Page 6
TO ENSURE SAFETY
• Ensure that head and tail lights can turn on before riding the bicycle.
• Do not disassemble the product. Disassembling may cause injury.
• Do not leave the cycle computer in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment such as in a closed vehicle on a hot day, or near a heater. If a battery is incorporated, it could result in an explosion of the built-in battery or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• Do not expose the cycle computer to excessively low pressures. If a battery is incorporated, it could result in an explosion of the built-in battery or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas. Transporting this product by air is not a problem.
• When charging the battery while it is installed on the bicycle, do not move the bicycle. The battery charger's power plug may come loose and not be fully inserted into the electrical outlet, resulting in a risk of fire.
• Do not touch the drive unit when it has been continuously used for a long period of time. The surface of the drive unit becomes hot and could cause burns.
 Lithium-ion battery
• If any liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes, immediately wash the affected area thoroughly with clean water such as tap water without rubbing your eyes, and seek medical attention immediately. If this is not done, the battery liquid may damage your eyes.
• Do not recharge the battery in very humid places or the outdoors. Doing so may result in electric shock.
• Do not insert or remove the plug while it is wet. Doing so may result in electric shock. If the inside of the plug is wet, dry it thoroughly before inserting it.
• If the battery does not become fully charged even 2 hours after the designated charging time, immediately unplug the battery from the electrical outlet and contact the place of purchase. Doing otherwise may cause it to overheat, burst, or ignite.
• Do not use the battery if it has any noticeable scratches or other external damage. If this is not observed, bursting, overheating or problems with operation may occur.
• Do not use it outside of the operating temperature range of the battery. If it is used or stored in temperatures which are outside these ranges, fire, injury or problems with operation may occur.
1. During discharge: -10°C - 50°C
2. During charging: 0°C - 40°C
 For installation to the bicycle and maintenance
• Be sure to remove the battery and charging cable before wiring or attaching parts to the bicycle. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock.

Page 7
TO ENSURE SAFETY
• The two left crank screws should be tightened alternately in stages rather than each fully tightened at once. Use a torque wrench to check that the tightening torques are within the range of 12 - 14 N·m. Also, after riding approximately 100 km (60 miles), use a torque wrench to re-check the tightening torques. Thereafter, continue to check the tightening torques periodically. If the tightening torques are too weak or if the fixing screws are not tightened alternately in stages, the left crank may come off and the bicycle may fall over, and serious injury may occur as a result.
• Clean the chain with an appropriate chain cleaner regularly. Intervals between maintenance depend on the use and riding circumstances.
• Never use alkali- or acid-based solvents such as rust cleaners. If those solvents are used the chain might break and cause serious injury.
 Disposal precautions
• Observe all federal, state and local environmental regulations when disposing of a cycle computer that incorporates a battery. Disposal of this product into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of it, can result in an explosion of the built-in battery.
CAUTION
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• Observe the instructions in the manual for the bicycle in order to ride safely.
• Periodically check the battery charger and adapter, particularly the cord, plug, and case, for any damage. If the battery charger or adapter is damaged, consult the place of purchase.
• Use the product under the supervision of someone responsible for safety, and only as instructed. Do not allow anyone (including children) with reduced physical, sensual, or mental capacity, or those without experience or knowledge, to use the product.
• Do not allow children to play near the product.
• Never modify the system. Doing so may cause a system error.
 Lithium-ion battery
• Do not leave the battery in a place exposed to direct sunlight, inside a vehicle on a hot day, or other hot places. This may result in battery leakage.
• If any leaked fluid gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off immediately with clean water. The leaked fluid may damage your skin.
• Store the battery in a safe place out of the reach of children.
