Setup

Charging the Device

1. Locate the micro USB charging port on the PWR Trail.
2. Connect the included micro USB cable to the light and to a suitable USB power source.
3. The battery indicator lights will illuminate to show charging progress. A full charge takes approximately 3.5 hours.

Mounting the Light

The PWR Trail comes with a side mount and shim, compatible with handlebars from 22.2mm to 38.1mm diameter.

1. Choose your desired mounting position: on top or below handlebars, or directly under a Garmin device.
2. Securely attach the side mount to your handlebar using the appropriate shim for a snug fit.
3. Slide the PWR Trail light onto the mount until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is firmly seated to prevent accidental detachment during use.

Operating Instructions

Turning On/Off and Mode Selection

The PWR Trail uses a simple twist-head operation:

• To turn the light on, twist the lighthead clockwise.
• To cycle through the 6 pre-programmed light modes, continue twisting the lighthead clockwise.
• To turn the light off, twist the lighthead counter-clockwise until it clicks off.

Checking Battery Level

To activate the battery indicator, gently tap the bottom of the light. Four built-in LED lights will illuminate:

• 4 lights: Fully charged
• 2 lights: Half charged
• And so on, indicating remaining charge.

Using as a Power Bank

1. Press the red button located on the side of the light to release the lighthead from the PWR Bank.
2. Connect your device (phone, GoPro, etc.) to the USB output port on the PWR Bank using an appropriate charging cable.
3. The PWR Bank will begin charging your device. For example, 1 hour of riding at 1000 lumens can provide approximately 75% charge to an iPhone.

Customizing Light Modes (Modemaker)

The PWR Trail's light modes can be customized using Knog's Modemaker software. Visit the official KNOG website for more information and to download the software. This allows you to control brightness, adjust runtimes, and add new light modes to suit your specific needs.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the light clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the light in a cool, dry place when not in use. For long-term storage, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to prolong its lifespan.
• O-rings: The light uses O-rings to maintain its water resistance. Periodically inspect these for wear and tear. If the light becomes difficult to separate for charging, the O-rings may be very tight; apply gentle, firm pressure to separate the components.
• Charging Port: Keep the micro USB charging port free from dirt and moisture.
