4.2. Electrical Connection

3. Ensure all connections are secure and protected from moisture.

5. Operating Instructions

The AXA Blueline LED Rear Light operates automatically when connected to a functioning dynamo system. As you cycle, the dynamo generates power, illuminating the rear light.

• Automatic Activation: The light will turn on as soon as the bicycle begins to move and the dynamo generates sufficient power.
• Stand Light Function: Many AXA dynamo lights include a 'stand light' feature, which keeps the light illuminated for a few minutes after you stop cycling, providing continued safety at traffic stops or when stationary. This light is equipped with such a function.

6. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your AXA Blueline LED Rear Light, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the light's lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic.
• Connection Check: Periodically inspect the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure they remain securely attached to the dynamo system.
• Mounting Security: Regularly check that the light is still firmly mounted to the luggage carrier. Tighten screws if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

If your AXA Blueline LED Rear Light is not functioning as expected, consider the following:

• Light Not Illuminating:
  • Check the electrical connections to the dynamo for looseness or damage.
  • Ensure your dynamo is functioning correctly (e.g., check the front light if applicable).
  • Inspect the wiring for any cuts or breaks.
• Dim Light:
  • Clean the light lens to remove dirt or grime.
  • Verify that the dynamo is generating sufficient power.
• Intermittent Operation:
  • Check for loose wiring connections or intermittent contact with the dynamo.
