Safety instructions

Warning! Avoid looking directly into the light emitted by the light or shining the light into your own eyes or the eyes of another person. If the light accidentally shines into your eyes, close your eyes and move your head out of the light beam. Do not use any strongly focusing optical device to look at the light beam. In cases where the light is used in a public or commercial setting, users should be provided with training concerning the safety measures for laser light. This device may then be used by children 8 years of age or older, persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, as well as persons with no previous experience in handling such devices, if they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety .

Attention! Risk group 2: Proven optical radiation! Do not look into the lamp for a long time during operation. May be harmful to the eyes. Danger of glare: The strong glare of the lamp can be temporary Eyesight and afterimages feel dying Irritation, authorizations or treatment commands can.

Re-charge you battery before using the light. Carry a spare light with you at all times, as the product can potentially fail unexpectedly at any time. In the event of any physical or internal battery failure, do not attempt to repair. No user-servicable parts!

Automatic cutoff BLUETOOTH:
If the lamphead is connected to the battery, without switching the light on, the Bluetooth module will automatically deactivate after 2 hours. You now can NOT turn on the light via the Bluetooth remote. Either press the lampheads switch, or reconnect the battery to start the Bluetooth module or light.

Heat generation : The housing of Piko R may heat up; so make sure that you always keep the light at a safe distance to any combustible or flammable materials. Could cause fire or death! However, quiescent operation (without cooling the light housing via airflow or the like) is possible at any time and will not damage the product. When the light is being used in a stationary state, the light will be dimmed after a few minutes to reduce the light’s temperature. Continuous operation at 20 watts is only possible with air flowing over the housing!

Important! Always disconnect the battery from the light at transport or storage!
Otherwise the small amount of power used by the electronics will discharge the battery, and the lamp may be switched on accidentally.

Water resistance : All Piko R components are waterproof and can of course be used under extremely severe conditions. The lamp complies with IP protection class 68 but is NOT a diving lamp and is NOT suitable for use under water.

Operation

Initialization & voltage display:

After connecting the lamp to the battery, the software runs a selftest. The lamp itself as well as the red and blue LEDs in the switch light up once. The battery voltage is indicated by the blue and red LEDs, as follows:

• The blue LED flashes once for each volt; and then
• the red LED flashes once for each 1/10 of a volt.

Example: The LED flashes seven times blue and five times red = battery voltage is 7.5 V.

Interpreting the voltage display:

• more than 8.0 V:  battery is fully charged:
• 7.1 to 7.8 V : battery needs charging
• 6.5 to 7 V :  battery is not ready for use

Turn on:
The first press of the button switches on the light with maximum power. The blue LED is illuminated.

Switching
Each quick push of the button switches through the dim levels.

Turn off:
To turn off the lamp, keep the button pressed.

Note: The light outputs the maximum amount of light only if airflow lowers the temperature of the light sufficiently. If the light is not cooled by airflow, its power is reduced incrementally to prevent the LEDs and electronic elements from overheating.

Meaning of LED colours

The switch on the lamphead as well as the Bluetooth remote are equipped with a RGB-LED to show information about the dim level and the remaining battery capacity.

| blue LED lit:| Lamp is on high beam.
---|---|---
| green LED lit:| Lamp is on a lower beam.
| red LED lit:| 1. Battery Warning, low capacity remaining. The red LED is lighting. You can adjust the timing of the battery warning, see progamming on next page.
| red LED flashing + light flashing once:| 2. Battery Warning, very low capacity remaining. The red LED is flashing and Piko R flashing ones, too.
| blue + red LED flashing in turn + light flashing 5 times:| Warning! The red and blue LED flashing in turn, the lamp flashes 30 times. Stop immediately! The light will be switched off.
| blue + red LED flashing in turn:| After switching the light on again, reserve power at a low beam is available. When reserve power is completely discharged, the light will be switched off automatically. So slow down! Note: The burn time remaining after the red LED is illuminated depends on the total battery capacity, the ambient temperature and the age of the battery

Programming

Light Levels:

By default, the Piko R operates in the 3-step mode, several other light programs are available. They are very easy to select by simply keeping the button pressed until the button’s red or blue LED flashes once, twice, etc. When taking your finger off the button accordingly, the setting will be saved.

