4. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Knog Plus Front Bike Light, keep it clean by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

5. Troubleshooting
If your Knog Plus Front Bike Light is not functioning as expected, consider the following:
- Light not turning on: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Connect it to a USB-A port for at least 2 hours.
- Light not holding securely: Verify that the silicone strap is correctly fitted and tightened around the mounting surface. Ensure the magnetic connection points on both the light and the mount are clean and free from debris.
- Intermittent operation: This could indicate a low battery. Recharge the light. If the issue persists, ensure the button is being pressed firmly and for the correct duration (long press for on/off, short press for mode change).
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact KNOG customer support or your retailer for further assistance.
