FOR SAFE OPERATION

Do not place it within children's reach.
In preparation for unexpected battery shutoff, we recommend you carry a dry-cell
battery light unit with you.
If the light unit or parts become dirty with mud, etc., clean with a soft cloth which is
moistened with mild soap. Never apply paint thinner, benzine or alcohol; damage
will result.
Mount the light unit more than 10 cm away from the wireless meter. When it is
mounted too close, the transmission may be affected adversely.
This product has waterproof features that allow you to use it in rain. Do not use it
soaked in water.

Before Initial Use

Before shipment, it is charged enough to check the light. Be sure to charge it before use,
according to the instructions "How to charge."

CAUTION!:

Make sure to tighten the dial by
hand. If you tighten it too hard
with a tool, the screw threads may
be stripped.
When the angle adjustment on the
right and left sides is loose, tighten
the screw (*1).
Round off the cut edg e of the
bracket strap to prevent injury.

How to Adjust Beam Angle

Slightly loosen the dial on the
bracket.

Adjust the light unit angle so that
the light is not directed to oncom­ing cars.

When the dial is too fi rm to loosen, wash it
slightly with water to loosen it.

Do not loosen the dial too much, or the bracket
strap may come off. Loosen the dial just enough
to allow the bracket to move slightly. Securely
tighten the dial after adjusting the strap.
It can also be adjusted 10 degrees to the left
and right.
