6. Charging

RN 1500 Headlight

The RN 1500 is equipped with a USB-C port for fast charging. Connect the included USB-C to USB-A cable to a suitable USB power source. The USB-C port also supports discharging, allowing you to use the RN 1500 as a power bank to charge other devices like your phone or action camera.

SEEMEE 300/200 Taillights

Both SEEMEE 300 and SEEMEE 200 taillights are USB-C rechargeable. Connect them to a USB power source using a USB-C cable. The SEEMEE 300 takes approximately 2 hours for a full charge, while the SEEMEE 200 fully charges within 1.5 hours.

7. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe the lights with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Water Resistance: The RN 1500 is IPX7 waterproof, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The SEEMEE 300/200 are IPX6 waterproof, resistant to heavy rain and splashes. Ensure the USB-C port cover is securely closed to maintain water resistance.
  • Battery Care: For optimal battery life, charge the lights regularly, especially if they will be stored for an extended period. Avoid fully depleting the battery frequently.
  • Storage: Store the lights in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

8. Troubleshooting

  • Light Not Turning On: Ensure the battery is charged. If the light still doesn't turn on, try charging it for a few minutes.
  • Light Not Charging: Check the USB-C cable and power adapter. Ensure they are properly connected and functional. Try a different cable or power source.
  • Reduced Battery Life: This can be normal in colder temperatures. For SEEMEE 200, note that runtime will be significantly reduced when the brake sensor is active. Ensure the light is fully charged before use.
  • Mounting Issues: If the light feels loose, ensure the mount is correctly installed and tightened. For handlebar mounts, verify the correct strap length is used.

9. User Tips

  • Optimize Visibility: For the RN 1500, utilize the anti-glare lens by angling the light slightly downwards to illuminate the road without blinding oncoming traffic.
  • Maximize Taillight Effectiveness: Position your SEEMEE taillight where it has the clearest line of sight to drivers behind you. The 360-degree tracing light of the SEEMEE 200 is particularly effective in urban environments.
  • Battery Management: Regularly check the battery indicator (RN 1500) or quick-press the power button (SEEMEE 200) to monitor charge levels, especially before long rides.
  • Brake Sensor Usage: While the brake sensor on SEEMEE taillights enhances safety, be aware that its continuous activation can reduce battery runtime. Consider disabling it for very long rides if maximum runtime is critical.
  • Power Bank Function: The RN 1500's power bank feature is useful for emergency charging of small devices on the go. Remember that using this feature will reduce the headlight's available runtime.
