BATTERY CHARGING
1. Plug the AC Power Adapter into an electric outlet,
then plug the cable from the AC Power Adapter into
the Battery.
2. The indicator light will be red until the battery is
fully charged; then it changes to blue.
3. Unplug the AC Adapter from the Battery by grasping
the connectors rather than the cable.
4. Leaving the Battery and AC Adapter connected
indenitely will not harm the batteries.
5. When storing for an extended period of time, charge
battery every three months to maximize battery life.
RIDING AT NIGHT
While a Pro 1800 Race 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 and
battery are securely fastened.
• Always disconnect the battery from the
headlamp when transporting the light system.
PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT
Properly charge your battery to maximize its lifespan (see the
“Battery Charging and Care” section for detailed information).
The Pro 1800 Race will perform in wet weather conditions, but
submerging it in water will damage the system.

Fuel Gauge
The 8-step, LED fuel gauge is located on
top of the headlamp in front of the power
button. When all four LED’s are lit solid
green, the battery is fully charged. As
the battery discharges ⅛ increments of
capacity, the LED’s from right to left, successively go from solid
to blinking green, to out.
With only the nal ⅛ capacity remaining one LED blinks red. At
this time, the headlamp should be turned o and the battery
recharged.

MOUNTING THE HEADLAMP
The Pro Series headlamp can be mounted to the handlebar or
a helmet.
Universal Handlebar Mount
The Universal Handlebar Mount
(UHM) is designed to t on
virtually any handlebar. Included
with the mount is a 2.5 mm Allen
wrench for adjusting the mount.
1. Turn the knob counter-
clockwise, allowing the hinge to
swing open.
2. Place the UHM on the
handlebar on the left side the stem, orienting the rectangular
notch in the slider clip to the rear.
3. Swing the hinge down to make contact with the handlebar.
4. Swing the bolt up, seating the knob into its recess.
5. Turn the knob clockwise to tighten and secure the mount to
the handlebar.
The UHM can be adjusted to accommodate any handlebar
angle. By loosening the 2.5 x 30 mm Allen
screw, you can move the swing arm back and
forth to straighten the headlamp. Tighten the
2.5 x 30 mm screw after the adjustment.
To pivot the headlamp, loosen the 2.5 x 12
mm screw located under the slider clip and
swing arm and rotate the headlamp to the
desired position. Make this adjustment before
tightening the 2.5 x 30 mm screw.
Helmet Mount
1. Unclamp the straps on each side of the helmet mount and
pull them free.
2. Position the plastic mounting plate as close to the centerline
of the helmet as possible, orienting the parallel grooves on
the slider clip to the rear.
3. Feed each strap into and out of two helmet vents, circling
each strap back to the upper edge of the corresponding
clamp.
4. Fasten the straps by inserting them into the clamps and snap
shut.
Inserting the Headlamp into the Handlebar or Helmet Mount
Insert the headlamp into the handlebar or helmet
mount slider clip from the rear forward. Gently
rocking the lamp as you slide it may help. Do
not push the release lever when inserting
the headlamp into the slider clip; let the
lamp snap into place by itself.
To remove the headlamp, push the release lever forward and
slide the lamp backward.
Note: After mounting the headlamp, adjust it so the beam
illuminates the road properly without distracting oncoming riders.
MOUNTING THE BATTERY SYSTEM
Warning: For safety reasons, a cyclist should never be tethered
to the bike. If the headlamp is mounted to the helmet, do not
mount the battery to the frame. Conversely, if the
headlamp is mounted to the handlebar, do not place the battery
in a pocket or pack.
Frame Mount
1. Thread the Velcro straps through the 2 slots on the bottom of
the battery tray.
2. Attach the concave surface of the tray to a safe, convenient
location on the frame (typically under the top or down tube),
placing the Velcro strap over the tube, but under any shift or
brake cables. The cable from the tray should extend toward
the stem.
3. Secure the headlamp and battery cable to the frame
using the thin Velcro strapettes. Make sure the cables do not
interfere with any moving parts.
Pocket or Pack
1. Route the 36” extension cable through a helmet vent or
along the outside of the helmet using the thin Velcro
strapette to secure the cable.
2. Connect the 36” extension cable to the battery, making sure
the cable does not interfere with any moving parts.
3. Simply place the battery in a pocket or pack.
