EAD BEFORE USE

!

General:

Congratulations! You have just bought the brightest single LED Lamp – no other will give you
more light in this size!
The light and charger are ready to use immediately. Please read this instruction manual
carefully and completely to familiarise yourself with all the functions. Before hitting the trails,
first try the system at home to prevent any surprises while riding.

As with any other electrical device, there is a slight chance of failure at any time. Please be
aware and use with caution.

Lupine accepts no liability for any injuries or other damages arising from the use of this
product.

Rechargeable Battery:

The battery is supplied with a very small amount of charge. Before use it must be fully

charged (see chapter 4 "Charging"). The rechargeable Li-Ion battery will reach its full power

after 1 charge cycle.

It might become hot!

The TL 700 is not a simple torch. The lamp housing can become very hot if used without
airflow. Do not touch the lamp during or immediately after use.

If lamp is used without any airflow temperature control will reduce light power
stepless up to 3 W after some minutes automatically.

Dazzling:

The TL700 is a powerful light. Always use it with care and with respect for others. Do not look
directly into the light.

Waterproof?

All components of the TL 700 are splash proofed and will withstand even the most extreme
conditions. However, it is not a diving lamp and therefore not suitable for use under water.

Warranty:

The two year warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship only. Batteries are not
covered by this warranty. Modifications to the light or improper use also voids this warranty.

SING THE LIGHT

Initialising:

After connecting the lamp to the rechargeable battery part , the software will start a
self- test, the Power LED will flash once. The batteries voltage will be indicated with
the blue and red LED, please read more in the section “ Hints “

Now the TL 700 is ready for use.

Switch on:

By pressing the switch for the first time, the beam starts running on maximum power
( except the low start is choosen ) .
The blue LED will glow.

Dimming:

Pressing the button once, after the light has stabilised, will switch the light to low beam.
By pressing the button again the light will go up to high beam. After pressing the button again,
the light return to low beam mode.

3 steps: 12 W 2 steps: 12 W
4 W

1.5 W 1.5W

Switch off:

You can switch off the TL 700 by pressing the button longer than 2 seconds.

After you have turned off the lamp ( but battery is still connected ) blue LED will glow for some
seconds.

Reading the consumed capacity:

After turning off the lamp the consumed capacity will be indicated as follows:

First, the blue LED will blink 1 time per complete ampere hour,
then the green LED will blink 1 time per 1/10 ampere hour.

Example: The blue LED blinks 1 time and the green LED 5 times = the gone capacity is around
1,5 Ah. This information will help you to judge the actual condition of your rechargeable
battery before the next use.

Hint: PCS will count the consumed capacity always if the lamp unit is connected to the battery
part . But if the battery part is disconnected, counting will start from the beginning.

Controlling the remaining light time:

The electronics not only control the high and low beam; they also protect the rechargeable
battery against over-discharge and include a low battery indicator.

Low battery is signalled by the red LED.

Yellow LED lights: Significant amount of the capacity is gone!

Red LED lights: Very low capacity, only some minutes runtime !

Red LED flashes: Reserve tank activated

It is a matter of experience to interpret exactly how much time is left after the LEDs light up.
Remaining burn time depends on the battery's age and capacity and the operating
temperature.

Hint: When the red LED light up you can increase the remaining burn time with economical
use of the high beam.
