These use and installation instructions are intended for users with knowledge and experience in assembling and installing bicycle components. You need to have the suitable tools. If you do not know how to assemble or install bicycle components or do not have all the necessary tools for the job, you must consult with a bicycle specialist to have the installation done properly. Otherwise, the bicycle rider may fall off and be seriously injured due to improper assembly or installation of the light. Read these use and installation instructions, follow all the steps described and keep them in a safe place.
Safety Information
These use and installation instructions use the following signal words to alert you to potential hazards. The meaning of the signal words is listed below:
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury
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 lights.
Intended use
Busch + Müller offer different types of bicycle lights. Not every bicycle
light can be used for every application and for riding bicycles on every
surface. There are limitations. If you are not sure what type of bicycle light
you have, either call our service hotline at +49 2354 915-7111, send an e-mail
to [email protected] or consult a local specialist
bicycle retailer.
Bicycle lights made by
Busch + Müller are suitable for use on bicycles that are ridden on a firm
surface. Avoid any extreme use, and never ride down stairs or perform jumps,
stunts, tricks, bunny hops or steep descents on rough terrain.
Legal regulations
Before riding your bicycle on public roads, you must learn about and obey all
applicable national, state and local laws and regulations. These may be found
in the Highway Code, DMV Handbook or other sources depending on your state or
location. If you are not sure about the applicable regulations, consult a
local bicycle specialist retailer.
Never cover or conceal bicycle lights. Always make sure the bicycle lights are
correctly adjusted. In general, the prescribed mounting height ranges between
about 16” to 48”. For details consult the Highway Code or DMV Handbook or
inquire with a local bicycle specialist retailer. The prescribed mounting
height ranges between 40 und 120 mm. You will find more details in the Road
Traffic Licensing Regulations. If necessary, contact a local bicycle
specialist retailer. Make sure your lights are positioned and adjusted in a
way to ensure they do not blind oncoming traffic.

General assembly notes
No mounting underneath the handlebar: If the headlight is suspended
underneath the handlebar, the light field is reversed and oncoming traffic
blinded which is a violation of traffic regulations. Also, we do we assume any
liability for possible splash water damage likely to occur when the headlight
is mounted underneath the handlebar.
Avoid falls, accidents and serious injuries. Use only the pre-installed Busch
- Müller bicycle light mounting brackets. Installing a bicycle light on a
bicycle using brackets which are not suitable or are positioned
inappropriately, can lead to the light becoming loose, slipping and getting
caught in the spokes of the wheels
Never install a bracket
on conical fork legs or strut substructure!
Tighten all screws so that the bicycle light cannot move. This is especially important when riding on uneven surfaces. The light has a sufficiently tight seat when headlight range adjustment is difficult to adjust its position.
Never adjust the bicycle light while riding! Severe falls and injuries may
result. Do not ride the bicycle if the beam issued by your bicycle light is
misaligned, or the light is too loose. Only straighten or fasten the bicycle
light when the bicycle is not moving. Dazzling oncoming traffic can cause
accidents. Prior to adjusting the bicycle light, always loosen the bracket
screw. Afterwards, make sure to securely re-tighten the bracket screw again.
Never look into the bicycle light when it is turned on
Height adjustments of the light
To avoid dazzling or startling approaching traffic or other road users, adjust
the bicycle headlight in a way to ensure that, on a completely even road, the
horizontal edge of the light or the furthest area of the light field is always
visible in the distance!
Mounting instructions for Core and Fyre
Ensure to attach the Core and Fyre headlights to the handlebar only.
Place the rubber ring included in the scope of supply around the handlebar.
Insert the locking screw selected to fit the handlebar diameter into the side
of the locking knob selected according to the handlebar diameter and screw it
into the handlebar holder. Place the handlebar holder over the rubber ring
with the locking button facing the saddle. Join the legs of the holder
underneath the handlebar and affix them using the locking screw.
Please note: The locking knob can be used as a short or long version
(simply turn as required)!
Insert the headlight into the headlight holder from the left in the direction
of travel and firmly push it into place until it audibly engages. Be sure to
check that it is securely seated. To remove the headlight, press the release
button on the holder (located to the right of the headlight in the direction
of travel), while firmly holding the headlight and pull it off to the left. We
exclude liability for any damage caused by falling, e.g. because the headlight
was not held tight while it was removed. If the structural situation on the
bicycle only allows the locking button to point away from the cyclist rather
than towards him, use a screwdriver to loosen the holder adapter on the top of
the holder, turn it by 180° and then affix it again. The headlight can be
swivelled vertically and, horizontally by a few degrees. In both cases, the
locking screw of the holder must be loosened.
