port, there is a risk that the charging plug will not fit into the
charging port.
•
Using the battery outside the operating temperature range
may cause problems with operation or performance
degradation.
•
The charging time is longer when the battery temperature is
high.
Handling the satellite system ON/OFF
switch
If the power cannot be turned ON using the satellite system ON/
OFF switch, try the following:
•
Leave the E-BIKE in an environment at a temperature of 0°C to
50°C for a while, then try turning the power ON using the
satellite system ON/OFF switch. If the power still cannot be
turned ON, use the main battery power button to turn the
power ON.
•
If the power still cannot be turned ON after trying the above,
contact the place of purchase.
Using the satellite system ON/OFF switch to operate the power of
the E-BIKE consumes power in the internal battery of the satellite
system ON/OFF switch. The internal battery is charged from the
main battery of the E-BIKE while the power of the E-BIKE is ON,
even while traveling.
Because the internal battery of the satellite system ON/OFF
switch is not charged when it is outside the operating
temperature range, it may not be possible to turn the power ON
from the satellite system ON/OFF switch, depending on the
ambient temperature. When storing an E-BIKE with a satellite
system ON/OFF switch for an extended period of time, it is
recommended that you place it in an environment at a
temperature of 0°C to 50°C and periodically turn the power ON.
Care and maintenance
•
The number written on the key of the battery mount is
necessary when purchasing a spare key. Store it carefully.
•
Do not use thinner or other solvents to clean any of the
components. Doing so may damage their surface.
•
When there is dirt on the terminals of the battery mount and
battery charger, remove the battery, remove the power plug
from the electrical outlet, and then clean them with a clean
rag or cotton bud dampened with ethanol, etc. If you
repeatedly install and remove the battery while they are still
dirty, it may cause wear on the terminals and make them
unable to be used.
Terminal example
Page 9
•
Keep the surface where the battery contacts the battery
mount clean. If the battery is connected with foreign material
such as dirt or dust attached, the battery may become unable
to be removed.
•
Use a damp, well wrung out cloth when cleaning the battery
and plastic cover.
•
If you have any questions about the use and maintenance of
the product, consult the place of purchase.
•

Introduction
You cannot use the battery immediately after shipment. The
battery can be used after fully charging it with the designated
battery charger. Be sure to charge it before use. The battery can
be used when the LED on it turns on.
Items for regular inspection
before riding the bicycle
Inspect the following items before riding the bicycle. If any
problems are found, consult the place of purchase or distributor.
•
Is the battery level sufficient?
•
Is the battery installed correctly?
•
If the bicycle will not be ridden for an extended period, store it
with a battery level of approximately 70%. Also, charge the
battery once every six months to ensure that it is not
completely discharged.
•
After a prolonged storage time, it may be necessary to charge
and discharge the batteries multiple times to restore their
original performance.
•
Store the battery or bicycle with battery installed in a cool
indoor location away from direct sunlight and rain (estimate:
10 to 20°C). If the storage temperature is low or high, the
performance of the battery is reduced, and its useable time
will be shorter. When you use the battery after a long storage
period, make sure to charge it first.
îš„
Battery life
•
The battery is an exhaustible item. The battery will gradually
lose its capacity to charging after repeated use. If the length
of time that the battery can be used and its traveling distance
become extremely short, it has probably reached the end of its
life, and so you will need to purchase a new battery.
•
The life of the battery will vary depending on factors such as
the storage method, the usage conditions, the surrounding
environment and the characteristics of the individual battery
pack.
