Safety instructions

Read all the safety and general education.
Failure to observe the safety and general instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or severe injury.

Save all safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term eBike battery is used in these instructions to mean all original Bosch eBike rechargeable battery packs from the system generation to the smart system.

• Read and observe the safety warnings and directions contained in all the eBike system operating instructions and in the operating instructions of your eBike.
• Do not attempt to secure the on-board computer or operating unit while riding!
• Do not allow yourself to be distracted by the on-board computer’s display. If you do not focus exclusively on the traffic, you risk being involved in an accident. If you want to make entries in your onboard computer other than switching the assistance level, stop and enter the appropriate data.
• Do not use your smartphone while riding. If you do not focus exclusively on the traffic, you risk being involved in an accident. Only enter the relevant data having stopped first.
• Set the on-board computer brightness so that you can adequately see important information such as speed and warning symbols. Incorrectly set the brightness on the onboard computer may lead to dangerous situations.
• Do not open the on-board computer. Opening the on-board computer may damage it beyond repair and void any warranty claims.
• Do not use the on-board computer as a handle. Lifting the eBike up by the on-board computer can cause irreparable damage to the on-board computer.
• Do not stand your eBike upside down on its saddle and handlebars if the onboard computer or its holder protrudes from the handlebars. This may irreparably damage the on-board computer or the holder. Also, remove the on-board computer before placing the eBike on a wall mount to ensure that the on-board computer does not fall off or become damaged.
• The onboard computer Kiox 500 contains a buzzer. Loud signal tones may sound under certain circumstances. Do not hold the onboard computer close to your ears. The loud sound can damage hearing

Safety information relating to the navigation system

• Do not plan your routes whilst you are cycling. Stop and wait until you are stationary before entering a new destination. If you do not focus exclusively on the traffic, you risk being involved in an accident.
• Abandon your route if the navigation system suggests a path or road that is too ambitious, risky or dangerous for you based on your cycling ability. Have your navigation system propose an alternative route.
• Do not ignore any road signs, even if the navigation system tells you to take a specific route. The navigation system cannot take roadworks or temporary diversions into account.
• Do not use the navigation system in situations that are safety-critical or unclear (road closures, diversions, etc.). Always carry extra maps and means of communication with you.