Vertically: The headlight’s tilting angle is determined by the position of the
handlebar attachment. Horizontally: The headlight can be swivelled infinitely
(to a limited extent) to the left or right on the rubber ring.
Mounting instructions for Eyro
Use the enclosed stainless steel holder from Busch + Müller to securely fasten
the headlight on the bike‘s steering head. Carefully tighten the screws on the
headlight in a way to prevent the headlight from moving in the holder all by
itself.
The headlight can be removed from the holder and reinserted after pushing the
locking mechanism upwards. It can be additionally locked by turning the
circular locking mechanism .
Charging the battery
The headlight comes with an integral lithium-ion-battery that must be charged before first use. To charge, open the rear cover on the headlight, or remove the Eyro headlight from the package. Connect the enclosed USB cable to the Micro-USB socket don the headlight. Connect the USB cable to the enclosed power supply unit, to another standard USB power supply unit (max. 1,000 mA, 5 V) or to a computer. During the charging process, the LED on the switch shines blue. When the LED light is off, the charging process is complete. When charging with an alternative device or computer, the LED on the switch flashes blue. Overcharging is basically impossible as the power supply is automatically switched off. Ensure to charge the battery at temperatures above 0°C only. Charging is also possible when the headlight is switched on.
As a precaution, never leave the headlight unattended during the charging process and place it on a fireproof surface.
Please note : During the charging process, the headlight is not
protected against splash and rain water. The headlight can also be charged
when switched on. We do not assume any liability for damage likely to be
caused by moisture entering the headlight during the charging process.
How to preserve the battery: When not in use over an extended period of time,
store the headlight in a cool and dry environment as well as with approx. 30 –
50 % residual capacity. If the battery is discharged to below 10% capacity and
then fully charged again, the battery recalibrates itself. Occasional
calibration helps to ensure that the remaining lighting capacity is always
displayed as accurately as possible .
Duration of charging
Using the original power pack from Busch + Müller:
Eyro: abt. 5 hrs. /Core: abt. 3.5 hrs. / Fyre: abt. 5 hrs.
Using other USB power packs or USB computer connector: extended charging
times.
We do not accept liability for damage caused by using third-party power supply
units.
Charging the battery while cycling
With E-Werk (Type 361) or USB-Werk (Type 361BW) from Busch + Müller, the
current generated by a hub dynamo can be used to charge the headlight while
cycling.
Operation & display
High-Power: Core abt. 50 Lux / Fyre and Eyro abt. 30 Lux, shines consistently
bright for more than 3 hrs.
Low-Power: Core abt 12 Lux/ Fyre and Eyro abt. 10 Lux, shines consistently
bright for abt. 15 hrs. If the battery charge falls below a certain level, the
High-Power mode automatically switches to Low-Power. In order to protect the
battery against exhaustive discharge, the High-Power mode is then no longer
possible.
On/off switch
Switch on/off: Press for 2 seconds
Switching between the High-Power and Low-Power mode: press briefly
Battery level indicator LED in switch
Blue LED: High-Power light mode
Red LED: Low-Power light mode
In either mode, the indicator LED shows the residual capacity by flashing:
Flashing 5 times – residual capacity: abt. 80-100 %
Flashing 4 times – residual capacity: abt. 60-80 %
Flashing 3 times – residual capacity: abt. 40-60 %
Flashing 2 times – residual capacity: abt. 20-40 %
Flashing 1 time – residual capacity: abt. 0-20 %
continuous flashing – low battery level, please charge the battery.
To check the remaining capacity before these two minutes have elapsed, either
change the mode or switch the headlight off and then on again. When the
capacity falls below a certain level, the headlight automatically switches to
the Low-Power mode (red indicator LED flashes).
Flashing indicator LED: The headlight no longer meets the minimum legal
requirements and must be charged. There is now about one hour left before the
headlight finally switches off.
Depending on the ambient temperature, this period of time can also be longer or shorter, so that the headlight may switch off abruptly at some point. This can result in serious crashes and injuries. Do not cycle if both indicator LEDs in the button are flashing continuously.
Further notes
If the bike is cleaned with water or transported, for example, on a car the
light must be removed.
Disposal: Electronic parts are no regular waste. They have to be disposed
of as special waste!
Please note: The operation of sensitive, radio-controlled odometers
may be impaired by LED headlights.
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 headlight, inadequate safety of mounting and its consequences, submersion in water, opening the rear cover in rain or moist environments etc.). Neither do we assume any liability if the headlamp is opened or dismantled at any point other than the rear cover.
Have fun and enjoy safe cycling with your new headlight!
