To unlock your Black Diamond Cosmo headlamp and disable its lock mode, press and hold the power button for approximately 3-4 seconds. The headlamp will typically flash briefly to indicate that it has exited lock mode and is ready for use.
Understanding Lock Mode on Your Cosmo Headlamp
The lock mode on your Black Diamond Cosmo headlamp is a crucial feature designed to prevent accidental power-on when the lamp is stored in a backpack, pocket, or during transport. This helps conserve battery life and ensures your headlamp is ready when you need it. When in lock mode, pressing the button will not turn the light on but might produce a brief flash to signal that it's locked.

Unlocking your Cosmo headlamp is a straightforward process:
- Locate the Power Button: Identify the main power button on the top or side of your Black Diamond Cosmo headlamp.
- Press and Hold: Press and hold down the power button continuously.
- Wait for Confirmation: Keep the button pressed for about 3 to 4 seconds. You should observe a quick flash from the main LED, which signifies that the headlamp has successfully exited lock mode.
