Connecting and Securing Cables

1.Align the male and female cable ends and connect them. Turn the plugs so that they are securely locked. Fix the cables to your frame and/or stem to keep them secured.

CAUTION!: Pay attention to the arrangement of the cable so that it does not interfere with the handling of the bicycle. Do not secure the cable at an acute angle because the wire inside the cable may break.

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.

Securely connect the plug so that the cable will not come unplugged or hinder your riding.

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

The light unit may become extremely hot when on or immediately after it is turned off. Please use with caution.

Do not place it within children’s reach.

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

Charge the battery unit before using because the unit self-discharges over time, decreasing its voltage.

Do not leave the battery overly discharged because it shortens the operating life of the battery. Try to charge the battery unit after each use. (“Overly discharged” refers to the state the battery is in when used over a period of time while below the specified cutoff voltage.)

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.

Place the battery unit at least 10 cm away from any wireless meter, as transmitting and receiving perfor- mance may be adversely affected.

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

This product is water-resistant under normal weather conditions of rain, etc. However, do not intentionally submerge it in water or allow rainwater to enter the battery bag.

Before Initial Use

The battery is shipped with a small charge, that is used to test the unit at the factory. As such, it is necessary to charge the battery before initial use. (Refer to the “How to Charge” section in this manual.)

1.Wrap the fixing strap around the top tube to secure the unit.

CAUTION!: Wrap the strap over the top tube but under the gear and brake cables. Wrapping the strap over the cables is dangerous as it may inter- fere with braking and gear shifting.

2.Use the support strap to secure the battery unit to the down tube to prevent it from rolling.

NOTE: The battery can also be mounted on alternate positions on the bicycle. However, please make sure that the seam of the battery bag is facing down, and the fold line is in front. This will help prevent any water from entering the bag.
