FOR SAFE OPERATION

In preparation for unexpected battery shutoff, we recommend you carry a spare

battery.

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 light rain (ANSI/

NEMA FL1). Do not use it in heavy rain.

HOW TO MOUNT

Wind the bracket strap around the handlebar, and put

the strap through the opening.

Screw the dial into the bracket to secure it temporarily.

Securely tighten the dial, and cut off any excess

bracket strap.

To remove the light unit, pull out it forward while pressing

the button.

To re-adjust the beam angle, loosen the dial enough

to move the bracket, and securely tighten it after

adjustment.

it too hard with a tool, the screw thread may be

stripped.

•

Check the dial and screw (*1) on the bracket periodi-

cally, and use them without any loosening.
