| Standby | No light up, maintain Bluetooth connection, easy to switch modes. |
Intelligent Features:
- Intelligent Light Sensitivity: The TL30 automatically lights up in dark environments (e.g., tunnels) and can enter standby mode during the day to save power.
- Brake Highlight Automatic Warning: A built-in high-precision acceleration sensor detects braking and automatically increases light intensity to warn vehicles behind you.
- Automatic Sleep/Wake-up: The device automatically sleeps when stationary and wakes up upon detecting movement, with standby time up to 3000 hours in sleep mode.
- Team Synchronization: For group rides, multiple iGPSPORT TL30 lights can automatically synchronize their flashing frequency within a 50-meter range, enhancing group visibility.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Connect the TL30 to compatible iGPSPORT bike computers (iGS630S, iGS630, BSC300) or the iGPSPORT APP for fast mode switching, intelligent function configuration, and custom mode editing.
4. Maintenance
Charging:
The TL30 features a built-in pure cobalt lithium battery and charges via a magnetic charging cable. Connect the magnetic cable to the light and a USB power source (computer, wall charger, power bank). A full charge typically takes about 1 hour, providing 10-50 hours of runtime depending on the selected mode.
Waterproofing:
The TL30 has an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This ensures reliable operation in rainy conditions and allows for easy cleaning without damage.
After riding in wet conditions or cleaning, ensure the charging port area is dry before charging.
5. Troubleshooting
- Light not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the magnetic charging cable and check if the charging indicator activates.
- Difficulty switching modes: If using the iGPSPORT APP or a bike computer, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both devices and they are properly paired. Check the app for any specific settings or updates.
- Inconsistent intelligent sensing: Ensure the light sensor is clean and unobstructed. In very bright conditions, the light may remain in standby as intended.
- Compatibility with bike computers: The smart light control function is specifically supported by iGS630S, iGS630, and BSC300 models. For other models, check their compatibility specifications or use the iGPSPORT APP.
