The flash mode can be triggered even with the light turned off. *
Switching operation Lighting mode Brightness Mode indicator Operating time
Press
Dynamic Green Approx. 1 hours
Normal Orange Approx. 2.5 hours
All night Red Approx. 10 hours
Quick double press Flash None Approx. 35 hours
Mode indicator : * Immediately after switching the lighting mode, the switch
flashes for 5 seconds and indicates the current lighting mode.
Mode memory function ( * *2)
: The light unit turns on at the previous mode.
Temperature control
When the light unit becomes hot while it is turned on in the dynamic mode, the
protection function switches automatically to the normal mode. In such a case,
it returns to the previous dynamic mode when the light unit becomes cooler by
air-cooling effects, etc.
When the light unit increases in temperature abnormally, its safety function *
becomes active and turns off the light. When it decreases in temperature, it can
be turned on again by switch operation. It is recommended to use in the All night
mode when there is no wind, e.g., when you are not riding.
Remaining battery level
When the light unit is on, the color of the switch shows how much battery
power remains.
Guideline for the battery indicator
Green light : The remaining battery level is sufficient.
Orange light : The remaining battery level is low. Charge the battery unit.
Red light : Stop using the light unit, and charge the battery unit.
The indicator is only an estimation of the remaining battery run-time, and *
varies with the environment or conditions of use.
Make it a habit to charge the battery unit when the indicator changes to orange. *
Low battery charge warning function
To prevent the light unit from being turned off unexpectedly due to low battery
charge, this function turns on the indicator red, and switches the lighting mode
from normal lighting to intermittent flashing.
B How to Charge Battery unit
Important!
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 (applicable to 100 - 240 volts). •
The battery charger is indoor use only.
When the charging indicator of the battery charger flashes green, there •
may be a circuit failure. Unplug the charger and remove the cause.
When the charging indicator of the battery charger flashes green quickly •
within a few minutes after charging starts, unplug the charger from the
outlet, and charge the battery again according to the procedure.
Similar behavior may be seen when the battery is hot immediately after
use. Charge the battery unit after cooling it sufficiently.
When the same results occur repeatedly, the battery may be deteriorated.
When the battery unit repeatedly does not meet the proper operating 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.
Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are recyclable. Remove the used •
batteries from the battery unit, apply insulating tape on the plug, and take
them to stores supporting rechargeable battery recycling (refer to “How to
disassemble the battery unit (for disposal)”).
The battery charge can be checked with the charging indicator of the battery charger. *

When the charging indicator continues flashing red, disconnect the unit and *
then re-connect it according to the specified procedure.
When charging is complete, the indicator light changes from flashing red to green. *
3 After charging is complete, make sure to unplug the charger from the AC outlet.
