7. Charging

To charge your Antusi Q3 Smart Bicycle Tail Light:

1. Locate the USB charging port on the device. This is typically covered by a rubber flap to maintain its waterproof rating.
2. Open the rubber flap and connect the provided USB charging cable to the light.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a standard USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, wall adapter, power bank).
4. The light will indicate charging status (e.g., a specific LED color or blinking pattern). Refer to the light's behavior for full charge indication.
5. Once fully charged, disconnect the cable and ensure the rubber flap is securely closed to maintain waterproofing.

A full charge provides approximately 20 hours in bright mode and up to 30 hours in strobe, breathing, or flash modes.

8. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the light with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Waterproofing: Always ensure the USB charging port's rubber flap is securely closed when not charging to maintain the IPX6 waterproof rating.
• Storage: Store the light in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery periodically to prolong its lifespan.
• Battery Care: Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge it before it completely runs out to maintain optimal battery health.

9. Troubleshooting

• Light not turning on:
  • Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a USB power source and check for charging indication.
  • Press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds to ensure it's properly activated.
• Brake sensing not working:
  • Ensure the light is securely mounted and not loose, as movement can affect sensor accuracy.
  • Test the brake sensing by simulating a sudden stop.
• Automatic On/Off not functioning:
  • Verify that the ambient light sensor is not obstructed.
  • Ensure the light is in a mode that supports automatic sensing.
• Charging issues:
  • Check the USB cable for damage and try a different cable or power source.
  • Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.

10. User Tips

• Mounting Compatibility: While the Antusi Q3 comes with versatile mounting options for seatposts and saddle rails, if you require compatibility with specific systems like Garmin mounts, please verify with the manufacturer or seller for additional accessories.
• Visibility: Always ensure your tail light is clearly visible from behind, especially during night rides or in low-light conditions. Adjust the angle if necessary.
• Battery Management: For longer rides, consider carrying a small power bank to recharge your light on the go, or ensure it's fully charged before departure.
