CAUTION
Carrying the ReeCharge
The ReeCharge contains delicate components.
Do not bend, drop, or crush ReeCharge units.
Using connector ports
Never force a connector into a port. Make sure
that the connector matches the port and that
you have positioned the connector correctly in
relation to the port.
Keep the ReeCharge within acceptable
temperatures
Battery life might be affected by extreme
temperature conditions. Always keep the
ReeCharge between -20°C and 45°C. Avoid re
and high heat conditions.
Charging the ReeCharge
Connect the ReeCharge to the bicycle dynamo
hub using only a compatible cable with a power
regulator. Do not connect the ReeCharge
with a regular wire to the dynamo hub.
Standard 6V/ 2.4W or 6V/ 3.0W dynamo hubs

to the ReeCharge.
Biologic™ReeCharge

The ReeCharge can be charged using a USB
port.
When charging the ReeCharge with alternative
power sources, use only 5V DC output
charging devices rated at less than 1A. The
ReeCharge and its adaptor may become warm
during normal use. Always allow adequate
ventilation around the ReeCharge.
Please read the safety instructions for all
products and accessories before using them
with the ReeCharge. MINIWIZ and Dahon are
not responsible for the operation of third party
accessories or their compliance with safety and
regulatory standards.
Avoid submerging in water
Do not submerge the ReeCharge in water.
The ReeCharge is weatherproof, but not water
resistant. Do not attempt to dry the ReeCharge
device with an external heat source such as a
hair dryer, radiator, or oven.
Charge safely while cycling
Do not attempt to operate the buttons or
connectors of the ReeCharge while cycling.
Do not charge the ReeCharge when using a
light that is connected to the same dynamo
hub. When using the light and charging the
ReeCharge simultaneously, the power from the
dynamo hub is split between the two devices,
which lowers the brightness of the light, which
can compromise safety at night.

Choking hazard
The ReeCharge contains small parts, which
may present a choking hazard to small children.
Keep the ReeCharge and its accessories away
from small children.
Do not throw in trash
The built-in lithium-ion battery can be recycled.
Please dispose of the battery at the nearest
recycling location in your area.
Notice
Dahon and MINIWIZ are not responsible for any
failures the ReeCharge might cause to devices
charged with the unit.
