Important : Specific training is essential
before use
Read this notice carefully before use.
This technical notice illustrates ways of using
this product. Only the techniques shown are
advised, all other uses are excluded. In case
of doubt or any problem understanding the
use of this product, please contact Petzl.
Malfunction of this lamp may leave the user
in danger. Learning the techniques of use and
care (cleaning, bulb changing, scraping contacts
etc) are entirely the responsibility of the user.
You personally assume all the risks and
responsibilities for all damage, injury or death
which may occur during or following wrong use
of our products in any manner whatsoever. If you
are not able to, or not in a position to assume
this responsibility or to take this risk, do not use
this equipment.
Use
- The switch may be locked for transporting
or storage by pressing the red button (1 - A).
To unlock, press on the other end of the
red bar (1 - B).
- Switch in upper position : powerful halogen
light, but heavy energy demand (2).
- Switch in lower position : short distance
light using minimum energy (3).
- The zoom button allows focussing the halogen
light to suit the need. In the low position the
beam is narrow. In the high position it is
broad (4).

Changing the batteries

Open the rear box by releasing the 2 clips (5).
Fit 4 size AA alkaline batteries. Normal batteries
have a very short shelf life, and in some
cases insufficient power to run halogen bulbs.
Attention : ensure that batteries are inserted
with the correct polarity.
Use in the "wrong" direction could cause
shorting, resulting in gassing which could
cause an explosion.
Attention : never dismantle the gasket ring
inside the cover.
Take care to keep it in place (clean with water
and a cotton bud). Lubricate the ring with
a silicone based grease.
If changing batteries in a damp environment,
dry the inside of the box after use.
Lengthy storage : remove batteries and leave box
open.
Changing a bulb
Open the headpiece by twisting the bezel
counter-clockwise (6). Remove it completely.
Should it be jammed, try a penetrating fluid,
or warm the front cover with a hair drier.
Halogen bulb : unscrew, tighten the replacement
bulb well.
Mini-bulb : pull forwards, check that the
fixings are not twisted before inserting the
replacement bulb. Check that the new bulb
works before replacing the bezel. Replacement
bulbs : do not clip old bulbs into the
replacement bulb holder (risk of confusion later).
Darkening bulb = loss of brightness before
final failure of bulb.
To close the headpiece :
- position the reflector unit correctly over
the headpiece (7),
- screw the bezel of the reflector unit with
3

the right hand to the position where the mark
on the bezel is situated between the two
indicator marks on the headpiece (8 & 9).
If the bulb change must be done in bad
conditions (wet, mud, dust...) open up after
use, clean the gasket well, dry the headpiece and
lubricate the gasket with a silicone based grease.
Notes
If the lamp is accidentally left on in a
rucsac, the heat generated by the halogen bulb
may damage the reflector (take care to lock
the switch). Simultaneous use of both bulbs
is not possible :
this would only increase power drain
withoutgiving extra light.
Light duration with the halogen bulb is greater
if it is used repeatedly for shorter periods than
if left switched on.
For example one hour of continuous use =
15 to 20 times 5 minutes use, dependent
on the quality of the alkaline batteries used.
In very cold conditions, or if the batteries are
run down, the mini-bulb may give more light
than the halogen bulb.
Use in high mountains : moisture naturally
contained in the lamp may condense on
the glass in the cold : open and dry.
The DUO is ideal for wet caves, canyoning,
kayaking, and any wet weather sports or rescue
situation, but don't misunderstand this is not a
diving light. If either of the two compartments
takes in water (perished or dirty gasket, poor
fitting), open both boxes, take out batteries and
bulbs, rinse in clean water, then dry very slowly.
Should the lamp not work
- check the batteries,
- check that the bulb is not blown, or that
the connections are not oxidised. Move the
small bulb in and out of place several times,
with the switch in the "bulb on" position,
- check the absence of corrosion on the
battery contacts in the rear box (clean them
if necessary),
- work the switch several times,
- if your lamp still does not work, call your service
center.
Cleaning
- Wash the lamp, with the compartments
closed, in clean water.
Use soap for the elastics,
- Do not rub with an abrasive product
especially on the glass,
- Do not wash with a high pressure hose.
