Setup

Mounting the Light

The AXA PICO 30 is designed for handlebar mounting. Ensure the light is securely fastened and positioned to provide optimal forward illumination without obstructing your view or controls.

1. Identify a suitable mounting location on your bicycle's handlebar or front fork, ensuring clear visibility and proper light beam direction.
2. Attach the light using the provided bracket and hardware. Tighten all fasteners securely to prevent movement during riding.
3. Adjust the angle of the light to illuminate the path ahead effectively, typically aiming slightly downwards to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.

Electrical Connection

This light is designed for hub dynamo systems and operates with a continuous voltage range of 6V-42V. Proper wiring is crucial for functionality and safety.

• Connect the light's power cables to your bicycle's hub dynamo output. Refer to your dynamo's manual for specific wiring instructions.
• Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits or water ingress.
• Verify the polarity if specified by your dynamo or light, though most modern dynamo lights are tolerant of polarity.

Operating Instructions

Automatic Operation

The "Auto" feature of the AXA PICO 30 utilizes a light sensor to automatically switch the light on or off based on ambient light conditions. This ensures visibility when needed without manual intervention.

• To activate automatic mode, ensure the light is connected to the dynamo and the bicycle is in motion. The light will detect low light conditions (e.g., dusk, tunnels) and activate automatically.
• The light will switch off automatically when sufficient ambient light is detected.

Steady Function

The "Steady" function provides a standlight feature, keeping the light illuminated for a short period after the bicycle stops. This enhances safety during brief stops at intersections or traffic lights.

• The Steady function is integrated into the light's design and activates automatically when the bicycle comes to a stop after being in motion.
• The light will remain illuminated for several minutes, providing continued visibility.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your AXA PICO 30 light.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens.
• Connections: Occasionally check electrical connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure they remain secure and dry.
• Mounting: Verify that the light remains securely mounted and does not wobble. Tighten mounting bolts if necessary.
• Water Resistance: The light has an International Protection Rating of IP42, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and against dripping water when tilted up to 15 degrees. While designed for outdoor use, avoid submerging the light in water or exposing it to high-pressure water jets.
