5. Operation

5.1 Taillight Power On/Off and Mode Switching

To switch between constant, flashing, and breathing modes, click the button on the taillight. The taillight is equipped with smart sensors for automatic operation.

5.2 Intelligent Brake Sensing

The taillight is equipped with an integrated acceleration sensor. When braking is detected, the light will automatically switch to its highest brightness for 3 seconds to alert others, then return to its normal riding mode.

5.3 Auto Hibernation and Vibration Activation

The taillight features an intelligent vibration sensor:

• If no vibration is detected for 60 seconds in a stationary state, the lights will turn off automatically.
• When vibration is felt (e.g., starting to ride), the taillight will automatically turn on.

5.4 Smart Light Control Logic

The taillight adjusts its behavior based on ambient light and movement:

• Brake Warning: Day/Night + Riding + Brake = Brake Tail Light on for 3 seconds at maximum brightness.
• Auto Hibernate (Night/Darkness): Night/Darkness + Stop riding = Light turns off after 120 seconds.
• Auto Hibernate (Day): Day + Riding = Tail Light remains off (conserving battery).
• Auto On (Night/Darkness): Night/Darkness + Riding = Tail Light turns on.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

• Saddlebag: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the EVA or polyester fiber material.
• Taillight: Wipe the lens and body with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the Type-C charging port cover is securely closed to maintain water resistance.

6.2 Charging the Taillight

The taillight is equipped with a 400mAh Li-ion battery and charges via a Type-C USB port.

• Use the provided Type-C charging cable. Using other cables may damage the lights.
• Connect the cable to a computer, mobile power bank, or a standard USB socket adapter.
• Charging Status: A red light will blink while charging. A green light will be solid when fully charged.
• A full charge takes approximately 2 hours and provides up to 20 hours of working time.

6.3 Waterproofing

• Both the saddlebag and taillight offer excellent waterproof performance (saddlebag is generally waterproof, taillight is IPX6 rated).
• While designed for rain, avoid prolonged submersion of the taillight in water.
• Ensure zippers on the saddlebag are fully closed to maintain water resistance.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Taillight Not Turning On

• Check Battery: Ensure the taillight is charged. Connect it to a Type-C charger and observe the charging indicator.
• Vibration Sensor: If in auto-hibernation mode, gently tap or move the light to activate the vibration sensor.
• Button Functionality: Press the power button firmly to cycle through modes or turn on.

7.2 Taillight Not Responding to Braking

• Firm Mounting: Ensure the taillight is securely mounted and not loose, as excessive movement can interfere with the acceleration sensor.
• Sensor Calibration: If issues persist, try turning the light off and on again to reset the sensor.

7.3 Saddlebag Feels Loose

• Tighten Straps: Re-adjust and tighten all Velcro straps around the saddle rails and seat post.
• Proper Placement: Ensure the bag is positioned correctly and not interfering with saddle movement or seat post adjustments.

7.4 Water Inside Saddlebag

• Check Zippers: Ensure all zippers are fully closed and sealed.
• Inspect for Damage: Check the bag for any tears or punctures that might compromise its waterproof integrity.

8. User Tips

• The saddlebag is ideal for carrying small essentials like tools, snacks, a phone, or keys. The 1.5L model can comfortably fit items such as two butyl tubes, an electric inflator, and a multi-tool.
• While the bag may appear larger in photos, verify the dimensions (1.5L or 2.5L) to ensure it meets your storage needs.
• The self-adhesive Velcro straps can be trimmed if they are too long for your bike's setup.
• Always ensure the taillight's Type-C charging port cover is sealed to maintain its IPX6 water resistance, especially before riding in wet conditions.
