How to use

Attach the UT800 to your handlebar using the out-front mount or secure it to your helmet with the helmet or friction mount. Charge and power the unit as described in the manufacturer's instructions. For automatic brightness control, pair the headlight with a compatible Garmin Edge cycling computer that has a light sensor; once paired, the headlight will vary beam intensity based on speed, ride profile, ambient light and battery level. Use your Edge device or a dedicated remote to turn the light on or off and to adjust modes.

Recommendations

The UT800 is intended for cycling and outdoor use; choose higher lumen modes for fast or poorly lit environments and lower modes to conserve battery during slower rides. Regularly check mounts for secure fit and keep firmware updated on connected Edge devices to ensure optimal automatic control.
