How to Adjust Beam Angle

Adjust the beam angle to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic by slightly loosening the dial of the bracket.

NOTE: • Do not loosen the dial too much, or the bracket strap may come off. Loosen the dial just enough to allow the bracket to move slightly. Securely tighten the dial after adjusting the strap.

• It can also be adjusted 10 degrees to the left and right.

The color of the battery indicator built into the switch shows how much battery is left.

NOTE: When the battery indication becomes red, charge the batteries as soon as possible.

Guigeline for the battery indicator

Green : More than 50% left

Yellow : 50 to 20% left

Red : Less than 20%. Charge the battery unit.

How to Charge Battery unit

Important!

• If the battery unit is wet, wipe dry with a dry cloth before charging the batteries.

• Be sure to use only the supplied battery charger. This charger can accept 100-240 volts.

• If the charging indicator flashes green, there is a short somewhere in the circuit.

Unplug the charger and remove the cause.

• If the charging indicator turns green a few minutes after charging begins or if the indicator continues a fast green flashing, stop charging, unplug the charger from the outlet, and do steps 1 and 2.

If the same result occurs repeatedly, the batteries may be deteriorated.

• The standard charging time and run time are guideline values and depend on the operating environment.

• If the battery unit repeatedly does not meet the proper run time even though it is fully charged, it might be at the end of its operating life. Replace the old battery unit with a new one. The used battery unit should be disposed of properly according to local regulations.

1. Plug the battery charger to an AC outlet.

NOTE: Check that the charging indicator flashes red three times as the power lamp turns red.

2. Connect the plug of the battery charger to the plug of the battery unit.

NOTE: • Charge the batteries with the plug locked.

• When charging is complete, the indicator light changes from flashing red to green.

3. After charging is complete, make sure to unplug the charger from the AC outlet.

FOR SAFE OPERATION

• Never short-circuit the terminals of the battery unit or the battery charger. It may cause the unit to overheat, resulting in fire or damage to the component.

• The battery unit uses lithium batteries. If liquid leaks from the batteries, do not touch them with bare hands and do not bring them close to fire.

• Securely connect the plug and fasten the strap. Otherwise, they may come off while riding, causing the light to turn off, or you could topple over if the cord gets caught in the wheel.

• Never use damaged components (e.g., cables, etc.). Send any damaged components to our customer service department for repair.

• Do not stare at the light when it is on. Doing so may damage your eyesight.

• The light unit, including the switch, becomes very hot when on or immediately after being turned off. Please use with caution to avoid burns.

• Do not place it within children’s reach.

• Never disassemble the light unit, battery unit, or battery charger.

• If the lamp body or parts become dirty with mud, etc., clean with a soft cloth which is moistened with mild soap. Never apply paint thinner, benzine or alcohol; damage will result.

• IIf the connecting plug is dirty, clean it with the plug locked.

• This product is water-resistant under normal daily use and can be used in the rain. However, do not intentionally submerge it in water.

• We recommend carrying a flashlight or spare battery unit with you in case the main battery dies.

• Place the swich at least 20 cm away from any wireless meter, as transmitting and receiving performance may be adversely affected.

Before Initial Use

The battery is shipped with a small charge, that is used to test the unit at the factory. It is necessary to charge the battery before initial use. (Refer to the

“How to Charge” section in this manual.)
