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 cycle through the three blinking modes (e.g., Single Flash, Burst, Breathing Flash), press the power button once while the light is on.
• 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.

7. Charging

The TOWILD TL02 features a built-in USB rechargeable lithium polymer battery.

1. Locate the USB charging port on the device. It is typically covered by a rubber flap to ensure water resistance.
2. Open the rubber flap and connect the provided USB charging cable to the port.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a standard USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter, power bank).
4. The indicator light will show charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
5. Once fully charged, disconnect the cable and securely close the rubber flap to maintain water resistance.

8. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the light with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Water Resistance: The light is IPX7 waterproof, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Ensure the USB port cover is securely closed before exposing to water.
• Storage: Store the light in a cool, dry place when not in use. For long-term storage, charge the battery periodically (every 3-6 months) to prolong its lifespan.
• Battery Care: Avoid fully depleting the battery frequently. Recharge when the battery level is low.
