Normally the plug contacts are maintenance free. However, if you use your Piko light in salty
environments, it is advisable to apply a thin layer of
Lupine Dutch Grease
to the contacts
every so often to prevent oxidation.
Do NOT use terminal grease or contact spray.
Important!
Always disconnect the battery from the light!
Otherwise the small amount of power used by the electronics will discharge the battery, and
the lamp may be switched on accidentally. The consequent uncontrolled heat buildup could
cause a fire or melt adjacent plastic material.
If you intend not to use the lamp for a longer period of time, fully charge the battery and
leave it connected to the charger. For storing, we recommend a cool and dry place.
Important!
Because of the delicate sealings, we do not recommend to open the lamp.
A leakage in consequence of opening the light is excluded from warranty!

Product care and storage
Extended Operation
Audible:
To check the capacity, simply press the
touch-pad once. At first an audible sig-
nal will sound, which is especially useful
while using the battery mounted on
a helmet or headband, to give a quick
reading in 20% steps.
Capacity Indicator
(For batteries with capacity indicator)
Taillight
To run the taillight simply
press the touch pad two times
and the 5 LEDs will
operate continuously. To switch off the taillight, simply press the pad again.
Moving light:
Press the touch pad three times
to activate the moving light. To switch it off
press the button another time.
Note:
The capacity indicator will fade out within a few seconds. If it does not,
eventually the taillight was activated and the 5 glowing LEDs do by far not
mean the battery is fully charged.
Example:
3 LEDs
steady glow
(20 %, 40 %, 60 %)
1 LED
blinking
(80 %)
Visible:
The visible indicator uses 5 red LEDs. The LEDs can operate in two different
operating states: blinking and continuous. LED meanings:
A blinking LED
is indicating a 10% step and a continuously glowing LED a 20% step.

3 x
= 60%
2 x
= 40%
1 x
= 20%
= 70 % remaining capacity
