“To See” light system
The lighng system on the Lync is a “To See”
system, intended to work as a head light
in low-visibility situaons. The high-output
LEDs (Light Eming Diodes) provide a bright
550 lumens headlight in a focused paern to
illuminate the road ahead. The taillights (two)
are 3 lumens each.
This type of light meets lighng requirements
in most areas. Check with local authories for
the requirements in your area.
The other type of light system, “To Be Seen”
lights, provide a wide beam in a dispersed
paern so that the light is visible from a wider
angle. For best results, use both types of lights.
WARNING: A bicycle without
correct lights and reflectors might be
dicult for other people to see, and
you might not be able to see. If you
cannot see, or other people cannot see
you, you could have an accident. Make
sure your lights operate correctly
and that batteries are charged.

Parts of the System
Explanaon of the system
The Lync lighng system uses a rechargeable
Lithium Ion baery to power a headlight and
two taillights. Each light uses a high-output
LED (Light-Eming Diode) with a specially-
engineered reector. This combinaon creates
a light that is visible from a wide angle.
Tools needed
The Lync includes a micro-USB cable for
recharging the baery. You will need a
2mm hex wrench to adjust the angle of the
headlight.
Baery pack
The Lync system uses a Lithium Ion baery,
which is housed inside a small case, or baery
pack. The baery pack can easily be removed
from the bike for recharging.

Parts of the system
Specicaons:
• Lithium Ion baery
• 3100mAh 3.7V
Noce: Avoid mishandling of the baery pack.
These acons or others can cause damage to
or permanently disable the baery pack:
• Recharging the baery when hot, such as when
sing in direct sunlight
• Cleaning the baery pack with a high-pressure
washer
• Dropping or impacng the baery pack
• Immersing the baery pack in water
• Opening or puncturing the baery pack
• Short-circuing the terminals
With a full charge, the baery should power
the Lync light system for about two hours
forty minutes at full power, or ve hours at
low power. This me will vary according to
baery condion, temperature, and other
environmental factors. When the baery
charge is at 10% or lower, a red indicator light
will ash on the upper poron of the baery
pack. The indicator light stops ashing if the
baery pack is removed from the bike.
Traveling with Lithium Ion baeries
With a Lithium Ion baery, certain restricons
on travel apply. If the terminals are shorted on
a Lithium Ion baery, it can cause the baery
to overheat and possibly cause a re. For
this reason, airlines do not allow Lithium Ion
baeries in checked baggage; you must put
Lithium Ion baeries in your carry-on. Always
check with the carrier before traveling with
Lithium Ion baeries.
Extending the baery life
The Lync system baery is a long-life system.
The expected life of the baery is 300 to 400
charges. To extend the baery life, store it in
a mostly-charged (not fully-charged) condion
at room temperature, and avoid extreme
temperatures when recharging.
Storing the baery pack
When not using the baery pack for long

Lync system (Figure 1): baery pack, dock,

periods of me such as a week or more, store
it at room temperature in a dry place. Avoid
moisture, or extreme hot or cold.
Store the baery pack in the charged condion.
Baery life will decrease if the baery pack is
stored in a fully-discharged condion.
To remove the baery pack
1. Push and hold the latch (Figure 2) while you slide
the baery pack along the down tube (Figure 3)
about 5mm (1/8“).
2. Li the baery pack away from the dock (Figure 4).
To install the baery pack
1. Make sure the baery pack and dock are clean.
If required, wipe the contacts with a damp cloth,
ngerp, or pencil eraser.
2. Place the baery pack at on the dock in posion
for installaon (Figure 3) so that the hooks (Figure

3. Slide the baery pack along the dock unl the
latch locks the baery pack into place.
You should hear a ‘click’ when the latch engages.
The red indicator light on the baery will
illuminate for about three seconds, and the front
and taillights will ash momentarily.
Recycling
The baery will eventually lose
strength. When the charge no
longer lasts as long as it should,
purchase a new baery pack
from your dealer. When you do,
please recycle the old baery
pack. In the U.S. go to
hp://www.call2recycle.org/
Outside the U.S., ask your dealer
for the locaon of a recycling center.
Dock
The dock is located on the down tube of the bike
frame, near the crankset (Figure 5). When the
baery pack is removed from the bike, use the
dock cover to protect the electrical contacts of
the dock (Figure 6).
If the baery pack (Figure 2) is on your bike, the
dock is underneath the baery pack.

