Quick Start
Magnetic connectors maintenance
To ease the cable insertion and provide fast release if needed, the Bikef BC1 uses special magnetic
connector sockets.
To ensure a perfectly working system and avoid recharging interruptions during the time due to a lack in
the electrical contact presence between the recharging station sockets and the cables, the magnetic
connectors electrical contacts must be cleaned before use.
During cable plugging into the recharging station socket, it’s highly recommended to remove everything
that can interrupt the electrical contact or can avoid a right mechanical alignment between the two
connectors.
IMPORTANT
➔Please before cleaning the magnetic sockets, unplug the recharging station from the main
line. Remove any material and all the tiny particles using a dry and clean cloth.
➔Please before cleaning cable connectors unplug the cable from the recharging station and
