Safety Notes
General Safety Rules
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “battery pack” used in these operating instructions, irrespective
of model, refers both to standard battery packs (battery packs with holder
on the bike frame) and to rack-type battery packs (battery packs with
holder in the rear rack/carrier).
Make sure to not be distracted by the display of the on-board
computer. If you do not focus exclusively on the traffic, you risk being
involved in an accident. If you want to make entries in your on-board
computer other than switching the assistance level, stop and enter the
appropriate data.
Before beginning any exercise program, seek advice from a doctor
about which pressure you can place yourself under. This is the only
way to avoid potential overloading.
When using a heart rate monitor the heart rate displayed may be
distorted by electromagnetic interference. The heart rates displayed
are for reference only. No liability can be accepted for consequences
caused by incorrectly displayed heart rates.

English–6

Safety Warnings for eBikes
Do not open the drive unit yourself. The drive unit must be repaired
only by qualified experts and only with original spare parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the drive unit is maintained. Unauthorised
opening of the drive unit will void warranty claims.
Do not open Nyon. Opening Nyon can destroy it and void any warranty
claims.
All components mounted to the drive unit and all other components
of the eBike drive (e.g., the chainwheel, chainwheel seat, pedals)
may be replaced only with identical components or components
specifically approved for your eBike by the bicycle manufacturer.
This protects the drive unit against overload and damage.
Remove the battery pack from the eBike before beginning work
(e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, maintenance, work on the chain,
etc.) on the eBike, transporting it by car or plane, or storing it.
Unintentional activation of the eBike system poses a risk of injury.
The eBike system can switch itself on when the eBike is pushed
backwards.
The push/start aid feature may only be used when pushing or start-
ing the eBike. There is danger of injury if the wheels of the eBike do not
have ground contact while using the push/start aid feature.
Use only original Bosch battery packs approved for your eBike by
the manufacturer. Using other battery packs can lead to injuries and
pose a fire hazard. When using other battery packs, Bosch shall not
assume any liability and warranty.
Do not make any modifications to your eBike system or fit any other
products which would be suitable for increasing the performance
of your eBike system. This normally reduces the lifetime of the system
and risks damage to the drive unit and the bike. There is also a risk of
losing the guarantee and warranty claims on the bike you have pur-
chased. By handling the system improperly you are also endangering
your safety and that of other road users, thus running the risk of high
personal liability costs and possibly even criminal prosecution in the
event of accidents attributable to manipulation.

English–7
Bosch eBike Systems 1 270 020 Wen | (13.5.16)
Please observe all national regulations on registering and using
eBikes.
Do not use the on-board computer as a handle. Lifting the eBike up by
the on-board computer can cause irreparable damage to the on-board
computer.
Nyon is not a medical product. The values displayed in the “Fitness”
operating mode may differ from the actual values.
Use the Nyon on-board computer only with the associated operat-
ing unit, which has its own joystick. The joystick on the operating unit
has the same range of functions as the joystick on the on-board com-
puter itself.
Read and observe the safety warnings and instructions in all
operating instructions of the eBike system and in the operating
instructions of your eBike.
Safety information relating to the navigation system
Do not plan your routes whilst you are cycling. Stop and wait until
you are stationary before entering a new destination. If you do not
focus exclusively on the traffic, you risk being involved in an accident.
Abandon your route if the navigation system suggests a path or
road which is too ambitious, risky or dangerous for you based on
your cycling ability. Have your navigation system propose an alter-
native route.
Do not ignore any road signs, even if the navigation system tells you
to take a specific route. The navigation system cannot take roadworks
or temporary diversions into account.
Do not use the navigation system in situations which are safety-
critical or unclear (road closures, diversions, etc.). Always carry
extra maps and means of communication with you.
