WARNING
To ensure safe riding
•
Do not give too much of your attention to the cycle
computer display while riding, otherwise accidents may
result.
•
Check that the wheels are securely installed to the bicycle
before commencing riding. If the wheels are not securely
installed, the bicycle may fall over and serious injury may
result.
•
If riding a power-assisted bicycle, make sure that you are
fully familiar with the starting-off characteristics of the
bicycle before riding it on roads with several vehicle lanes
and pedestrian footpaths. If the bicycle starts off
suddenly, accidents may result.
•
Check that the bicycle lights illuminate before riding at
night.
Using the product safely
•
Be sure to remove the battery and charging cable before
wiring or attaching parts to the bicycle. Otherwise, an
electric shock may result.
•
When charging the battery while it is installed on the
bicycle, do not move the bicycle. The power plug for the
battery charger may come loose and not be fully inserted
into the electrical outlet, resulting in risk of fire.
•
When installing this product, be sure to follow the
instructions given in the user's manual. Furthermore, it is
recommended that you use only genuine Shimano parts
at these times. If bolts and nuts are left loosened or the
product is damaged, the bicycle may suddenly fall over
and serious injury may result.
•
Do not disassemble the product. Disassembling it may
cause injury to persons.
•
After reading the user's manual carefully, keep it in a
safe place for later reference.
Handling the 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 advice immediately. If this is not done,
the battery liquid may damage your eyes.
•
Do not recharge the battery in places with high humidity
or outdoors. Doing so may result in electric shock.
•
Do not insert or remove the plug while it is wet. If this is
not observed, electric shocks may result. If there is water
leaking out of the plug, dry it thoroughly before
inserting it.
•
If the charging of the battery continues exceeds 2 hours
after the prescribed charging time, immediately unplug
the battery from the outlet to stop charging, and contact
the place of purchase. Failure to do so may cause
overheating, bursting, or ignition of the battery.
•
Do not use the battery if it has any noticeable scratches
or other external damage. Doing so may cause bursting,
overheating or problems with operation.
•
The operating temperature ranges for the battery are
given below. Do not use the battery in temperatures
outside these ranges. If the battery is used or stored in
temperatures 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
Cleaning
•
The frequency of maintenance will vary depending on
the riding conditions. Periodically clean the chain using
an appropriate chain cleaner. Do not use alkaline or
acidic cleaning agents for removing rust under any
circumstances. If such cleaning agents are used, they may
damage the chain and serious injury may result.
5
CAUTION
To ensure safe riding
•
Observe the instructions in the user's manual for the
bicycle, in order to ride safely.
Using the product safely
•
Periodically check the battery charger and adapter,
particularly the cord, plug, and case, for any damage. If
the charger or adapter is broken, do not use it until it has
been repaired.
•
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
•
Do not allow children to play near the product.
Handling the 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
infants and pets.
Cleaning
•
If any malfunctions or other problems occur, contact the
place of purchase.
•
Never attempt to modify the system yourself, as it may
cause problems with system operation.
Note
Using the product safely
•
Be sure to install caps to any connectors which are not
being used.
•
For installation and adjustment of the product, consult a
dealer.
•
The Product is designed to be fully waterproof to
withstand wet weather riding conditions. However, do
not deliberately place them into water.
•
Do not clean the bicycle in a high-pressure wash. If water
gets into any of the components, operating problems or
rusting may result.
•
Do not turn the bicycle upside down. The cycle computer
or the shifting switch may get damaged.
•
Handle the product carefully, and avoid subjecting it to
any strong shocks.
•
Although the bicycle still functions as a normal bicycle
even when the battery is removed, the light does not
turn on if it is connected to the electric power system. Be
aware that using the bicycle under these conditions will
be considered non-observance of the road traffic laws in
Germany.
•
When charging the battery while it is mounted on the
bicycle, be careful of the following:
-
When charging, make sure there is no water on the
charging port or the charger plug.
-
Ensure that the battery is locked into the battery
mount before charging.
-
Do not remove the battery from the battery mount
while charging.
-
Do not ride with the charger mounted.
-
Close the charging port cap when not charging.
-
Stabilize the bicycle to ensure that it does not
collapse during charging.
Handling the battery
•
When you carry a power-assisted bicycle in a car, remove
the battery from the bicycle and place the bicycle on a
stable surface in the car.
•
Before connecting the battery, make sure that there is no
buildup of water or dirt in the connector where the
battery will be connected.
•
The use of a genuine Shimano battery is recommended. If
using a battery from another manufacturer, make sure to
carefully read the instruction manual for the battery
before use.

Preparation
You cannot use the battery immediately after shipment.
The battery can be used after charging it with the designated charger.
Be sure to charge it before use. The battery can be used when the LED on it lights up.
The use of a genuine SHIMANO battery is recommended. If using a battery from another manufacturer, make sure to
carefully read the instruction manual for the battery before use.
Charging the battery
Charging time varies depending on the remaining capacity of the battery and the charger used. For the designated charging
time, refer to the charger user manual.
DANGER
•
Use the battery and charger combination specified by the company for charging and follow the charging conditions specified by the
company. Not doing so may cause overheating, bursting, or ignition of the battery.
CAUTION
•
When charging the battery while it is mounted on the bicycle, be careful not to trip over the charger cord or get anything caught
on it. This may lead to injury or cause the bicycle to fall over, damaging the components.
NOTE
• When removing the battery charger power plug from the outlet or the charging
plug from the battery, do not pull it out by the cord, or it causes breakage.
• If the bicycle is stored for an extended period of time immediately after purchase,
you will need to charge the battery before using the bicycle. Once the battery is
charged, it starts to deteriorate.
• Connect to E-TUBE PROJECT and click [Connection check] to confirm whether the
battery in use is a genuine SHIMANO battery or another brand.
• Charge the batteries on a flat surface indoors.
