FOR SAFE OPERATION
HOW TO USE
• 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.
How to Adjust Beam Angle
Switching on/off
To switch the light on/off, press the button on the switch
unit.
Adjust the beam angle downward so as not to blind oncoming traffic.
It can also be adjusted 10 degrees to the left and right.
• 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.
Run time Approx. 3.3 hours
Beam Adjustment
• 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.

• Be sure to use only the supplied battery charger. This charger
can accept 100-240 volts.
• Do not completely remove the battery unit from 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.)
• After charging, return the battery to its original storage state. Do not allow water to enter the battery bag.
• 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.
