WARRANTY CLAIMS PROCESS
All warranty claims must be processed through an author-

Before using your electric bike, it is essential to perform
all the safety checks to ensure the working condition of its
components. You can nd the necessary checklist for the
bike’s mechanical elements in the Rise Carbon Blue Paper
technical manual.
Electrical system checks: Start the bike and check that
the electrical system is working properly. Check that there
is electric assistance and that all components work (motor,
display, assistance change, and speed sensor).
If there is no electrical assistance, check the condition of
all components, cables and connection points between the
components. Cables or components that show damage
must be replaced.
Check for errors in the electrical system. Read the full Rise
Carbon manual for Shimano’s method for checking elec-
trical system errors.
Read the Range Extender Battery Error Codes and Trou-
bleshooting section in this manual in case the RS Range
Extender displays a recognized error.
We recommend that you always go to the dealer where
you purchased your bike or component to le a warranty
claim. In the case of a home delivery purchase, contact
the dealer that you selected during that process. If you
cannot go to the original dealer, you can check the list of
authorized dealers on our website or by contacting Orbea.

06 MAINTENANCE
Regularly check the connections and cables of the com-
ponents on the electric assistance system of your bike.
Connections must be clean and free from foreign objects.
The cables must be in good condition and not show signs
of fraying, cracking, or bending which can cause short cir-
cuits and lack of electrical assistance.
Components’ exteriors, such as remote controls and bat-
teries, must not show damage that would allow the entry
of water and other elements.
If there is any damage to the electrical components, con-
tact your Orbea dealer for diagnosis and/or replacement.
SPARE PARTS
Always use original Orbea RS spare parts.
To check the spare parts available for the Range Extender
battery, refer to the 2021 Rise Carbon Blue Paper techni-
cal manual on the Orbea website.
The installation of non-original spare parts
can cause damage to your bicycle and is not
covered by the warranty conditions.
WARNING: The use of non-original spare
parts can cause damage, resulting in break-
downs and serious accidents.

EN
- Store batteries in a safe place, out of the reach of babies
and pets.
- If the battery is stored at temperatures outside the
recommended range, it may result in re or damage to the
battery.
-Storage temperature range: 0°C~35°C. Avoid large
changes in temperature.
- If you are not going to use the battery for a long period
of time, store it with approximately 70% of the remaining
battery capacity. Charge the battery every 3 months so
that the battery does not drain completely. To avoid cell
deterioration, never let the battery charge level drop below
10%.
- Store the battery or the bicycle with the battery installed
in a cool, dry place (aprox. 0°C~35°C) that is not exposed
to direct sunlight or rain. If the storage temperature is low
or high, the performance of the battery will be reduced
and the capacity per charge could decrease. When not
using the battery for a period of time, be sure to charge it
before use.
- Temperatures above 70ºC can cause leaks and become a
re hazard.
7.2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY
STORAGE
The temperature ranges indicated in this manual reect
the maximum limits for use, charge, and storage provided
by the cell manufacturer.
In general, the use, charge, and storage of batteries
in temperatures below 0ºC will reduce the capacity
per charge, and doing so continuously can affect the
lifespan of the battery.
- Battery operating temperature ranges are detailed below.
Do not use the battery in temperatures outside these
ranges.
- If the battery is used at temperatures outside these
ranges, it could cause re, injury, or damage to the battery
itself.
- Use (discharge) the battery only within the discharge
temperature range: –10°C~50°C.
- Charge the battery only within the charging temper-
ature range: 0°C~40°C.
- The battery should be charged at room temperature, on
a dry, non-ammable surface, away from any source of
heat, moisture, or ammable materials.
- If the battery has been charged in a low temperature
environment (0°C or less), the available capacity per full
charge will be reduced.
- Avoid discharging the battery by continuously using it
below a 10% charge. Charge levels below 10% can affect
cell life and charge balancing.
- Avoid bumping or dropping the internal battery and the
Range Extender.
- If a blow or impact to the external battery casing shows
damage, do not charge or use the battery. Contact an
authorized dealer for diagnosis.
- Always ensure cable connections are in the correct
orientation. Connecting the cables without observing the
correct orientation can damage the terminals.
- Use only the specic RS charger and follow the specied
charging directions when charging the battery. Failure
to do so may cause the battery to overheat, explode, or
ignite.
