Warning notes
  • BATTERY WARNING AND SAFETY Safe handling and use of batteries and accumulators Read and follow these instructions before using the battery or accumulator. To the extent permitted by law, failure to comply with these warnings and instructions may result in any damage caused to your product not being covered by the warranty. In this document, the term "batteries" also includes accumulators. Follow these instructions to ensure optimal safety and performance: DO NOT use counterfeit batteries in products. Only use supplied batteries. Use the battery SOLELY for its intended purpose. Keep batteries out of the reach of children and pets. DO NOT use batteries that appear to be damaged, swollen, or modified. Do not use batteries that are leaking, emitting a smell, swollen, melted, or showing dents, rust, cracks, or scratches. The battery should NOT be disassembled, crushed, punctured, shredded, or otherwise tampered with. The battery should NOT be exposed to liquids. Liquid may penetrate the battery's circuits, causing corrosion and compromising its safety. A wet or damp battery should NOT be dried with a device or heat source (e.g., hairdryer or microwave). The device or battery should NOT be placed near a heat source or direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the battery to swell, leak, or malfunction. Examples include placing the device near a radiator, stove, kitchen appliance, iron, fireplace, or inside a vehicle or next to a window in direct sunlight. The battery should NOT come into contact with metal objects. If metal objects such as jewelry come into prolonged contact with the battery terminals, the battery may become very hot or catch fire. The battery should NOT be stored together with hazardous or flammable materials. Store the battery in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. The battery should NOT be inserted incorrectly when charging. MAKE SURE the battery compartment is empty, dry, and free of dirt before inserting the battery. The battery should NOT be charged in direct sunlight or at extreme temperatures. The battery must be charged at room temperature, typically between 20 °C and 26 °C (68 °F–79 °F). Charging may be temporarily suspended if the battery temperature exceeds 60 °C (140 °F). If the battery is hot but the temperature is under 60 °C (140 °F), the battery will still charge, but more slowly than usual. Avoid dropping the battery or the product with the battery inside. If dropped onto a hard surface, the battery or product may be damaged. If you suspect the battery might be damaged, replace it. Never leave your mobile hotspot plugged into the power supply for more than 24 hours to charge. Let the battery drain and then recharge it. Keeping your mobile hotspot plugged into a charger without draining the battery can damage the battery/device or affect performance. If a battery shows a significantly shorter runtime than when purchased, it has reached the end of its reasonable lifespan. We recommend replacing it. For optimal results and performance, batteries should be replaced after 12 months or earlier depending on usage. Follow local regulations for the disposal of used batteries. Do not throw the battery into fire or water.

Vixen SG-L02 Headlamp red-light white-light
The perfect LED head torch for nighttime observations! Adjusting your eyes to the dark surroundings is very important when making astronomical observations. In dark areas, it is very difficult to use astronomical equipment without a suitable light. With normal lights, however, the light intensity is more important than protecting your eyes against bright light. Using these lights at night makes your pupils contract, which can make it difficult for your eyes to readjust to the darkness. The SG-L01, our first astronomy LED lamp, featured a built-in red LED that provided a solution to this problem. However, the red light did not offer optimal visibility. On our new astronomy LED light, the SG-L02, the LED lights produce warm light to improve visibility. They also ensure that your eyes stay adapted to the dark. The LEDs do not emit light in the sensitive range of 555 nm. The brightness of the white light can be adjusted between 3 and 42 lumen, while the red light can be adjusted between 0.28 and 7.62 lumen. FEATURES Dimmable red light ensures that your eyes stay adapted to the dark Built-in rechargeable battery, charges via USB Waterproof design LED colour can be switched from red to white 0.28 to 7.62 lumen for red light 3 to 42 lumen for white light Dimensions: 41 mm x 33 mm x 30 mm Weight: 29 g DELIVERY CONTENT SG-L02 head torch Strap (size S) Strap (size L) Pocket clip Cable for charging the battery (USB-A plug to USB Micro-B plug)

BRESSER PushTo AR-80/400 Smart Telescope with Tripod
With the new BRESSER PushTo AR-80/400 Smart Telescope, admiring the beauty of the night sky has never been easier. Thanks to the modern app, navigating the firmament becomes a breeze – the ideal start for anyone eager to dive into the exciting world of astronomy! Smart all-rounder for astronomy beginners Moon, planets, star clusters, and brighter nebulae – with the BRESSER PushTo Navigation Smart App, you can enjoy the view of fascinating celestial bodies through the telescope in just a few seconds. How about taking snapshots of the moon? It’s easy with the included smartphone adapter. The sun's breathtaking sights aren't to be missed either; observe and photograph it safely with the provided solar filter through the PushTo AR-80/400. A true all-round telescope for both day and night! Get started immediately with the smart telescope The telescope is very easy to operate and can be started without much effort. The first steps only involve downloading the BRESSER PushTo Navigation Smart App and a brief initialization of the telescope. Then you will immediately see the current viewing direction via crosshairs on the star map displayed on the connected mobile device. This is made possible by the sensors integrated in the telescope and the Bluetooth connection to your mobile device. And thanks to the slip clutches built into both axes, you can easily move and adjust the optical instrument by hand. Clever celestial navigation with the smart telescope Once set up, simply select any object on the PushTo Navigation star map via touch, and navigation begins. The displayed direction arrows, which change in length and colour as you approach the object, guide you reliably to your destination. Meanwhile your telescope’s movements are mirrored on the star map in real time. Once you reach the destination, you can immediately marvel at the desired celestial body. Alternatively, you can choose an object from the extensive database. Or make it even easier and opt for one of the preset sky tours for spring, summer, autumn, and winter. And you can quickly enjoy observing your favourite objects over and over again – just save them! Impressive optics for compact and extensive objects The powerful refracting telescope with an aperture of 80 mm shows you many of the most popular celestial bodies particularly bright and contrast-rich. The moderate focal length of 400 mm also allows for beautiful broad views of large objects such as open star clusters and bright nebulae. Additionally, you will definitely be amazed when the moon craters and the Jupiter moons suddenly become visible through the smart telescope, and you perceive the famous ring of Saturn. Versatile celestial observation – with tripod or as a table device The included field tripod can be quickly adjusted to the appropriate height for comfortable use of the optical device. But even without a tripod, the smart telescope reliably shows you the wonders of the starry sky. That’s because the BRESSER PushTo AR-80/400 can be used as a super compact tabletop device. Ideal for quick observations at home or for your next trip to dark locations.
