Operating Instructions

Bicycle Light Switch (Functional Switch)

On/Off: Press and hold the functional switch for 0.5 seconds to turn the light on/off.

Output Selection: With the light switched on, single click the functional switch to cycle through Eco/EDC → Low → Med → High → Burst.

Flash: With the light switched on, double click the functional switch to enter flash mode; single click to switch back to general mode.

Wireless Remote Switch

Switches: Output Selection switch and Burst switch.

First Connection: Press and hold the functional switch on the light for 5 seconds until it flashes red and green, then quickly click the switch on the wireless remote — the light will flash green to confirm pairing was successful.

Note: 1) After the first connection, the wireless remote switch automatically memorizes the paired status; there is no need to pair again afterward. 2) Keep the wireless remote switch within about 5 meters (linear distance) of the light during the pairing process.

Output Selection: With the light switched on, click the output selection switch on the wireless remote to cycle through Eco/EDC → Low → Med → High → Burst.

Instant Burst: With the light switched on or off, quick-click the Burst switch to instantly switch to 2200-lumen output; the light automatically returns to its previous mode (or powers off) about 30 seconds after the Burst button is released.

Warning: Do not mix batteries of different brands, sizes, capacities, or types, and do not mix new and used batteries. Only use protected batteries suited for high-drain devices; an unsuitable cell carries a risk of combustion or explosion.

Battery Replacement

Rotate the tail cap counterclockwise to unlock it, then pull it out to open the battery compartment.
Insert the batteries, matching the polarity markings shown inside the battery compartment.
Reinsert the battery cover into the body and rotate the tail cap clockwise until snug to lock it in place.

Low-Voltage Warning

The functional switch flashes red to remind the user to replace or recharge the batteries when the voltage level drops below a preset level. The light will maintain a low-lumen output rather than shutting off automatically. Note: this warning may not function reliably when CR123A batteries are used.

Overheat Protection

The light will accumulate a lot of heat when working on Burst or High mode. The light will automatically step down the output when the temperature reaches a certain level to protect the light and the user.

Mounting Instructions

Loosen the screw on the bike mount and position it on the bike handlebar, aligning it with the front of the light.
Tighten the mount ring around the handlebar by rotating it clockwise until secure, using the shims provided to fit different handlebar diameters.
Slide the light onto the mount until it clicks securely into place.

Note: If the light and wireless remote switch will not be used for an extended period (over 6 months), remove the batteries from both to avoid damage from leakage, and recharge periodically to maintain optimal battery life.

Usage and Maintenance

Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
Scratches on the anodized surface do not affect performance.
If the light is used regularly, periodically check the O-rings for wear and replace them if damaged.
Regularly clean and dry the light and the wireless remote switch to maintain functionality.

Warning

This light is a high-intensity lighting device capable of causing eye damage to the user or others. Avoid shining the light directly into anyone's eyes.
