B How to Adjust Beam Angle

 

 

 

 

 

Switch

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

dial after adjusting the strap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remaining Battery

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

Charging Indicator

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ring

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

LOCK

 

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