Wires
The wires run inside the frame. On any
electrical system, the integrity of the wires
and connecons are crical for the system to
funcon. The connecons on the Lync system
are a high-quality, posive-engagement type
and resistant to water.
Avoid contaminang the wires or connecons
with excessive moisture (such as immersion or
power washing the bike), which can lead to a
short circuit that could cause the lights on the
Lync to malfuncon.
FIGURE 8
Control panel with buons
for headlight and taillights
Control panel
The control panel is located under the top tube
of the frame, near the head tube (Figure 8). It
has two buons; the front buon is for the
headlight, the rear buon is for the taillights.
They control the light funcons.
Lights
The headlight of the Lync system is in the
head tube (Figure 7). It can be switched to O,
High, or Low. There are two taillights: one in
each of the rear dropouts. The taillights can
be switched to On, Flash, or O.
The Lync system lights are maintenance free;
because they use LEDs, there are no bulbs to
burn out. If your lights do not work (but your
baery pack is charged and connected), take
your bicycle to your dealer for service.
The headlight on the Lync is a “To See”
system, intended to illuminate the road ahead
of you. This system provides light in a focused
beam. It does not provide the wide, dispersed
beam of a ‘to be seen’ light. For any amount
of night riding, you should add a ‘to be seen’
light to your bicycle.
The angle of the headlight can be adjusted
with a 2mm hex wrench. The adjusng screw
is located just above the light (Figure 7) and
accessible through the cover. Do not turn
the screw past the stop; overghtening can
damage the bracket.

CAUTION: If left On for an
extended period of time, especially if
the bike is stationary, the headlight
may be hot.

To recharge the baery
1. Remove the baery from the dock.
2. Plug your computer to a power source.
3. Connect the baery pack to the computer with
the supplied micro-USB cord. To access the port
on the baery pack, li the cover (Figure 11).
Alternately, connect the baery pack to a wall
charger with the micro-USB cord.
Note: There is no data exchanged with the
computer.
Time required
With a completely empty baery, it takes
about 6 hours to achieve a full charge.
When using a USB hub, charging may be slow.
In that case, connect the USB cable directly
to a computer’s USB port or use a USB wall
charger.
Indicator lights while charging
While charging, the baery pack indicator
light is red. When the baery pack has a full
charge, the indicator light changes to green.
Riding with the Lync
This secon explains the very easy operaon
of the Lync lighng system.
Switching the lights o, on, and
ashing
The control panel has two buons; the front
buon is for the headlight, the rear buon
is for the taillights. They control the light
funcons. To switch to On or change the
mode, push a buon. To switch to O, hold
the buon:
• Front: High, Low, and O
• Rear: On, Flash, and O
If you choose to use the control panel while
riding, be careful to maintain control of the
bike while your hand is o the handlebar.
Baery pack indicator light
When the baery charge is at 10% or lower,
the indicator light on the baery pack (Figure
9) will show red. In addion, the headlight
will start a slow-blink paern and the taillights
will ash.
FIGURE 10
Micro-USB cable
CAUTION: During charging, the
battery can get hot, reaching a
temperature of 40°C/104°F.

Recharging the baery
This secon explains about recharging the
baery on the Lync system.
For best results, recharge the baery at
room temperature. Recharging the baery
at extremes of temperature can result in less
than a full charge. Also avoid moisture when
recharging. It is best to do so inside your
home or oce.
