• Plug the cable into a computer or wall adapter.
• When the charge is complete, unplug the Micro charger cable and close the USB port cover.

IMPORTANT: Ensure the USB cover is latched before riding in rain or in wet conditions. If the USB cover is not closed, damage to the light may occur.

Caring for the battery

Store the light at room temperature in a dry place. Avoid moisture, or extreme hot or cold.

Store the light in the charged condition. Avoid ‘deep discharge’. Battery life will decrease if the battery is stored in a fully discharged condition.

Over time, the run time of the battery will diminish. Expect about 500 full charges, depending on care. After a full life, the battery will continue to charge but with a lower run time. When the run time is unsatisfactory, do not open the case of the light or incinerate; please recycle.

Li-ion batteries cannot be shipped by air due to airline regulations. When traveling by air, place the light in your carry-on.
