Charging
Use the included standard Micro USB charging cable and an adaptor above 5V/1.5A, or the charging time will be prolonged.
While charging, the OLED screen will display a charging icon, and current battery level will be displayed. The battery full icon will be displayed and the three switches will remain green when the battery is fully charged. The normal charging time of the built-in battery is 3 hours from fully depleted to fully charged with the light off.
Once charging is completed, be sure to remove the charging cable and replace the dust cover.
Note:
Recharge the light timely when the battery level is critical, for future use.
Recharge a stored light every three months to maintain optimal battery performance.
Only Low output can be used while the light is being charged, and charging time will be prolonged.
Anti-theft Protection
On/Off
With the light screen is on, simultaneously press and hold the “+” and “-“ switches for 1s to turn on the anti-theft alarm. A distinct “DI” means the function is activated successfully.
Note:
When turning on/off the anti-theft alarm, make sure the security key is inserted in the remote pressure switch and the remote pressure switch is connected with the bicycle light, otherwise the alarm will not be activated/deactivated.
Turn off the anti-theft alarm before unplugging the remote pressure switch to avoid accidental activation of the alarm. If the alarm is accidentally activated, plug in the remote pressure switch to turn off the alarm.
Enter/Exit
With the anti-theft alarm turned on, 3s after the security key is removed the bicycle light will enter anti-theft status, and any movement of the bicycle light will activate the alarm (100-110db). Plug in the security key to deactivate the alarm; the bicycle light will exit the anti-theft protection automatically.
Note: If the security key is lost, turn on the bicycle light and simultaneously press and hold the “+” and “-“ switches over 15s. In case of loss of the security key, contact the manufacturer to obtain a new key.
Intelligent Memory Circuit
The light memorizes the last selected brightness level on General mode. When turned on again the previously used brightness level will be recalled.
Low-voltage Warning
When the voltage level drops below a preset level, the bicycle light is programmed to step down to a lower brightness level until Low output is reached. The functional switch will flash red when the runtime of Low output level is less than 10 minutes.
Overheat Protection
The light will accumulate a lot of heat when working on Turbo mode. The light will automatically step down to a lower brightness level to reduce the temperature, but turbo mode can be re-selected.
