I. Safety Precaution
1. Never look directly into bike light.
2. Avoid directing the light beam into the eyes of another person.
3. Do not place it within children’s reach.
4. Before your trip, please make sure that the light is firmly mounted to the
handlebar, it lights up, and the light is not blocked by baggage.
5. This product is waterproof under normal daily use and can be used in the
rain. However, do not intentionally submerge it in water.
Failure to follow these cations may expose you to risks, can cause
damage to the light system and will void the warranty !
A lighting system can make riding safer and you more visible, but lights are no
substitute for common sense. Ride within your capability with consideration for the
riding environment.

2002/96/EC and may not be disposed as unsorted municipal waste!
ll. How to mount GT 800 to a Bicycle:
GT 800 comes with mounts for both handlebar and helmet. There is rubber
band to accommodate various sizes of handlebars. When mounting the battery,
locate a place that will keep it and the wires protected from kinking or being
pinched in the event of a crash or in any other situation.
The light system is designed to be mounted on a handlebar or on the enclosed
helmet or head mount. Both mounts will use one of the rubber rings. The battery
may also be mounted using the attached Velcro strap. When mounting the battery,
insure adequate length of cable between the battery and cable so that full freedom
of movement of the mount and does not pull on the battery, light or their
connection or cause the wire to become pinched or stressed. When mounting the
light, run the wire first over then handlebar and provide and extra half wrap of

cable in the even the light is twisted around the handlebar. Excess wire maybe be
wrapped around the handlebar or secured within the Velcro strap.
When using the helmet mount for the light, the battery is designed to be
carried in a jacket pocket or a pack that you are wearing.
CAUTION: Do not connect a helmet mounted light to a bike mounted battery.
Headlamp mount: The headlamp mount may be used for a variety of mounts
with the included long Velcro straps. It is designed in such a way that the light is
easily removed using the rubber ring similar to mounting on the handlebar.
You may find it advantageous to use both a handlebar mounted light and a
head mounted light. The head mount provides the additional safety and flexibility
to point the light quickly in any direction your head points.
Aiming the light: When using any mounted light, insure that the mounting
does not project the beam directly into the eyes of oncoming motorists or cyclists.
III. How to charge GT 800
CAUTION
1. Battery Charger is for use only with the included Li-pol battery pack. Trying to
charge other than the included battery pack may cause batteries to catch fire,
overheat leak or explode. Do not charge the battery with other approved charger
for this model.
2. Do not expose charger to rain or moisture.
3. Although the battery pack may be left on the charger longer than 24 hours
without damaging the battery pack, if the battery is not going to be used for an
extended period, the battery life and capacity will be better preserved by
discharging the battery to approximately half of capacity and then disconnecting
and storing. Every 3 to 4 months connect battery to light and use up the
remaining capacity in the battery and then charge to 50% capacity before
continuing storage.

4. Disconnect the charger when not in use and before connecting or removing
batteries from charger.
5. Do not use charger or battery if, the wires or the batteries or charger have
become damaged.
6. The cable (or other accessories) supplied with the Cycle Torch bike light MUST be
used only to charge the Cycle Torch bike light. The Manufacture or/and the Seller
are not responsible for any damage caused by using the supplied accessories with
other devices, other than Cycle Torch bike lights.
Charging:
1. Plug the battery pack into the charger.
2. Connect the charger to the power outlet.
3. The LED on the charger will glow red when the battery is being charged and turn
to green when the battery is fully charged.
4. When the charger LED turns green, you may unplug the charger and then remove
the battery pack from the charger. Charging a fully depleted battery may take up
to 4 hours.
Tips and tricks:
1. Charge your battery pack immediately after use. Li-ion batteries do not have a
"memory effect" and can be left at full charge, although battery life is extended
if you follow CAUTION step #3 from CAUTION above.
2. Flashing light of the power button shows that a charging error has occurred.
Remove and reinsert the power cable, then begin the recharge process again.
3. The battery charges to about 80% after approximately 3 hours.
4. Charging and lighting times are approximate values, and will vary by
environmental and user conditions.
IV. Switching the lighting modes
Operation Modes: The initial short press of the power button will turn the light on
High mode. Each additional short press of the power button switches the light from one
mode to the next in the following order: (1) High; (2) Medium; (3) Low; (4) Flash

Turning off GT 800: Press and hold the power button for one to three seconds.
A temperature protection circuit will stop the light from overheating, by
stepping the output down if the light is left on full with no airflow around it.
And the brightness will rebound automatically after cooling.
Checking Battery Level: When the light is turned off, press the power button for
3 seconds and release. The light will flash from 1 to 10 times indicating the remaining
battery level (10 flashes indicate - 100% charge, 9 flashes - 90%, 8 flashes –80% …).
Low Battery Level: The power button light will glow red when the battery level
is low and the light will automatically turn off when the battery level is too low. This
system protects the battery from damage, but since it draws a small amount of
current, and can drain the battery beyond the minimum voltage for the battery.
The light must be turned off when the button glows red or within 5 minutes
of it glowing red. Do not wait until the light goes completely out as this will greatly
reduce the number of charge cycles that the battery can be used and can render
the battery unusable.
Charge your bike light each 2-3 months when stored or not in use to prevent
battery degradation.
