energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from

How do you distinguish the USB output currents with 1.0A
from the one with 2.1A?
1. The device will automatically recognize the correct current output
on both USB ports
2. The current will be evenly distributed when both USB outputs
are charging your devices at the same time. That means the current
of each output is reduced to 1.0A
3. If charging other devices than the BikeFinder with the
powerbank, use the USB cable supplied with the device you are
about to charge. This is to ensure compatibility
