CARE
The Centauri-1000 is designed to be used on bikes in some of the most extreme
outdoor conditions. Over time, dust and dirt may hinder the connections on your
battery and headlight. To prevent this from happening, ensure that both the battery
and headlight are clean after every ride.
Wipe the headlight and battery down with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the
battery or headlight in water. Remove all dirt around or on the plugs or jacks on
both the battery and headlight.
The Ultra Bright LEDs have extensive life so bulb replacement is not required.
