Safety information
This Instruction Manual uses signal words to alert you regarding potential
hazards or important information. The meaning of the signal words is listed
below:
Describes a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in a fatal
accident or serious injury.
NOTICE Indicates information considered important, but not hazard-related
(e.g. information related to property damage).
The symbol is used to provide other useful information about your new bicycle
component. NOTICE Products made by Busch + Müller are suitable for use on
bicycles cycling on a firm surface. Avoid any extreme use, and never ride down
stairs or perform jumps, stunts, tricks, bunny hops or vertical descents on
rough terrain.
Legal regulations
Before cycling on public roads you must, at any time, be aware of and observe the applicable national laws and statutes as well as local regulations. For information, either consult the Road Traffic Regulations or depending on your respective place of residence other sources for information.

Assembly
General information
Make sure your headlight is not covered under any circumstances. Take care
that the headlight has been mounted and aligned as prescribed. For headlights
with a separate reflector, make sure that the make sure that the reflector **3** is aligned perpendicular to the road surface.
In Germany, the prescribed mounting height for headlights **1** and
reflectors **3** ranges between about 400 and 1,200 mm. For details, consult
your national Road Traffic Regulations or contact a local bicycle specialist
retailer. Always make sure the headlight is mounted and aligned in a way to
ensure that oncoming traffic is not blinded.
WARNING To avoid falls, accidents and severe injuries, always use the
enclosed Busch + Müller assembly bracket. If unsuitable or improperly
positioned brackets are used, the headlight may probably come loose, slide
down and, in the worst case, get caught in the wheel spokes.
NOTICE Never mount brackets on forks or seat stays!
NOTICE Never mount brackets on conical components! Make sure to tighten
all screws in a way to ensure the headlight**1** cannot move all by itself.
This is especially important when cycling on uneven terrain.
Headlight alignment
Align the bicycle headlight **1** in a way to ensure that oncoming
traffic is not blinded. On a completely flat road, the horizontal light edge
(cut-off line) must always be visible on the road.
WARNING Do not use the bicycle if the light beam of your headlight
**1** is misaligned or the headlight 1 is too loose. Only align or tighten
the bicycle headlight **1** when the bicycle is not moving. Blinding
oncoming traffic can lead to accidents. Before aligning the bicycle headlight
**1** loosen the bracket retaining screw. Make sure to retighten this screw
again after aligning the headlight **1** so that neither the screw nor the
headlight can come loose or move all by themselves.
WARNING Never look directly into the light of the bicycle headlight
**1** when switched on.
IQ-X E Assembly
Securely attach the headlight **1**to the bicycle using the enclosed Busch
- Müller bracket
**2**so that it does not adjust itself, and its position on the bicycle cannot change. This adjustment must be checked before initial use. If other brackets are used, no guarantee can be given for secure attachment. Never mount on the fork leg or on conical components. Mounting example fork crown: First loosen the existing screw on the fork crown of your bicycle. Insert this screw through the screw hole provided at the lower end of the Busch + Müller bracket**2**and then tighten it again to ensure the the headlight 1 cannot come loose or move all by itself.
Suspended assembly
ATTENTION: If the headlight **1** is to be mounted in a suspended
position, please ensure to not simply turn it or place it upside down. Other
road users would be dazzled! In order to align the headlight correctly in a
suspended position, loosen the plastic ring around the headlight 1 and turn it
by 180°. For this purpose, detach the headlight **1**from the Busch + Müller
bracket **2**first and then slightly spread the circumferential plastic ring
and move the ring around the headlight **1**by 180°.
WARNING Make sure that the cable outlets on the headlight **1** always
point straight down. This is the only way to ensure that the light pattern of
the headight **1**is ideally aligned and protected from water penetration in
the best possible way. NOTICE The headlight **1**must be mounted either
upright (Busch + Müller bracket **2** and the cable outlet pointing in
exactly the same direction) or suspended and rotated by 180° (Busch + Müller
bracket **2** and the cable outlet pointing in exactly the opposite
direction). Otherwise, there is a risk that the headlight **1**might adjust
all by itself.
For suspended assembly, the reflector **3**must not be mounted ,,overhead”.
Please mount the the reflector **3**elsewhere parallel to the road at a
height between 400 and 1,200 mm.
Connection
The headlight is exclusively designed for connection to a direct voltage
source of 5 to 48V , e.g. to an e-bike battery. Connection to an AC voltage
source (e.g. dynamo) is not permitted! The headlight 1 requires at least 7.5 W
nominal power.
Usage of this headlight is only permitted on vehicles that ensure power is
still available to supply the lighting system for at least **2** hours after
the battery has been switched off due to discharge.
To connect to an e-bike battery, the internally mounted double cable (black
wire = – ,black/white wire = +) must be used. Do not cut off the cable
completely, just shorten it to the required length.
Operation
Switching the headlight on and off via the display or the switch on the e-bike
(if the system offers this option). The headlight does not have its own
switch.
The integral light/dark sensor automatically switches between the day and
night mode.
Day mode: LEDs for daylight function – very bright for best visibility.
Night mode: Maximum light with 150 lux for best range of vision.
WARNING Never adjust the headlight range of your headlight **1** while
driving! Serious falls and injuries can result.
Additional information
Cleaning: Protect your headlight from the effects of high pressure water. For example, never point a water hose or high-pressure cleaner directly at the headlight. Transporto: If you transport your bicycle by car in rainy weather, cover the headlight with a plastic bag, for example, to protect it from moisture. Radio speedometers: The electronics of radio speedometers and LED headlights can interfere with each other. Interference can be reduced by keeping the distance between the LED headlight and the radio speedometer as large as possible, and the shortest possible distance between the transmitter and receiver of the radio speedometer. Disposal: Electronic components must not be handled as household waste but are to be disposed of as hazardous waste.
Liability
In addition to the above-mentioned exclusions of warranty, we do not assume liability for any and all other damage caused by improper handling (e.g. dropping the system, inadequate safety of assembly and its consequences, submersion in water or other liquids etc.). Likewise, warranty is excluded if products are opened. Have fun with your headlight and enjoy safe cycling! Technical modifications reserved.
