  • Lock the battery in place by sliding the lock button until it comes into contact with the pivot (Fig. 5 / Fig. 6).Campagnolo Super Record Groupset 2x12 Speed Mechanical Rim Brakes-FIG6

WARNING!
Failure to secure the battery correctly can cause it to slide out from the rear derailleur due to the vibrations that the bicycle is normally subjected to when used on the road.
The rear derailleur does not have an on switch and as such, it switches on automatically once the battery is inserted.

SWITCHING ON THE REAR DERAILLEUR WITH THE BATTERY INSERTED
The rear derailleur does not have an ignition switch and as such, once the battery is inserted and charged, it turns on automatically when subjected to vibration.

SWITCHING OFF THE REAR DERAILLEUR
The rear derailleur switches off automatically after 30 minutes when it is not used or subjected to vibration.

BEHAVIOUR OF THE REAR DERAILLEUR WHEN SWITCHING ON
A) REAR DERAILLEUR ALREADY COUPLED WITH THE FRONT DERAILLEUR AND ERGOPOWER CONTROLS

The rear derailleur LED lights up blue and flashes quickly when attempting to connect to these:

  • If it connects to all the other components, the blue LED flashes slowly and the rear derailleur works
  • if it only connects to the Ergopower controls and does not connect to the front derailleur, the rear derailleur works but the blue LED continues to flash quickly: turn on the front derailleur too
  • if you connect to the front derailleur but not to the right-hand Ergopower control, the blue LED flashes quickly and the rear derailleur does not work: turn on the right-hand Ergopower control

B) REAR DERAILLEUR NOT PAIRED WITH THE FRONT DERAILLEUR AND ERGOPOWER CONTROLS

The rear derailleur LED lights up with a solid blue color: the rear derailleur needs to be paired with the rest of the components.
Contact a Campagnolo Pro Shop or a mechanic specialized in assembling Campagnolo wireless groupsets.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE REAR DERAILLEUR

WARNING!

Adjusting the rear derailleur while riding may cause hazardous situations and accidents, injury or even death.
We, therefore, urge the utmost attention should you decide to do so.

  1. Position the rear derailleur on the 6th sprocket (the 1st is the smallest sprocket).
  2. Keep the MODE buttons (Fig.7) of the Ergopower controls pressed down at the same time for 5 seconds until the LEDs light up in a solid PINK colour.
  3. Press the MODE button of the right-hand Ergopower control within 1 second. The rear derailleur LED lights up in a solid PINK colour.
  4. To complete the procedure, press the MODE buttons on the Ergopower controls simultaneously and quickly.
    The rear derailleur LED will start to blink slowly in BLUE.

STATE OF CHARGE AND BATTERY LIFE
To view the battery charge status, quickly press the MODE button on the rear derailleur and check how many LEDs light up (Fig.8).

  1. LED on -> between 0 and 25% charge;
  2. LEDs on -> between 25 and 50% charge;
  3. LEDs on -> between 50 and 75% charge;
  4. LEDs on -> between 75 and 100% charge
  • The status of the batteries is also visible on the MyCampy app 3.0 and/or compatible cycle computer.
  • It is advisable to check the state of charge of the battery at each use and to recharge the battery as soon as the charge indication falls below 25-50% (2 LEDs on).
  • The battery life depends on many factors, especially on the type of use and environmental conditions (for example, temperatures close to 0°C lead to higher battery consumption).
  • If the battery power drops below a certain level, the system enters LOW CONSUMPTION mode: in this mode, the gear shifts take place slowly. In this instance, it is advisable to reduce the frequency of gear shifts and position the rear and front derailleurs on an agile ratio.

MYCAMPY APP 3.0
Information about components and customisation functions is available in the MyCampy 3.0 app.
Remove the removable label with the rear derailleur serial number (X – Fig. 8) and apply it to the Quick Guide provided with the rear derailleur, in order to store it.
Download the app from Google Play or the App Store depending on your digital system. Open the MyCampy 3.0 app, and register, if using it for the first time, or logging in, and follow the instructions for coupling the rear derailleur with the app.
The rear derailleur is coupled with the app by entering the serial number of the rear derailleur indicated on the removable label or on the black label on the rear derailleur.

REAR DERAILLEUR RELEASE MECHANISM AND ‘’RIDE BACK HOME’’ FUNCTION

In the case of a fall or accidental impact, the rear derailleur “disengagement” mechanism may activate. In the event that this occurs, the rear derailleur will not go down onto the smaller sprockets, or will not go up onto the larger sprockets.
If it will not go down onto the smallest sprockets, the recommended procedure is as follows:

  • shift down to the smallest sprocket possible,

  • stop pedalling

  • repeatedly move the lower lever, as if you want to move up to the larger sprockets (Fig.9).
    In cases where the levers have been customised, move the lever that performs this function.

