NiteRider MiNewt.600 Cordless User manual

DISCOVER THE NIGHT
Thank you for choosing the MiNewt Cordless from NiteRider, the
innovator in technical lighting systems. The MiNewt Cordless
combines a self contained, high-powered, white LED headlamp
with a rechargeable, replaceable Lithium Ion battery.
To get the most from your NiteRider light, we urge you to
familiarize yourself with the following safety and operating
instructions.
RIDING AT NIGHT
While a MiNewt Cordless lighting system will improve your view,
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 reective clothing.
•Carry an auxiliary light and emergency supplies.
•Make sure the headlamp & mounting bracket is
securely fastened.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
LOCKING THE HEADLAMP FOR TRANSIT
It is important to lock the headlamp and protect the switch from
being pressed while it is in transit. The headlamp can be easily
turned on if placed in something like a backpack, duffel bag or
suitcase. The headlamp gets hot while in operation. To prevent
potential damage from high heat or even re, it is very important
to put the headlamp in lock mode and protect the switch from
being pressed.
NiteRider will not be held responsible for damages to person
or property resulting from a failure to follow the ‘lock’ mode
instructions.
PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT
Properly charge your battery to maximize its lifespan. (See the
“Battery Charging and Care” section for detailed information)
The MiNewt Cordless will perform in wet weather conditions, but
submerging it in water will damage the system.

OPERATION
1. The MiNewt Cordless headlamp is shipped in lock mode. In order to
use the headlamp it must be unlocked. To unlock the headlamp,
press and hold the power button for several seconds until the power
button turns, or ashes green. Release the power button.
2. The light has 5 modes - low, medium and high beam - daylight ash
mode and walk mode. Press and release the headlamp
power button to turn the light on. Cycle through the three brightness
levels by pressing and releasing the power button.
3. To access the daylight visible ash mode and walk mode, press and
hold the power button for greater than 3 seconds or until the
headlamp begins to ash.
4. With the headlamp in ash mode, press and release the power button to
access walk mode. From walk mode you can return to normal mode by
pressing and releasing the power button.
5. To turn the light off from either normal, ash, or walk mode, press and
hold the power button until the light turns off.
6. It is highly recommended that the light be put in lock mode during
transport of the headlamp in order to prevent accidentally turning on of
the headlamp. To put the headlamp in lock mode, press and hold the
power button for several seconds until the headlamp turns off and the
power button turns or ashes red.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
With approximately 15% battery capacity remaining, the indicator
light on the headlamp will turn from green to red.
RESERVE MODE
Reserve Mode will automatically shift your light to low beam when the
battery is very low and about to cut off. Once reserve mode starts you will
only be able to use Low Beam, Flash Mode and Walking Mode. High Beam
and Medium Beam will be disabled.
BATTERY CHARGING
1. Plug the AC Power Adapter into an electric outlet, then plug the USB
Cable from the AC Power Adapter into the rear of the head lamp. The
headlamp may also be charged from the USB outlet on a computer by
plugging the USB Cable directly from the computer to the headlamp.
2. The indicator light will be red until the Li-Ion battery is fully charged;
then it changes to green.
3. Unplug the AC Adapter from the headlamp and wall socket, grasping
the connectors rather than the cable.
4. Leaving the headlamp and AC Adapter connected indenitely will not
harm the batteries.
5. When storing for an extended period of time, charge the battery every
four weeks to maximize battery life.
MOUNTING THE HEADLAMP
Depending on the size of your bike’s handlebars, you may or
may not use the extra shim included with your MiNewt Cordless.
1. Remove the handlebar mount from the headlamp.
2. Open the mount and place on the handlebar.
3. Tightly squeeze the mount making sure it is securely mounted.
4. Once the handlebar mount is securely mounted, slide the
headlamp into place. There will be an audible “click” when the
headlamp is fully engaged with the handlebar mount.
5. Aim the headlamp by swiveling the headlamp back and forth.
