INTRODUCTION

Before using the light, please read this manual and the attached “NiMh Batteries” thoroughly, and keep them for future reference.

Thank you very much for purchasing the CATEYE "SINGLE SHOT PLUS HL-EL610RC." This product is a high power rechargeable light unit that integrates a high power LED and a nickel metal-hydride rechargeable battery into a compact body.

FOR SAFE OPERATION

Do not place it within children's reach.

In preparation for unexpected battery shutoff, we recommend you carry a dry-cell battery light unit with you.

If the light unit 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.

Mount the light unit more than 10 cm away from the wireless meter. When it is mounted too close, the transmission may be affected adversely.

This product has waterproof features that allow you to use it in rain. Do not use it soaked in water.
