3. Setup

Mounting the Headlight

1. Attach Handlebar Mount: Secure the hard clamp handlebar mount to your bicycle's handlebars. Ensure it is positioned centrally and tightened firmly. The mount is designed to fit handlebars up to 32mm in diameter. For smaller diameters, use the included rubber spacers for a snug fit. For 32mm handlebars, the rubber spacers may need to be removed for proper fit, but ensure the mount is still secure to prevent slipping.
2. Insert Headlight: Slide the Ranger 1400 headlight onto the mount until it clicks securely into place. The quick-release tab allows for fast removal when needed.
3. Adjust Angle: Adjust the angle of the headlight to ensure optimal illumination of your path without blinding oncoming traffic.

4. Charging the Battery

The Ranger 1400 features a built-in rechargeable battery. It is recommended to fully charge the light before its first use.

• Connect Charger: Plug the micro USB charging cable into the charging port on the light and connect the other end to a USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter).
• Charging Indicator: The light's indicator will show charging status. A full charge typically takes 3 hours and 30 minutes.
• Low Battery Alert: The low battery indicator will alert you when the battery level is critical and a charge is needed.
