2 Safety Information
Read this operating manual and observe all safety information and instructions. Failures
to comply with safety information and instructions may result in electrical shock, fire,
and/or severe injuries.
Save this operating manual. This will allow you to read information on various functions,
for instance, at a later time.
The Control Panel Comfort is part of the pedelec drive system. Read and observe the
safety information and instructions in all operating manuals for the pedelec, in particular
in the operating manual for the electric drive. This is the only way to ensure you can use
the pedelec safely.
Do not let yourself be distracted by the Control Panel Comfort display. If you do not
concentrate exclusively on traffic, you risk becoming involved in an accident. Check the
displayed elements, change support levels, activate the pushing aid, and switch the
light on or off during travel. Stop before entering data into the Control Panel Comfort.
Do not open the Control Panel Comfort. Opening the Control Panel Comfort could de-
stroy it, and will nullify any warranty claims.
Do not use the Control Panel Comfort as a handle. If you lift the pedelec by the Control
Panel Comfort, you could irreparably damage the unit.
WARNING!
Adjust the Control Panel Comfort basic settings before beginning travel.
Failure to concentrate while riding poses a danger to other road users.
Become familiar with the functions of the pedelec and operations of the Control
Panel Comfort before starting your first ride.
Take the operating manual along on all trips. This will allow you to read about
more rarely-used functions as necessary.
