Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the tail light with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Charging: Charge the battery regularly, especially if the light will not be used for an extended period, to maintain battery health.
- Storage: Store the tail light in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting brackets and the light itself for any signs of wear or damage.
Troubleshooting
- Light not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn it on.
- Smart Mode not activating: Double-check that Smart Mode is enabled (indicated by a flashing blue light). Ensure the light sensor is not obstructed.
- Brake sensing not working: Ensure the light is securely mounted and stable. Sudden movements or bumps might be interpreted as braking.
- Short battery life: Ensure the light is fully charged. Operating in constant high-brightness modes or extreme cold can reduce battery life.
