General Information - Petzl TIKKA 2 Manual Del Usuario

(EN) ENGLISH
Lamp with four LEDs (wide beam) and two brightness levels (Maximum,
Economy), plus a flashing mode.
Switching on & off, brightness selection
One click of the switch lights the lamp in the maximum brightness level.
Two rapid clicks light the lamp in the economy level.
Three rapid clicks light the lamp in the flashing mode.
One click turns the lamp off (after the lamp has been lit for at least
two seconds).
One click with the button held down keeps the lamp on; releasing the
button turns it off. For example, if the button is held down too long between
two clicks, the lamp turns off when the button is released.
Energy
Use alkaline batteries or NiMH rechargeable batteries. You can also use
lithium batteries for a longer battery life in cold temperatures.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Conforms to the requirements of the 89/336/CEE directive on electromagnetic
compatibility.
Warning, when your lamp is lit and in close proximity to an avalanche beacon
in receive (find) mode, it can interfere with the operation of the beacon. In
case of interference (indicated by static noise from the beacon), move the
beacon away from the lamp until the noise stops, or switch off the lamp.
Retractable reel version
The ZIPKA 2 is not designed for harsh environments (avoid sand and mud).
Do not release the reel suddenly. Do not dismantle it - the spring can cause
injury upon release.
Do not put this product around the neck due to risk of strangulation or cutting
(the cord breaks at 20 kg).
The lamp is not recommended for children.

General information

Do not attempt to dismantle the lamp. LEDs have a lifetime of many tens of
thousands of hours. Dismantling the lamp voids the guarantee.
In case of malfunction
Verify that the batteries are good, and that they are properly installed with
respect to their polarity. Follow the order indicated on the battery case. Inspect
the contacts for corrosion. If corroded, gently scrape the contacts clean
without deforming them. If your lamp still does not work, contact PETZL.
Maintenance
After use in a wet environment, remove the batteries and dry the lamp. If
sea-water gets inside, remove the batteries, rinse the lamp thoroughly in fresh
water and dry it.
Cleaning
Use optical wipes or hand-wash the lamp in lukewarm soapy water. Do not
wipe with an abrasive product. Take care to avoid scratching the lens. Do not
wash with a high pressure cleaner. Remove the elastics from the lamp before
washing them.
Storage, transport
Remove the batteries from the lamp for prolonged storage. During storage
and transport of your product, keep it away from exposure to UV, moisture,
chemical products, etc.
Modification, repair
Any modification, addition to, or repair of the equipment other than that
authorized by Petzl is prohibited due to the risk of reducing the effectiveness
of the equipment.
General information on batteries
WARNING DANGER, risk of explosion and burns.
- The batteries must be inserted correctly with respect to polarity by following
the diagram on the battery case.
If one battery is reversed (two + poles or two - poles in contact with each
other), a chemical reaction is produced in minutes that releases explosive
gasses and extremely corrosive liquid.
Indicator: a weak level of light with new batteries indicates that the polarity of
one or more batteries is reversed.
In case of doubt, turn off the lamp immediately and verify the polarity.
Protect your eyes in case leakage has already occurred. Cover the battery case
with a rag before opening it to avoid contact with any discharge.
In case of contact with liquid from the batteries, rinse affected area
immediately with clear water and get immediate medical attention.
- Do not mix brands of batteries.
- Do not mix new and used batteries.
- Remove the batteries from the lamp for prolonged storage.
- Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
- Do not short-circuit the batteries as this can cause burns.
- Do not attempt to open or dismantle batteries.
- Do not put used batteries in a fire.
- Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Protecting the environment
Lamps, bulbs, and batteries should be recycled. Do not throw them in the
regular trash. Dispose of these items by recycling them in accordance with
applicable local regulations. By doing so you play a part in protecting the
environment and public health.

E93P TIKKA2 / ZIPKA2 E935000B (121108)
Lighting distance
Petzl based all measurements around a value of 0.25 lux. This value is
comparable to the light of a full moon on a clear night.
Light duration
Petzl stops measuring the duration when the light output falls below 0.25 lux
at a distance of 2 m, because we consider the lamp to be unusable below
this level.
Light quantity: lumen (luminous flux)
The measure of luminous flux indicates the total quantity of light emitted in
all directions.
This measurement is complementary to the lighting distance. In effect,
different lighting sources can shine the same distance with different
intensities.
