Solas 250 Taillight

NITERIDER® INITIATIVE
In 2012, Nightriders’ initiative campaign “Lights 4 Lives” dramatically improved the cycling landscape; sparking awareness for the need to use bike lights for both Day and Nighttime riding. Since then, Daytime Visibility for cycling has been gaining more traction, instilling the idea of added safety for avid cyclists in an age of multi-tasking drivers.

PARTS LIST AND IDENTIFICATION

Please verify the contents of your Solas™ 250 lighting system:
A. Solas™ 250 Taillight
B. Rubber Seat Post Strap Mount
C. USB Charging Cable

MOUNTING THE RUBBER SEAT POST STRAP MOUNT

SEE

The Rubber Seat Post Strap Mount (RSPSM) is designed to fit on to most standard seat posts.

1. Position RSPSM with Mounting Rails facing towards the rear of the bike. Release Tab should be facing downward.
2. While holding mount in position, pull rubber strap out and around seat post, ensuring even tension throughout the length of the strap.
3. Hook rubber strap using the appropriate notch and secure into position.

MOUNTING THE TAILLIGHT ONTO THE RUBBER SEAT POST STRAP MOUNT

SEE

1. With the taillight facing rearward, align Clothing Clip of light to Mounting Rails of RSPSM. Slide light downwards within the rails until tab engages and locks into place.
2. Test for a secure fitment by pushing light upward, ensuring there is no movement and that the Lock Tab has engaged into the Clothing Clip. Do not push the release tab when testing for a secure fitment.
3. To remove taillight from RSPSM, depress Release Tab and slide light upward.
   Note: After mounting the taillight, adjust angle to achieve maximum visibility

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

SEE

When powering off, it will light up blue when battery levels are greater than 20%. When battery levels are below, less than 20%, the Indicator will light up red.

BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE

SEE

1. Plug the USB Charging Cable into the USB port located on the bottom of the light. Then plug the other end into a powered-on computer or directly to a wall outlet using an AC adapter (not included).
2. The LED indicator in the power button will light up red while the battery is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the LED will change to blue.
3. Unplug the AC Adapter from the taillight by grasping the connectors rather than the cable.
4. It is good practice to store your taillight away with a full charge.

For extended periods, charge the taillight every three months to maximize its lifespan.

OPTIMAL VIZ WITH NITERIDER®
While a Solas™ 250 lighting system will improve and increase your overall visibility and enjoyment of riding, please remember that cycling can be an inherently dangerous activity. In addition to using your lighting system properly and riding with extreme caution, Nightrider® urges you to:

• Obey your local traffic laws
• Always let someone know where you are going
• Wear a helmet, highly visible and reflective clothing
• Carry an auxiliary light and emergency supplies
• Make sure the taillight and seat post strap mount are securely fastened
• Fully charge your taillight after use to exercise good battery health

PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT

Properly charge your battery to maximize its lifespan (see the “Battery Charging and Care” section for detailed information).
The Soles™ 250 will perform in wet weather conditions, but submerging it in water will damage the system. To prevent water damage, ensure USB port cover remains tightly sealed while operating your taillight.