Dim Levels and Runtimes

Runtime varies according to battery age, and condition, as well as ambient temperature.

Special functions

Activate diffuse light / SOS:
To activate diffuse light or SOS (depending on the programming), keep the button of the lamphead pressed until it lights up red once, let go immediately. The light setting is activated. You choose and setup the diffuse light or SOS further down in the programming

Programming diffuse light on/off:
The diffuse light level can be activated or deactivated in the respective light program. Example: When it‘s deactivated the default light setting would only light with 20W and 6W.

Stealth:
The LED indications will be reduced to a minimum. For example, there’s no voltage display after connecting the lamphead to the battery

Autostart after power interruption:
When the power is interrupted/disconnected and current flows again, the lamp lights up in the last used light level without having to switch it on manually. Example: If the battery is disconnected from the lamp while it‘s on and the battery is reconnected, it will light in the last used light level.

RVLR: (3-step RVLR)
This mode includes an additional slow flash mode.

Start with lowest beam:
The lamp will not start at maximum power as by default, but at the lowest stage.

Doubleclick:
The lamp may only be switched on with a quick double click. Useful for anybody who wants to avoid that the lamp is switched accidentally in particular during transport (e. g. in a backpack).

Bluetooth Connect:
Connecting remote control:
Keep the lamp’s button depressed until the switch turns up green, let the button go. The receiving mode is active for aprox. 30 seconds. During this time, press the remote control’s green button until the remote does light up green, too. Release the button.

Connecting with app:
Start the „Light Control 2.0“ app. Choose the Piko and keep the button on the lamphead pressed, until it lights up green as shown in the programming scheme (p. 24), let the button go immediately.

Reset
Resets the lamp to default setting without disconnecting the Bluetooth connection to the remote control.

Bluetooth Remote

The Bluetooth Remote comes together with the Peppi V5 barmount (helmet & bikelights) or a bracelet (Headlamps). On the bike, the best way to mount the remote is directly next to your grips so you have full control and don’t need to take off your hands while riding. The bracelet can be attached to a lot of other things like ski poles, too.

Connecting the transmitter to the light:

By default, your lamp has already been connected to the transmitter.

For establishing a connection, the receiving mode in the lamp has to be activated.

Keep the lamp’s button depressed the switch turns up green (after 15 sec) and let the button go. The receiving mode is active for 30 seconds. During this time, press the remote control’s button until the remote does light up green, too.  release the button.

Several lamps on one transmitter:

It is possible to connect up to five lampheads to a single remote switch.’

Several transmitters on one lamp / Unbinding:

Up to 4 transmitters may be connected to one lamp. The transmitters are stored in the lamp in turn. If you like to remove a transmitter from the light, set the light into receiving mode and keep the switch of the transmitter pressed until it turns red. (Aprox. 20 sec.)

Enable/Disable the remotes permanent LED light:

Keep the remote button depressed: The LEDs must turn green then blue again. release the button.

Low battery warning from lamphead:

The remote mirrors the lamphead’s low battery warning.
A fully charged or partly discharged battery will be shown by a red LED light. Details see page 36. There will be no warning if the remotes button cell itself is empty.

Low button cell:

With decreasing voltage, the remotes LEDs will also become weaker, to the point the remote does not work anymore. Also cold temperature does reduce the battery voltage.

Transmitter battery change:

For changing the battery, loosen all 4 screws at the bottom of the transmitter using a T5 star drive key.
Insert the new CR 2032 button cell as shown and close the transmitter again.
Tighten the screws until the sealing is visibly squeezed.
