THIS BRIEF USER MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND STORE IN A SAFE PLACE.
This user manual is specific to your Range Extender (RE). It contains important safety, performance, and technical information, which you should read before your first use and keep for reference. You
should also read the entire TURBO SL bicycle manual and the
Specialized Bicycle Owner’s Manual
(“Owner’s Manual”), because they have additional important general information and instructions
which you should follow. If you do not have a copy of these documents, you can download them at no cost at www.specialized.com, or obtain them from your nearest Authorized Specialized Retailer or
Specialized Rider Care.
When reading this manual, you will note various important symbols and warnings, which are explained below:
WARNING! The combination of this symbol and word indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death. Many of the
Warnings say “you may lose control and fall.” Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or death.
CAUTION: The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices.
The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious damage to the bicycle or the voiding of your
warranty.
INFO: This symbol alerts the reader to information which is particularly important.
WARNINGS AND SAFETY NOTES
Your bicycle is powered by either one or two Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Always adhere to the following instructions when handling or charging the RE or when using the RE on your bicycle:
Only operate the RE between the temperature range of -20° C (-4° F) and +60° C (+140° F).
Only use the RE with the TURBO SL bicycle. Do not use the RE with any other bicycle or any other battery with the TURBO SL bicycle, even if it fits.
Before riding the bicycle, make sure the RE is properly secured in the bottle cage on the frame.
Always turn the bicycle off before connecting or disconnecting the RE from the charge port.
Turn off the bicycle and unplug the charger or RE from the charge port before performing work of any kind, such as installation, maintenance, cleaning and/or repair. Touching the contacts when the
bicycle is ON can result in electric shock and/or injury.
WHEN CHARGING THE RE:
Regularly inspect the RE and charger for damage. Never charge a RE which you suspect is damaged or know is broken, and do not use it.
Make sure the charging socket and plug are clean and dry before connecting and charging the RE.
Only use the supplied charger cord. Ensure the cord plug is fully inserted in the charger before plugging the charger into a power outlet.
Only use the Specialized charger supplied with the bicycle or other chargers approved by Specialized. Inspect the charger before every use for possible damage to the charger itself, the cable
or the charging plug. Never use a charger which you suspect is damaged or know to be broken.
OBSERVE AND OBEY:
Do not modify, open or disassemble the RE. Modification or disassembly may result in a short circuit, fire or malfunction.
Keep the RE away from small metal objects as that can cause a short-circuit.
Do not allow any nails, screws or other small, sharp and/or metallic objects to come in contact with the RE’s charging socket.
Do not allow the RE to overheat. Protect the RE from excessive sun exposure.
Do not expose the RE to an open fire or radiator heat.
Do not submerge the RE in water.
Do not use a RE that shows any signs of damage to the casing or charge port, or is leaking any fluids. Battery liquid can cause skin irritation and burns. In the event of damage that results in skin or
eye contact with any liquid from the battery, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.
WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions in this section may result in damage to electrical components on your bicycle and will void your warranty, but, most
importantly, may result in serious personal injury or death. If your RE exhibits any signs of damage, do not use it and immediately bring it to your Authorized Specialized
Retailer for inspection.
