotate the door to the closed position, squeeze the
body between your forefingers and thumb to snap the
door latch over the catch.
WARNING
• Never mix fresh and used batteries.
• Never mix different battery brands or chemistry
types.
• Always remove drained batteries immediately.
• Remove batteries during long periods of storage.
NOTE: Rechargeable NiCad or NiMH batteries may
result in reduced brightness due to lower nominal
voltage.
Switch Operation – See Switch Operation diagram
Modes (High, medium, low and flash) are selected by
pressing and releasing the button within 1.5 seconds of
the previous button press.
There are two ways to turn the Fuel off. You can cycle
through the modes until you reach off, or if more than
two seconds has passed since the previous button
press the next press of the button will turn the light off.
Power Consumption
Refer to the burn time chart for performance data for
different battery types and mode settings.
**Princeton Tec calculates total burn time as the time it
takes for the light source to produce a minimum of 0.25
lux at 2 meters. 0.25 lux is about the equivalent of a full

fresh batteries and use only one mode.
Troubleshooting
If the Fuel fails to light:
• Check the batteries for proper installation.
• Replace batteries if proper installation is confirmed.
• Check the light for water contamination on the
circuit board. The light will resume normal
operation once the water is shaken or blown out
and the light is left open until completely dry. If the
light has been contaminated with salt water, flush
the unit with fresh water and dry as described
above.
