When the voltage level drops below 25% of the total level, the battery level indicator blinks red to remind you to recharge in a timely manner. The light will not turn off automatically and will keep working until the battery runs out.

Mounting Instruction

Mounting strap: loop the strap (without LOGO) around the taillight's small opening and place the taillight on the seat post face up, then loop the other end (with LOGO) around the taillight's other small opening and adjust to the seat post's size.

Body clip: with the body clip and taillight both face up, push the small opening on both sides of the taillight downward onto the spout of the body clip.

Note: applicable to bike seat post diameters between 20mm and 35mm.

Usage and Maintenance

Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage and will void the warranty.
Recharge the light promptly when the battery level is critical.
Recharge a stored light every 3 months to maintain optimal battery performance.
Periodic cleaning helps if the light flickers, shines intermittently, or fails to illuminate due to a poor battery level — recharge or replace the battery.
If issues persist, contact your authorized distributor.
