Before using the light, please thoroughly read this manual and keep it for future reference.
Thank you for purchasing the CATEYE
TRIPLE SHOT HL-EL 700RC
. The Triple Shot light uses high-power white LEDs, and has
a much longer operating life than other high-power rechargeable systems.
COMPONENTS
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Connecting and Securing Cables
1. Align the male and female cable ends and connect them. Turn
the plugs so that they are securely locked. Fix the cables to
your frame and/or stem to keep them secured.
CAUTION!:
Pay attention to the arrangement of the cable
so that it does not interfere with the handling
of the bicycle. Do not secure the cable at an
acute angle because the wire inside the cable
may break.

thicknesses of rubber pads are supplied; if necessary, cut
the rubber pad to fit.

bracket does not rotate on the handlebar.

Be sure to adjust the angle of the light’s beam
by referring to the “How to Adjust Beam
Angle” section in this manual before operat-
ing the lighting system.
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.)
Mounting Light Unit/Switch Unit
Mounting Light Unit
Mount the light unit onto the bracket.
To remove unit after use, pull it out while pressing the button
on the bracket.
CAUTION!: Make sure the light unit is cool to the touch
before removing it.
Mounting Switch Unit
Mount the switch unit onto the handlebar.
CAUTION!: Mount the switch unit where it does not
interfere with the handling of the bicycle. Make
sure that it is securely mounted.
1. Adjust the length of the strap with the toggle and wrap the
strap under the bar, hooking it on the switch unit. Make sure
the switch unit does not move around easily.
How to Store Battery Unit
The battery unit is stored in its bag as shown in the fig-
ure. In case the battery unit is out of its bag, be sure to
return it to its original state. Otherwise, rainwater may
enter the bag, leading to problems with the unit.
Run time
Standard charging time
Approx.
3
hours
Installing Battery Unit
Install the battery unit. If the battery unit has been taken out of
the battery bag, refer to the
“How to Charge Battery Unit”
section in this manual and check for the correct arrangement
of the cable and its storage state.
CAUTION!: When mounting the unit, make sure that the
seam of the battery bag is facing down and the
fold line is in front. Wind the fixing strap
around the center of the battery unit.
1. Wrap the fixing strap around the top tube to secure the unit.
CAUTION!:
Wrap the strap over the top tube but under
the gear and brake cables. Wrapping the strap
over the cables is dangerous as it may inter-
fere with braking and gear shifting.
2. Use the support strap to secure the battery unit to the down
tube to prevent it from rolling.
NOTE:
The battery can also be mounted on alternate positions
on the bicycle. However, please make sure that the seam
of the battery bag is facing down, and the fold line is in
front. This will help prevent any water from entering
the bag.

Important!
• 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.
• 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.
