This manual provides essential information for proper installation, operation, and maintenance.

2. Safety Information

4. Installation

The AXA Slim Steady LED Back Light is designed for rear mounting on bicycle racks or fenders with 80 mm bolt spacing.

4.1 Mounting the Light

2. Position the AXA Slim Steady LED Back Light against the mounting surface, aligning its bolt holes with those on your bicycle.

5. Operation

The AXA Slim Steady LED Back Light operates automatically when connected to a functioning dynamo system.

• Main Light Function: When the bicycle is in motion and the dynamo is generating power, the LED back light will illuminate, providing continuous rear visibility.
• Parking Light Function: The integrated capacitor stores energy while you are riding. When you stop (e.g., at a traffic light), the parking light function activates, keeping the LED illuminated for approximately 4 minutes. This ensures continued visibility even when stationary.

• Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness and ensure the electrical connections are secure.
