DOWNLOAD PROGRAMS FROM THE D.I.Y. SOFTWARE
To download Programs from the D.I.Y. Software, the Docking
Station must be powered by a wall outlet, the Docking Station must
be connected to the host computer and the headlamp must be
connected to the Docking Station.
1. Plug the AC Adapter into the Docking Station and then into
the wall socket. The “Power” indicator on the docking station
will illuminate solid red.
2. Plug one end of the USB Cable into the Docking Station and the
other end into the USB port of a computer. The “USB/PC”
indicator will illuminate solid yellow.
3. Connect the Pro 3600 headlamp to the Docking Station. The
“Headlamp” indicator will illuminate solid yellow.
4. Click the “Update” button on the D.I.Y. Software control panel
to initiate transmission of Programs to the headlamp. Refer to the
“D.I.Y. Pro LED Series Software Guide” for detailed information
on the software features and how they function.
5. Both the “USB/PC” and “Headlamp” indicators will blink
indicating Programs are being downloaded through the Docking
Station and into the headlamp.
6. With a successful download, the headlamp LED indicator
changes from red to green.
Warning: Disconnecting the headlamp from the docking station,
or the docking station from the computer, or disrupting power
to the docking station while transmitting Programs from the
D.I.Y. Software will create a problem. The headlamp will either
not operate or operate unpredictably. To correct this situation,
disconnect power to the docking station, wait 10 seconds, then
reconnect power. The D.I.Y. Software and docking station will
reconnect, then repeat the downloading process.
D.I.Y. SOFTWARE
The latest version of the
D.I.Y Software
is available to download at
www.niteriderservices.com. The software runs under Windows 2000
and above. For detailed information on the software please refer to
the
“D.I.Y. Pro LED Series Software Guide”

RIDING AT NIGHT
While a Pro 3600 lighting system will dramatically improve your
view, control and enjoyment of night riding, please remember that
cycling at night is an inherently dangerous activity. In addition to
using your lighting system properly and riding with extreme caution,
NiteRider urges you to:
• Never ride alone
• Always let someone know where you are going
• Wear a helmet and reflective clothing
• Carry an auxiliary light and emergency supplies
• Make sure the headlamp, mounting bracket and battery
are securely fastened.
• Always disconnect the battery from the headlamp when
transporting the light system.
PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT
Properly charge your battery to maximize its lifespan (see the
“Battery Charging and Care” section for detailed information). When
not in use, always disconnect the headlamp from the battery tray.
To unplug, grasp the connector, not the cable.
The Pro 3600 will perform in wet weather conditions, but
submerging it in water will damage the system.

FACTORY SETTINGS
Factory settings are locked and cannot be changed. The Pro 3600
factory settings include 3 light levels and the one flash pattern. See
table below.
THERMAL STEP DOWN
If the Pro 3600 headlamp is used in a static air environment, such
as bench testing, heat retention, due to inadequate airflow, may
cause the light output to “step down” to a lower level to avoid
damage. In rare cases of extreme heat retention the light will power
of to protect the LED’s from overheating. Use a fan if bench testing the
light in a static air environment.
DOCKING STATION
The Docking Station has two uses.
1. To recharge the Pro Series Li-Ion battery
2. To download Programs from the D.I.Y Software to the headlamp
BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE
Battery Recharging
A Pro 3600 (8-cell, 7.4v, 11.6Ah, Li-Ion) will fully charge in 5:00 hours
1. Plug the AC Adapter into the Docking Station and then into
the wall socket. The “Power” indicator on the docking station
will illuminate solid red.
2. Place the battery into the Docking Station. The “Battery”
indicator will illuminate solid blue indicating contact and that
the battery is ready to charge. A blinking yellow indicator
signifies the battery is out of the permissible temperature
range for charging.
3. Status of the 5-step charging process is displayed on the front
panel of the Docking Station.
4. When the battery is fully charged the “Charged” indicator will
illuminate solid green and charging will shut off automatically.
5. Leaving the battery in the Docking Station indefinitely will not
harm the battery. Every 24-hours the Docking Station will test
the battery level and apply a charge if required.
Warning: If the “Batt Error” indicator illuminates solid red contact
NiteRider Customer Service for assistance.
