Maintenance
Charging:
The XR01 uses a rechargeable battery and is charged via a Type-C port. When the battery is low, connect the light to a power source using the provided Type-C cable. Avoid overcharging by disconnecting once fully charged. Regular charging helps maintain battery health.
Cleaning:
The XR01 is IPX6 waterproof, meaning it is protected against high-pressure water jets. You can clean the light with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the light in water or use harsh chemicals for cleaning.
Storage:
If storing the light for an extended period, ensure it is fully charged and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge every few months to prevent deep discharge.
Troubleshooting
- Light not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. Press and hold the power button for a longer duration (3-5 seconds) to power on.
- Light not charging: Check the Type-C cable and power adapter. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.
- Smart features not working: Ensure the light is securely mounted and not obstructed. For brake sensing, ensure the light is oriented correctly. For auto on/off, ensure there is sufficient vibration to trigger activation.
- Light flickering or dim: The battery might be low. Recharge the device.
