RIDING AT NIGHT
While the MiNewt will improve your control and enjoyment of night riding, please
remember that cycling at night is an inherently dangerous activity. In addition to
using your lighting system properly and riding with extreme caution, NiteRider urges
you to:
• Never ride alone
• Always let someone know where you are going
• Wear a helmet and reflective clothing
• Carry an auxiliary light and emergency supplies
DISCOVER THE NIGHT!
Thank you for choosing the MiNewt™ from NiteRider, the innovator in technical
lighting systems. The MiNewt combines a high-powered white LED headlamp and a
Power Module containing light control, charging and safety circuits as well as
rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries.
To get the most from your NiteRider light, we urge you to familiarize yourself with the
following safety and operating instructions.
PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT
When not in use, always disconnect the headlamp from the power module. To
unplug, grasp the connector, not the cable. Properly charge your batteries to
maximize their lifespan. Be sure to use only the supplied AC Adapter, otherwise
damage to the power module circuitry could occur. The MiNewt will perform in wet
weather conditions, but submerging it in water will damage the system. If you need
a submersible light, NiteRider manufactures industrial-grade dive light systems. For
information, contact NiteRider Dive Lights at 858.268.3850 or visit
www.niteriderdive.com.

MOUNTING THE HEADLAMP
Depending on the size of your bike’s handlebars, use one of the three “O-Ring” style
mounting straps to attach the headlamp/handlebar mount assembly. Follow the
steps below.
1. Loosen the screw holding the mount assembly to the headlamp.
2. Hold the headlamp and twist the mount assembly, exposing the slot.
3. Place the desired O-ring mounting strap into the slot and twist the mount
assembly back in its original position. The mounting strap is now secure.
4. Before tightening the screw, align the headlamp. Place the headlamp/mounting
assembly on the handlebar and change alignment angle by twisting.
5. When properly aligned tighten the screw.
6. Place the headlamp/mounting assembly on the handlebar. Pull/stretch the
mounting strap under the handlebar, towards the back and loop it over and into
the back slot on the mounting assembly. If you have difficulty getting the mounting
strap into the back slot see the TIP below.
TIP: The 2 slots on the mounting assembly are different sizes. The larger slot
opening should face the back of the bike, giving more room for attaching the
mounting strap. The smaller slot opening should face forward, reducing the chance
of dropping the mounting strap.
The MiNewt Dual contains two (2) headlamps. Mount one (1) headlamp, on each
side of the stem, following steps 1 thru 6 above.
MOUNTING THE POWER MODULE
1. Thread the Velcro strap through the slots on the top of the Power Module.
2. Attach the concave surface of the Power Module to a safe, convenient location on
the handlebars, stem or frame, placing the Velcro strap over the mating surface.
OPERATION
1. Connect the headlamp cord to the Power Module.
2. Press and release the headlamp power button to turn the light on. Cycle through
the two brightness levels by pressing and releasing the power button.
3. To access the daylight visible flash mode, press and hold the power button for
greater than 3 seconds.
4. To turn the light off from either normal or flash mode, press and hold the power
button for greater than 1 and less than 3 seconds.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
With approximately 15% battery capacity remaining, the indicator lights on both the
headlamp and Power Module will turn from blue to red.
B A TTERY CHARGING
The smart charging circuitry is housed in the Power Module and will recharge a fully
discharged battery in less than 6 hours.
1. Plug the AC Adapter into the Power Module and then into the wall socket.
2. The Power Module indicator light will be red until the battery pack is fully charged
then it is set to blue.
3. Unplug the AC Adapter from the Power Module and wall socket, grasping the
connectors rather than the cables.
4. Leaving the Power Module and AC Adapter connected indefinitely will not harm
the batteries.
