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 firmly 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.
• 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.
• Dispose of used cartridge batteries appropriately according to lo-
cal regulations.
