Designed for high performance night cycling, this rechargeable lighting system adopts powerful halogen bulb technology. [. . . ] · Never touch the halogen bulb with bare-fingers; natural skin oils can cause the bulb to over heat and break. The light output will remain high until just the batteries run out, and then drop suddenly. Take precautions against such a situation by preparing a spare light or spare bottle battery. · A long period of non-use will lower the voltage of the battery due to natural self discharge. · The operation time and charging time may vary with the environment. · Overdischarge (leaving the light on after the power is completely gone) shortens the performance life of the battery. · If the lamp body or parts become dirty with mud, etc. , gently wipe it away with a dish towel which is moistened with mild soap. Never apply paint thinner, benzine or alcohol; damage will result. Angle of Beam Switch on the light at night in flat place, and adjust the angle vertically. (It is also adjusted 10° horizontally. ) To adjust, loosen the screw of the bracket a little. When using this light on public roads, be sure to adjust the angle downward so as not to blind oncoming traffic. REPLACING BOTTLE BATTERY By preparing a spare bottle battery, you can continue to use the light and the time for night riding will be extended. Note: When closing the battery cap, be careful not to catch dust around the rubber ring. In this case, connect the plug of the charger directly to the jack inside of the bottle battery. 1 2 Battery cap Jack HOW TO CHARGE Use only the included battery charger in an AC outlet for charging. Insert the plug of the battery charger into the jack of the bottle battery (or the jack inside of the battery cap). * The standard charging time is 8 hours if no charge is left in the battery. Never charge the battery for more than 24 hours; battery damage will result. Note: To make full use of the bottle battery's capacity, recharge after the battery's whole capacity has been consumed. If the battery does not serve the proper run time even after it has a full charge it may be at the end of it's useful life. Recharge / Discharge Number of Times: at least 500 (until rated capacity drops to 50%) Rubber ring BEFORE FIRST USE: The factory-loaded battery is not fully charged; the charge is useful only for a short period of time. Before first use, charge the battery fully following the instructions on [HOW TO CHARGE].
