EN | 6 About these original operating instructions // Brose Display Allround E41230
3 Intended use
The Brose Drive System is designed as
an e-bike drive system. It consists of
several components.
The components of the Brose Drive
System installed in your e-bike are
especially designed for your e-bike
and may only be used in their original
configuration as intended.
The Brose Display Allround E41230
component described in these operating
instructions is one of them.
The manufacturer’s instructions for
the intended use of the e-bike (e.g.,
use on certain terrain or similar
instructions) must also be followed (see
the manufacturer’s instructions for the
e-bike).
The Brose Display Allround E41230 is
used for displaying information relevant
to cycling and to control the drive unit of
the Brose Drive System.
· The Brose Display Allround E41230
is designed and intended only for use
with a Brose Drive System.
· The Brose Display Allround E41230
can be mounted on the right or left
handlebar of the e-bike.
· Any other use is regarded as improper.
Brose accepts no liability for damage
caused by incorrect or improper
installation or use other than that
intended. Only use the Brose Drive
System as described in this manual. Any
other use is considered improper and
may result in accidents, serious injury
and damage to the drive system.
4 Foreseeable misuse
Foreseeable misuse, especially tuning,
will void the CE marking of your e-bike
(EPAC up to 25km/h) – with all legal
consequences.
Tuning consists of all non-approved
modifications to the Brose Drive System
or e-bike that manipulate performance.
Accidents that can be traced back to
technical manipulation are subject to
high personal liability costs and criminal
prosecution.
Furthermore, any kind of tampering with
the Brose Drive System will void the
warranty and guarantee claims on your
e-bike.
Refrain from the following misuse of
the Brose Display Allround E41230 or
the e-bike equipped with it in order to
prevent hazards:
· Improperly performed repairs and/or
maintenance work;
· Improperly performed cleaning and
care;
· Structural modifications to the
delivery condition of the Brose Drive
System or the e-bike equipped with
it, especially tuning, and any other
manipulation of the Brose Drive
System and its components;
· The opening and modification of
all components of the Brose Drive
System.

5 Residual risks
Certain residual risks unavoidably remain
when using the e-bike - despite a well-
calculated design by the manufacturer
and compliance with the specifications
for intended use by the user.
You can reduce these residual risks
yourself by observing all safety and
warning notices, but you cannot
completely exclude them. It is therefore
vital that you be aware of the existence
of residual risks when using the e-bike.
Unforeseeable residual risks associated
with the use of the e-bike described here
include:
Risk of injury
· Unforeseeable cycling maneuvers
and/or misbehavior of other road
users.
· Surprising or sudden changes in the
road surface conditions, such as
freezing wetness or “black ice”.
· Incalculable material defects or signs
of wear that may cause components
of the e-bike to break or impair their
function.
Risk of fire
· Internal, invisible damage can cause
the battery to catch fire and ignite
objects in the vicinity.
Risk of damage
· When the battery is burning,
hydrofluoric acid escapes with the
flue gas. Hydrofluoric acid is highly
corrosive and permanently damages
surfaces.

15 Switching the Brose Drive System on and off
 INFORMATION
· The Brose Drive System can only be
started up with a sufficiently charged
battery (at least one white charging
bar visible).
· Depending on the battery installed
in your e-bike, it may take a few
moments for the display of the control
unit to turn on.
Activation
· With the e-bike battery inserted, press
the button on the control unit once.
›The Brose Drive System is now
ready for operation.
The drive is activated as soon as
you start pedaling. The motor power
depends on the assistance level set on
the control unit.
As soon as you stop pedaling in normal
mode or as soon as you reach a speed
of 25 km/h, the assistance function of
the e-bike drive is switched off.
The drive is automatically reactivated
as soon as you start pedaling and the
speed is below 25 km/h.
Deactivation
· Press the button on the control unit
for at least 1.5 seconds.
›The system takes about 3 seconds
to turn off completely. You can turn
on the system again only after it has
shut down completely.
The control unit, drive unit and battery
are switched off completely.
Automatic deactivation
If no power is called up from the e-bike
drive for approx. 15 minutes (e.g.
because the e-bike is stationary) and no
button is pressed on the e-bike control
unit, the Brose Drive System switches
off automatically to save energy.
The time after which the control unit
switches off automatically can be
adjusted in the settings (see chap. 24 on
page 26) .
The control and display unit is always
switched on, even if the motor assistance
is deactivated.
Always switch off the Brose Drive
System when you park the e-bike.

EN | 20 Operation and control // Brose Display Allround E41230
16 Selecting the assistance level
Your Brose Drive System has four
assistance levels.
During the ride, the level is displayed to
you as a colored band or as text in the
status bar, depending on the selected
user interface (Fig. 2,page17) .
The characteristics of the respective
assistance mode can be found in table
«Overview of the assistance levels» .
You can set on the control unit how
much the e-bike drive assists you when
pedaling. The assistance level can be
changed at any time, even while cycling.
To increase the assistance level, press
the  button on the control unit
repeatedly until the desired assistance
level appears in the display. To decrease,
