- 'M' Function Key: The 'M' key typically cycles through different display modes or accesses settings. Press briefly to change modes. For advanced settings, a long press might be required, depending on the e-bike system's configuration.
Note: The display may not retain previous settings (e.g., assistance level, light status) after being powered off. You might need to re-adjust these settings each time you power on the device.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your DZ40 display.
- Cleaning: Wipe the display screen and body with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the screen or casing.
- Water Exposure: While the display has an IP65 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets, it is not designed for submersion. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or direct high-pressure water sprays.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the e-bike and display in a dry, temperate environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The recommended storage temperature is -30°C to 80°C.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically check the connection cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Ensure it remains securely plugged into the motor system.
