– With the on-board computer inserted, push the on/off
button on the eBike battery (bicycle manufacturer-spe-
cific solutions are possible when there is no access to the
battery on/off button; see the battery operating instruc-
tions).
The drive is activated as soon as you start pedalling (except
if you are using the push-assistance function or if the assist-
ance level is set to
OFF
). The motor output depends on the
settings of the assistance level on the on-board computer.
As soon as you stop pedalling when in normal operation, or
as soon as you have reached a speed of
25/45
km/h
, the
eBike drive switches off the assistance. The drive is automat-
ically reactivated as soon you start pedalling again and the
speed is below
25/45
km/h
.
The following options are available for
switching off
the
eBike system:
– Briefly press the on/off button
(4)
of the on-board com-
puter.
– Switch off the eBike battery using its on/off button (bi-
cycle manufacturer-specific solutions are possible when
there is no access to the battery on/off button; see the bi-
cycle manufacturer operating instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer from its holder.
If no power is drawn from the eBike drive for about
10 minutes (e.g. because the eBike is not moving) and no
button is pressed on the on-board computer or the operating
unit of the eBike, the eBike system, and therefore also the
battery, will switch off automatically to save energy.
Power supply of the on-board computer
If the on-board computer is in the holder
(5)
, a sufficiently
charged eBike battery is inserted into the eBike and the
eBike system is switched on, then the on-board computer
battery is powered and charged by the eBike battery.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder
(5)
,
the power is supplied by the on-board computer battery. If
the on-board computer battery's charge is running low, a
warning message appears on the display.
To charge the on-board computer battery, slide the on-board
computer back onto the holder
(5)
. Note that if you do not
charge the eBike battery straight away, the eBike system will
automatically switch off after 10 minutes of inactivity. If this
happens, the on-board computer battery will also stop char-
ging.
You can also charge the on-board computer via the USB
port
(6)
. To do this, open the protective cap
(17)
. Use a Mi-
cro USB cable to connect the USB port on the on-board com-
puter to a commercially available USB charger (not included
with the product as standard) or to the USB port of a com-
puter (max.
5 V
charging voltage; max.
500 mA
charging
current).
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder
(5)
, all
values for the functions are saved and can still be scrolled
through.
If the Kiox battery is not recharged, the date and time will be
retained for up to 6 months. When the on-board computer is
switched on again, the date and time will be reset if a
Bluetooth
® connection to the app has been established and
the smartphone has successfully identified the current loca-
tion via GPS.
Note:
The Kiox
only
charges while it is switched on.
Note:
If the Kiox is switched off during charging via a USB
cable, the Kiox can only be switched on again once the USB
cable has been disconnected.
Note:
To maximise the lifespan of the on-board computer's
battery, it should be recharged for one hour every three
months.

The battery charge indicator of the eBike battery
d
(see
"Start page", page English – 6) can be read on the status
page and in the status bar. The eBike battery's state of
charge is also indicated by the LEDs on the eBike battery it-
self.
Colour of the indicator
Explanation
White
The eBike battery is over
30 % charged.
Yellow
The eBike battery is between
15 % and 30 % charged.
Red
The eBike battery is between
0 % and 15 % charged.
Red + !
The capacity for assisting the
drive has been used up, and
assistance is switched off.
The remaining capacity will
be provided for the bike
lights and the on-board com-
puter.
If the eBike battery is being charged on the bike, a corres-
ponding notification will be displayed.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder
(5)
,
the state of charge that was last displayed for the battery is
saved.
Storage mode/resetting the Kiox
The on-board computer has an energy-saving storage mode
which minimises the rate at which the internal battery dis-
charges. Setting to this mode erases the date and time.
This mode can only be activated by pressing and holding the
on/off button
(4)
of the on-board computer for at least 8
seconds.
If the on-board computer does not start when the on/off but-
ton
(4)
is pressed briefly, the on-board computer is in stor-
age mode.
You can deactivate storage mode by pressing the on/off but-
ton
(4)
for at least 2 seconds.
The on-board computer detects whether it is in a fully func-
tional condition. If you press and hold the on/off button
(4)
for at least 8 seconds while in a fully functional condition,
the on-board computer will go into storage mode. If, con-
trary to expectations, the Kiox is not in a fully functional con-
dition and cannot be operated, pressing and holding the on/
off button
(4)
(for at least 8 seconds) will reset it. After be-
ing reset, the on-board computer will restart automatically
