ing an eBike. Please consult your device-specific
instructions for more information. You, as the eBike
operator, are fully responsible for ensuring that you
pay attention to road conditions and comply with
traffic laws at all times.
uDo not activate push assistance function while
riding on the bike. Only use push assitance func-
tion when pushing the eBike.
Safety Instructions in Conjunction with the
Navigation System
uDo not plan any routes while riding. Make sure
that you come to a complete stop and only input
a new destination while at a standstill. If you do
not concentrate exclusively on the traffic around
you, you risk being involved in an accident.
uDiscontinue following your route if the naviga-
tion system suggests a path for you to take that
may be risky or dangerous for you according to
your capabilities as a rider. Allow the navigation
system to select an alternative route for you in-
stead.
uMake sure to observe all traffic signs regardless
of the route proposed by the navigation system.
The navigation system is unable to take roadworks
or temporary diversions into account.
uDo not use the navigation system in circum-
stances where special attention must be given
to safety, or if it is unclear how to proceed (road
closures, diversions, etc.). Always carry addi-
tional map sources and means of communication.
uThe navigation system instructs you to perform
an unsafe or illegal maneuver. Cancel the naviga-
tion system and choose an alternative route.
uThe navigation system directs you into an un-
safe area. Cancel the navigation system and
choose an alternative route.
uThe navigation system does not direct you to the
nearest emergency facility when needed. Make
an emergency call and inquire as to the quickest
available route.
uThe location of the bicycle is indicated incor-
rectly by the navigation system. Use a secondary
source of information to determine where you are
located currently.
uThe volume of the navigation system prevents
you from hearing surrounding traffic while rid-
ing. Ensure that you are able to perceive sounds
from traffic in the vicinity at all times, so that you
can react to potential dangers appropriately.
Safety Instructions for Charging the On-
Board Computer Battery
uOnly charge the on-board computer with USB
power source (5V, 1500mA max) and USB ca-
ble rated at least 1500mA. Using USB power
source or USB cable not appropriately rated for the
application may result in fire, explosion or personal
injury.
uCharge the on-board computer in temperatures
above +32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and below
+104 degrees F (40 degrees C). Store on-board
computer in locations where temperatures will
not exceed 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). This is
important to prevent serious damage to the battery
in the on-board computer.
uDo not expose on-board computer to fire or ex-
cessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tempera-
ture above 212 °F (100 °C) may cause explosion.
uDo not recharge the on-board computer (via
USB port) in damp or wet environment. Water
entering on-board computer may result in electric
shock or fire.
uNever submerge on-board computer in fluid of
any kind or allow fluid to enter them. Corrosive
or conductive fluid (such as seawater or industrial
chemical or bleach containing products, etc.) can
cause short circuit which may result in fire, per-
sonal injury and property damage.

uBattery leakage may occur under extreme usage
or temperature conditions. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and
could cause chemical burns to tissues. If liquid
comes in contact with skin, wash quickly with soap
and water. If the liquid contacts your eyes, immedi-
ately flush eyes with water for a minimum of
15minutes and seek medical attention.
uPlace on-board computer on flat nonflammable
surfaces and away from flammable materials
when recharging on-board computer using ex-
ternal USB power source. Carpeting and other
heat insulating surfaces block proper air circulation
which may cause overheating of the on-board com-
puter. If smoke or melting of the on-board com-
puter is observed, unplug the external USB power
source immediately and do not use the on-board
computer. Contact customer service immediately.
uBefore each use, check the on-board computer,
cable and plug. If damage is detected, do not use
the on-board computer. Damaged on-board com-
puter, charging cables and plugs increase the risk
of a fire, explosion and personal injury.
uDo not disassemble on-board computer. No user
serviceable part inside. Incorrect reassembly or
damage may result in fire or explosion.
uRead and observe the safety warnings and in-
structions in all operating instructions of the
eBike system and your eBike.
NOTICE: This equipment complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environ-
ment. This equipment should be installed and oper-
ated with minimum distance of 20 cm between the
radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter:
1. This device must not cause harmful interference,
and
2. this device must accept any interference that is re-
ceived, including interference that may cause un-
desired operation.
NOTICE: Changes or modifications made to this
equipment not expressly approved by the Robert
Bosch GmbH may void the FCC authorization to oper-
ate this equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur-
suant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are de-
signed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-
ference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a par-
ticular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following mea-
sures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV tech-
nician for help.
Radiofrequency radiation exposure Information:
The radiated output power of the device is far below
the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Neverthe-
less, the device shall be used in such a manner that
the potential for human contact during normal opera-
tion is minimized.
NOTICE:This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two condi-
tions:
