6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Power On/Off

  • To turn the light ON or OFF, press and hold the power button for approximately 2 seconds.

6.2 Switching Modes

The TL02 features three blinking modes and can operate in either Smart Mode or Manual Mode.

  • To switch between Smart Mode and Manual Mode, double-click the power button. The indicator light will blink when in Smart Mode.

6.3 Smart Mode Functionality

In Smart Mode, the light utilizes its intelligent sensors for optimized operation:

  • Brake Sensing: When braking is detected, the light automatically switches to a highlight mode for 3 seconds to alert rear traffic.
  • Automatic Sleep: If no movement is detected for 3 minutes in low light conditions, the light will enter sleep mode and turn off after 120 seconds to conserve battery.
  • Automatic Wake-up: The light will automatically wake up from sleep mode upon detecting vibration (movement) in low light conditions.
  • Daytime Operation: In bright daylight, the light will not blink in Smart Mode, further conserving battery.
