3.3.2 Preparing the battery for use
The battery is supplied with your bicycle separate and partially
charged. To ensure that the battery uses its full capacity during
its life, when you use it for the first time make sure that you first
charge it fully with the charger.
To prepare the battery for use:
Check the battery before charging it for the first time or using it
with your bicycle.
1. Press the battery on/off button
41
to activate the battery.
If at least one LED is lit, but not all LEDs on the charge
indicator
42
are lit, you will need to charge the battery fully
before first use.
The battery can be charged in two ways:
•
disconnected from the bicycle;
•
on the bicycle.
"
DANGER
" Carefully read the safety instructions
with regard to the use of the battery and ensure
that you understand them.
For this, see sub-section ’Important safety
information when using the battery’, section 3.3.1
(page 30).
"
REMARK
" If there are no LEDs lit up on the charge
indicator, the battery is likely to be damaged. Do
not charge a damaged battery, and do not use it.
Contact a Gazelle specialist.
"
WARNING
" Only use the charger supplied with the
bicycle, or an identical, genuine Bosch charger.
Only that charger is suitable for your bicycle.
Use the charger only for your e-bike.
"
WARNING
" Never open the charging sockets that
were sealed by the manufacturer. Charging whilst
a socket is unsealed can lead to irreparable
damage.
