6.2 Clock Battery Maintenance

The internal button battery keeps the clock running when the display is powered off. When the display is powered on, the button battery is charged by the external battery. If the display is not used for a long time, the button battery may drain, causing the clock to slow down or stop. To recharge it:

1. Set "Automatic shutdown" to "OFF" (disable power off automatically) in the display settings.
2. Keep the display powered on for 72 hours.

A fully charged button battery can keep the clock running for at least 3 months without external power.

7. Troubleshooting (Error Codes)

The display shows error codes and a warning icon at the bottom of the screen when the system detects an abnormality. Refer to the table below for common error codes and their solutions:

8. User Tips

• Compatibility Check: Before purchasing or installing, verify that your motor (e.g., Bafang G010) is compatible with the UART protocol and the 5-pin female connector of this display.
• Connector Size: If you have concerns about the connector size (e.g., M6, M7, M8), it is recommended to confirm the exact dimensions or consult with the seller to ensure proper fitment. The display uses a standard 5-pin female connector.
• Password Management: If you enable the start password, make sure to remember it. The default is '1919'. Multiple incorrect attempts will temporarily lock the display.
• App Functionality: For navigation and advanced features, ensure you download and correctly pair the "I-Bike" app. Keep your phone's operating system updated to minimize potential Bluetooth connectivity issues.
