Setup
1. Mounting the Tail Light
The CY200 offers versatile mounting options:
- Seat Bow Installation: Use the provided bicycle cushion stand to attach the light securely under your bike seat.
- Seatpost Mounting: An optional seatpost holder (not included in all packages) can be used for direct mounting on the seatpost.
Both methods are designed for easy, tool-free installation, though a hexagonal wrench is included for any adjustments.
2. Charging the Battery
The CY200 is equipped with a 600mAh 3.7V rechargeable battery and uses a Type-C charging port.
- Locate the Type-C charging port on the side of the tail light.
- Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the light and a suitable USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter).
- A flashing red light indicates that the device is charging.
- The light will turn green when fully charged. Charging typically takes about 1.5 hours.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
- Power On: Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the light illuminates.
- Power Off: Press and hold the power button again until the light turns off.
2. Lighting Modes
The CY200 offers 20 different lighting combinations. The inner ring light is controlled by single clicks, while the outer ring light is controlled by double-taps.
- Changing Modes: Short press the power button to cycle through the available lighting modes.
- Available Modes: Medium Bright, Low Bright, Running Light, Starlight Flash, Alternate Flash, Slow Flash, Fast Flash, and various combinations with the inner and outer rings.
3. Smart Brake Sensing
The CY200 features a built-in high-precision sensor that detects when you apply brakes. Upon detection, the tail light will automatically enter a high-brightness mode for 5 seconds to alert following traffic, significantly improving safety.
4. Auto Start/Stop Function
The light is equipped with an intelligent auto start/stop function:
- Auto Start: The tail light will automatically turn on when it detects vibration or movement.
- Auto Stop: If the light remains still for 30 seconds, it will automatically shut down to conserve battery.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the light with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Water Resistance: The light is IPX6 waterproof, meaning it is protected against high-pressure water jets. However, it is not designed for submersion. Ensure the Type-C port cover is securely closed to maintain water resistance.
- Battery Care: To prolong battery life, charge the light regularly, even if not in frequent use. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
- Storage: Store the light in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Troubleshooting
- Light not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a Type-C charger and check for the flashing red indicator.
- Light not responding to button presses: The battery might be completely drained. Charge the device for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on again.
- Auto Start/Stop not working: Ensure the light is securely mounted and that there is sufficient movement for the sensor to detect. If mounted on a helmet, minimal head movement might not trigger the sensor, causing it to auto-off. Consider mounting on the seatpost for more consistent movement detection.
- Brake sensing not activating: Ensure the light is mounted correctly and firmly. Sudden deceleration is required to trigger the brake sensor.
User Tips
- For optimal performance of the auto start/stop and brake sensing features, mount the light on a part of the bicycle that experiences clear movement and deceleration, such as the seatpost.
- If using the light on a helmet, be aware that the auto-off feature might activate if head movements are too subtle to register as continuous motion. In such cases, you may need to manually reactivate the light or choose a continuous mode if available.
- Regularly check the battery level, especially before long rides, to ensure continuous visibility.
