Manual

 WARNING!!!

• 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 firmly 

mounted to the bracket and it lights up.

• Always attention to the remaining battery power by 

checking the indicator periodically while using.

 CAUTION!

• Do not place it within children’s reach.
• In preparation for unexpected battery shutoff, we rec-

ommend you carry a spare cartridge battery and light.

• Mounting the light unit too close to a wireless comput-

er may adversely affect the reading of the computer.

• This product is water-resistant under normal daily use 

and can be used in the rain. However, do not inten-
tionally 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.

Cautions on recharging

• Avoid charging in direct sunlight or in a vehicle 

parked under direct sunlight, and make sure to 
charge only when the ambient temperature is 
between 41°F and 104 °F (5 and 40°C).

• Before charging, be sure that no dust or other 

foreign objects attach to the USB plug.

• Do not subject the light to vibrations while charging.
• Once charging is complete, be sure to disconnect 

the USB plug.

Cautions in use

• Charging, discharging, and storing in high tem-

peratures will cause the rechargeable battery to 
deteriorate faster. Do not place the light inside a 
vehicle or near a heater.

• When the operating time decreases significantly, 

the battery life is close to an end. Replace the 
cartridge battery with a new one.

Cautions on storage

• Cool and dry storage is recommended. For long 

period storage, it is important to charge the battery 
30 minutes every 6 months.

• When you store the cartridge battery alone, be sure 

to install the cap. Otherwise, damage or a fire may 
be caused by short circuit.

Cautions for dispose

Dispose of used cartridge batteries appropriately 

according to local regulations.
