The LARQ Bottle Movement:
Powerful yet lightweight
Patented UV-C LED
The LARQ Bottle Movement contains a 280nm UV-C LED light that
neutralizes up to 99.9999%* of harmful and odor-causing germs. It’s the
world’s first mercury-free portable UV-C water purification technology.
USB rechargeable
The LARQ Bottle Movement is powered by a rechargeable lithium-polymer
battery. One charge lasts up to 1 month** and conveniently recharges via
USB. Convenient, reliable, and simple - why can’t everything be this easy?
Ultra-lightweight stainless steel construction
Lightweight, electropolished 18/8 stainless steel optimizes the efficacy
of the UV-C LED technology. Designed for movement, so it’s light as air
and won’t weigh you down.
Intelligent activation
The LARQ Bottle Movement purifies at a touch and intelligently turns
on automatically every 2 hours. Did you forget to clean again? Your
LARQ Bottle Movement didn’t!

Press and hold the button down for 5 seconds to unlock the bottle for
the first time. A white color light will flash telling you it is unlocked and
ready for purifying action.

Time to power up! Take the cap off your bottle and insert the LARQ MicroUSB
connector into the cap. Then plug the USB into any USB wall charger or laptop
USB socket until the battery is fully charged.
DO NOT charge with any other USB cable other than the USB cable provided
with your LARQ Bottle Movement.

water. Get excited.
Step 1
Fill with clear water* up to the indicator line shown on the bottle illustration.
Step 2
Screw on cap and press the button to get purifying - once for Normal
Mode, twice for Adventure Mode. (Do not interrupt the purification cycle
by removing the cap or pressing the button!)

Steady orange light will turn on when activated outside the bottle.
Safety Mode (Temperature)
Pulsing orange light will flash when liquid is too hot inside the bottle.
Step 3
While you wait, give the bottle a gentle shake or do your best water dance
to spread the purifying UV light evenly. And voila! Enjoy pure water from a
clean bottle. #DrinkBrilliantly

What mode should I use?
Normal Mode
Drinking water from a trusted, potable source? Then press once to activate
Normal Mode (60-second cycle with a breathing sky blue light).
Adventure Mode
Need an extra dose of purification power? Press twice to activate Adventure
Mode (3-minute cycle with a pulsing blue light).
Self-Cleaning Mode
Your LARQ Bottle Movement loves to stay clean. That’s why every 2 hours,
it will intelligently activate Self-Cleaning Mode (10-second cycle with breathing
sky blue light).
Travel Lock
Hopping across the world on your next adventure? Hold down for 5 seconds
to activate the Travel Lock. (Travel Lock disables Self-Cleaning Mode for travel
or storage.)

LARQ: Part of the solution
1% for good
A million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute. Only
7% of those collected were turned into new bottles. Instead, most plastic
bottles end up in landfills or in the ocean.
That’s a statistic that you don’t want to be a part of. LARQ believes
technology and design have the ability to transform our planet for the
better. A portion of proceeds go to our charity partner, 1% for the Planet,
to benefit the environment and bring safe drinking water to billions.

It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with all product instructions and
warnings, including, without limitation, product packaging instructions and warnings,
and the online user manual.

follow all user instructions in the online instruction manual, and always use LARQ™ (or
the “product”) properly in accordance with the instructions and warnings. Please see
our website at livelarq.com for complete instructions, warnings and warranty
information.
Warnings & cautions
Use the LARQ Bottle and Bottle cap according to instructions only. Improper
operation of the LARQ Bottle may cause injury. Please read and understand all
Warnings & Cautions prior to operating this Product. Do not use the LARQ Bottle in
any manner other than instructed on the Product packaging or in the User Manual.
IMPORTANT: This Product is not suitable or intended for use by children. This
Product contains small parts and may otherwise be hazardous to small children,
especially children under 3 years old. Keep Product and any dangerous equipment,
including those using batteries, out of the reach of small children!
Caution: Ultraviolet radiation. Do not look directly at light. Direct Ultraviolet light can
irritate eyes and skin or may otherwise be potentially harmful.
• The LARQ Bottle cap should be used exclusively with the LARQ Bottle. Do not turn
on or operate the LARQ Bottle cap while it is not screwed on to the LARQ Bottle.
• For complete safety and efficacy, you should not attempt use of the UV purification
system with bottles other than the LARQ Bottle. The efficacy of the UV water
purification has only been tested with the LARQ Bottle. LARQ cannot guarantee
the UV’s effectiveness when used with alternative bottle designs that have not
been fully tested or evaluated.
• Never tamper with, open or alter the LARQ Bottle or Bottle cap. If the LARQ or any
component of it malfunctions or fails to perform as expected, stop use immediately.
Do not open or attempt to repair the LARQ or its components.
• The UV-C light is a high voltage device. Do not open, expose, modify or touch
internal circuitry as this can lead to high voltage shock. Removal or tampering with
the electronic circuit board of UV-C light assembly may cause injury or damage to
the user or Product, and will void all warranties.

• To prevent danger or shock hazard, keep and store this Product away from rain or
liquid. Do not use the charger near water: for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, or swimming pool.
• Clean the outside of the Product with a clean, moist cloth. Never use any strong
cleaning sprays or fluids, or similar chemicals on the Product.
• When recharging, only connect the adaptor as described in the Product instructions
or User Manual. Battery recharging should be performed by an adult. Do not charge
with any other USB cable other than the USB cable provided with your LARQ Bottle.
• Do not remove the Bottle cap while a purifying cycle is in progress. If the cap is
removed during a purifying cycle without first canceling, the LARQ Bottle’s
automatic safety protocols will cancel the cycle and turn off the UV-C light to
avoid any harm from contact with UV light to eyes or skin.
• To cancel a purifying cycle, first press the button on top of the cap, then safely
remove the cap.
• Do not use as a light source.
• Do not expose the Product to temperatures below freezing or above 90°F.
• Do not operate the cap in containers such as laboratory beakers.
• The cap’s UV-C light is not intended to disinfect water on the lip or exterior surfaces
of the Bottle where the light does not reach. It is not intended to disinfect outer
surfaces of a drinking container, i.e., those that typically contact the mouth when
drinking. Be certain that the Bottle and cap have been properly cleaned prior to use.
• As with any water treatment system, you should always have a backup method
available.
• Do not allow impact to the UV-C light. If the cap or UV-C light assembly is cracked,
chipped or damaged, do not operate. Contact LARQ customer service or visit
livelarq.com for more information regarding proper disposal, or to return.
• While carefully controlled microbiological testing has been conducted, the use of
the cap’s UV-C light by consumers in the field may produce results that vary from
laboratory test data.