  • If it will not go up onto the larger sprockets, the recommended procedure is as follows:

    • Move up onto largest sprocket possible,
    • stop pedalling
    • repeatedly move the upper lever, as if you want to move down onto the smaller sprockets (Fig.9)..
      In cases where the levers have been customized, move the lever that performs this function. If this doesn’t work, re-engage manually.
  • If it is not possible to go down onto the smaller sprockets, hold the upper body of the rear derailleur with your left hand and pull the lower body of the rear derailleur, where there is the battery, towards you (Fig.10).

  • If it is not possible to go up onto the larger sprockets, hold the upper body of the rear derailleur with your left hand and push the lower body of the rear derailleur with your thumb finger in the area indicated in figure 11.

WARNING!
After re-engaging, for safety, also check the rear derailleur hanger alignment and the correct function of the rear derailleur itself.

“RIDE BACK HOME” FUNCTION
In the event that you run out of battery power “on the road” or if you experience a problem with the function of the rear derailleur, you can use the rear derailleur “release” mechanism to position the rear derailleur on the sprocket of your choice.
If you want to move the rear derailleur onto larger sprockets: grip the upper body of the rear
derailleur and push the lower part with your thumb in the area indicated in Fig.11.
If you want to move the rear derailleur onto smaller sprockets: grip the upper body of the rear derailleur and pull the lower part, where there is the battery, towards you (Fig.10).
As you do this, slowly rotate the hand crank to make it easier to move the chain.
Once back home, remember to re-engage the rear derailleur and charge the battery.

USAGE TEMPERATURE
The usage temperature must be between -10 / + 60 °C (14 / 140 °F).

PERIODIC INSPECTION

WARNING!
Always use protective gloves and goggles when working on your bike.

Before each use and after a fall or collision, check that the component does not exhibit any of the following problems:

  • abnormal noise coming from the rear derailleur when shifting
  • by placing the rear derailleur on the largest sprocket, looking at it from the rear, you will notice that the lower part of the jockey cage is too close to the spokes of the wheel, as the drop-out of the rear derailleur is probably bent (Fig. 12).|

WARNING!
Do not try to bend the rear derailleur drop-out to avoid breaking the screw, and do not use the rear derailleur on the larger sprockets as it may come into contact with the spokes, be-come damaged and cause accidents, injury or even death.

  • The jockey cage wheels do not rotate freely
  • Deformations, breaks or cracks in the battery.
    If one or more of these problems are found or in the event of any doubts with regard to the correct operation of the component, contact a specialized mechanic as indicated in Chapter 2, “Information and technical support”.

WARNING!
Campagnolo spare parts must only be installed by qualified mechanicals with specialized skills and tools and adequate experience, following the installation instructions precisely. Installation by unqualified persons may cause malfunctions, accidents and serious or even fatal injury.

MAINTENANCE/LUBRICATION/ CLEANING/STORAGE

  • The duration of the components is variable based on the conditions of use, frequency and quality of maintenance. For a good maintenance of the components it is therefore necessary to repeat frequently cleaning and lubrication, especially in severe conditions of use (e.g. every time after washing the bicycle, after each ride on wet, dusty or muddy roads, etc.).
  • Check Chapter 8 to determine the frequency with which you should have maintenance performed on your components by a specialized mechanic: Period maintenance.
  • Dirt seriously damages the bicycle and its components. Wash, clean and dry your bicycle carefully after use.
  • Caution: to avoid compromising the integrity of the system, wash your bicycle with the rear derailleur and front derailleur batteries installed.
  • Never wash your bicycle using pressurized water. Pressurized water – even from a normal garden hose – may infiltrate the seals and get into your Campagnolo®, components, causing irreparable damage to them. Wash your bicycle and the Campagnolo® components by delicately cleaning with water and neutral soap.
  • Check that any holes present in the bottom bracket shell are not obstructed and let water drain from the frame.

WARNING!
Saline conditions (such as roads in winter and in coastal areas) may cause galvanic corrosion in the majority of the exposed bicycle components. To prevent damage, malfunction and the consequent risk of accident, rinse, clean, dry and relubricate all components subject to corrosion.

Do not expose the products to high temperatures, do not leave them closed in cars parked in the sun, do not store them near radiators or other heat sources, do not store carbon or plastic products in direct sunlight.

PROCEDURE FOR CLEANING AND LUBRICATING THE REAR DERAILLEUR

  • Where dust and mud is present, remove any residue with specially-designed plastic tools; take extra care to clean the rear derailleur wheels to remove oily residues from the chain.
    IMPORTANT: when cleaning the bicycle, only use environmentally-friendly and neutral products without caustic substances which are safe to use for you and for the environment.

  • Dry the component with a soft cloth. Lubricate the rear derailleur pins.

  • Spray anti-rust products into the contacts between the battery and the component and on the contacts for charging the battery.

  • Clean any residues near the contacts.

  • Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

PERIOD OF INACTIVITY AND BATTERY CHARGE
In case of prolonged inactivity of the bike, it is advisable to remove the battery from the front derailleur and recharge it approximately once a month or in any case before the charge drops to 0-25 % (only one LED on).
It is advisable not to store the battery at temperatures above 35° or below 0°

SAFETY INDICATIONS FOR THE BATTERY
