Giant RECON E HL 600 E-Bike Front Light

⚠️ WARNING

• Do not look directly into the light beam or shine it directly into the eyes of other people.
• Do not touch the light case or LED when the light is on, as they can become very hot.
• Keep the light out of reach of children.
• RECON E HL LED lights have a water resistance rating of IPX6 under regular daily use and are not designed to be submerged in water. Submerging them will damage the light and void the warranty.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the light; doing so will void the warranty.
• Direct the light beam downward to avoid blinding oncoming pedestrians or drivers.
• Do not use high mode on public roads.
• Before your ride, ensure the light is firmly mounted, functions correctly, and is not blocked by baggage.
• Carry a spare light in case of unexpected shutoff or battery issues.
• If the light, case, or accessories become dirty, clean them with a soft cloth moistened with mild soap. Never use alcohol, benzene, or solvents, as this will cause damage and void the warranty.

Giant Bicycles Inc. does not accept liability for injuries or damages resulting from improper use or installation.

INTRO

To ensure proper use and care of your new RECON E HL LED lights, please read this entire manual before installation and operation.

Traffic laws for bicycle lights vary by country. Ensure compliance with local regulations.

RECON E HL LED lights are controlled via the E-bike system's onboard electronics and are intended only for E-bikes with DC voltage that have their own battery charge indication and control. The E-bike system must also be capable of automatically shutting off the light when the battery reaches critical voltage to prevent deep discharge.

These lights are powered by the E-bike motor and require manual installation. Depending on the E-bike model and battery type, installation may involve partial disassembly of the bike and motor, and additional wiring. Consult the appropriate Giant How-To video for your model or contact the E-bike/motor manufacturer for specific instructions.

NOTE: Incorrect disassembly, installation, or assembly may void your E-bike and/or light warranty. Professional installation by a trained E-bike technician is highly recommended.

ALIGNING THE RECON E HL BEAM

Proper beam alignment ensures glare-free illumination and compliance with road regulations.

Follow these steps:

1. Place the bike 2.5 meters away from a wall and face it towards the wall.
2. Turn on the RECON E HL and set it to high-beam mode.
3. Ensure the light is parallel to the ground.
4. Mark the cut-off line on the wall where the beam ends above and is brighter below.
5. Measure and mark a point 7 cm below the cut-off line.
6. Adjust the RECON E HL so the beam's height matches this new, lower cut-off line.

Diagram Description: The process involves positioning the bike at a specific distance from a wall (2.5m) and marking the light beam's edge. A reference point is made 7cm below this edge, and the light is adjusted to align its beam with this lower mark. This ensures a glare-free beam compliant with German road law, with the beam brighter below the cut-off line.

Note: Ensure the height of the light is between 70-120 cm from the ground.
