cateye.com/doc
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry
Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Le présent appareil est conforme à la réglementation FCC, partie
15, et aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes:
1. l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage;
2. l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Modifications The FCC requires the user to be notified that any
changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly
approved by CatEye Co., Ltd. may void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme
NMB-003 du Canada.
Do not use this light on public roads. The VOLT 6000 is an extremely high power light with a very wide
beam angle.
As such, it may distract oncoming drivers, which is extremely dangerous. If you have no choice but to
use this light on public roads, be sure to use it in low mode / all night mode.
• 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.
• Cool and dry storage is recommended.
For long period storage, it is important to charge the
battery 30 minutes every 6 months.
• 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.
• If the lamp body or parts become dirty with mud, etc.,
clean with a soft cloth which is moistened with mild
detergent then wipe off moisture with a dry cloth. Never
apply paint thinner, benzine or alcohol; damage will
result.
• 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 cable gets
caught in the wheel.
• When the connecting plug is dirty with mud, etc., clean
it with the plug connected and locked.
• Never use this product with a damaged cord or fixing
strap. Instead, contact CATEYE customer service for
repairs.
• This product is water-resistant under normal daily use
and can be used in the rain. However, do not intentionally submerge it in water.
• Do not stare at the light when it is on. Doing so may
damage your eyesight.
• Do not place it within children’s reach.
• Risk of explosion if undesignated battery is used.
Dispose of used batteries according
to local regulations.
• Do not disassemble the light unit, control unit, battery
unit, or battery charger.
• Always attention to the remaining battery power by
checking the indicator periodically while using.
• Do not insert foreign substances into the light’s cooling
fan. If the fan stops, the temperature will increase. As
a result, the safety circuit will activate, and the lighting
mode will be decreased by a level.
• We recommend carrying a spare light or battery unit
with you in case the battery dies unexpectedly.
• Mounting the light unit too close to a wireless computer
may adversely affect the reading of the computer.
• Do not store the battery unit in a car or near a heater.
Charging, discharging and storing at high temperature
may accelerate battery deterioration.
• Charge the battery unit prior to use.

PRECAUTIONS ON USE
Handling the remote control switch
This ultra high intensity light can generate a significant amount of heat during operation and
there is a risk of fire or burns. Using the light under the following conditions is dangerous.
• The remote control switch and the light have ID-based pairing function in order to eliminate interference with other devices.
Although the IDs have been paired at the factory, check that the remote control switch
turns on/off the light before use.
When you replace the remote control switch due to damage or loss, follow the instructions in the operation manual to pair the switch with the light.
• Do not place hands or any other objects in front of the lens while the light is in use.
• Do not use the light with the lens facing downward on any table, wooden, or otherwise
potentially flammable surface.
Please follow these precautions when handling the light.
• While the light is in use, do not keep the remote control switch in a pocket, bag, or similar location while traveling.
It may cause the switch to be operated by mistake, causing the light to turn off.
• Pressing and holding the remote control switch will significantly reduce battery life.
Storing the light unit
• Remove the battery unit from the control unit to prevent unintentional illumination of the
light during storage.
Using the light
• In Dynamic mode, the headlight can be turned on continuously, but continuous illumination in high temperatures may cause the protection function to activate earlier, causing
the lighting mode to be decreased by a level.
• Make sure that the lens is clean before use. Using the light with foreign material such as
mud on the lens may cause the lens to melt.

charged.
Battery charger
• When the operating time decreases significantly, the battery life
is close to an end. Replace the battery unit with a new one.
• Dispose of used battery units appropriately according to local
regulations.
* The standard charging time and run time are guideline values and
may vary depending on the operating environment.
* With the included battery unit BA-608 (6800 mAh), the battery is
approximately 80% charged approximately 3 hours after the start of
charging.

the control unit in place. If the control unit is not securely fixed in place,
the battery unit may shift or come off due to impacts during riding.
•
When some cables are installed along the top tube, attach the cable cover in advance to protect the cable from any force applied. Otherwise, it may cause trouble
in braking or gear shifting.

PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
REPLACING THE REMOTE CONTROL
SWITCH BATTERY
Temperature control
If the temperature of the light unit increases abnormally while the light is on, the
protection circuit will activate, and the lighting mode will be decreased by a level.
In this situation, if the light unit temperature decreases, the lighting mode will be
returned to its previous level.
After you replace the battery, check that the light turns on when you press the
remote control switch near the control unit. If it does not turn on by pressing
the paired remote control switch, it may be at the end of battery life. Replace it
with a new battery.
CAUTION!: Do not look directly at the light when it is on.
Cooling fan stoppage
Battery life
If, for any reason, the cooling fan stops, the light unit’s switch will flash. If you
leave the light on in this state and the temperature of the light unit increases, the
lighting mode will be decreased by a level. In this situation, the lighting mode will
not return to its previous level until you turn the power off.
Approx
If the fan stops, follow the procedure in “Removing the protective cover” to
remove the protective cover, and then use a gas duster or similar tool to remove
the cause of the fan stoppage. Follow the procedure in reverse to attach the protective cover.
