 WARNING!!! / CAUTION!

• This light emits an extremely powerful beam equivalent to automo-

bile headlight so it may cause a hazardous situation depending on 

the beam angle used. Be sure to direct the light beam downward 

so the driver approaching does not get dazzled.

• Before your trip, please make sure the light is fi rmly mounted to the 

bracket, it lights up, and the light is not blocked by baggage, etc.

• Do not stare at the light when it is illuminating. 

Otherwise it may damage your eyesight. 

• Do not place it within children’s reach.
• Always attention to the remaining battery power by checking the 

indicator periodically while using.

• In preparation for unexpected battery shutoff, we recommend you 

carry a spare light.

• Mount the light unit more than 3 cm away from the wireless meter. When 

it is mounted too close, the transmission may be affected adversely.

• This product is water-resistant under normal daily use and can be 

used in the rain. However, do not intentionally submerge it in water.

• 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.
