NOTE!
U
Also observe the notes on the respective labels on the rechargeable battery
or on the charger.
For more information on the proper handling of the rechargeable battery see the
system instructions of your drive manufacturer on this BERGAMONT info CD.
LIGHTING OF YOUR BERGAMONT BIKE
For riding on public roads a functioning lighting set is obligatory (see the chap-
ter “Legal requirements for riding on public roads”).
BATTERY-OPERATED OR RECHARGEABLE-BATTERY-OPERATED
LIGHTING
The regulations on the use of battery or rechargeable battery-operated front
lamps (d) and rear lights are different in each country. Familiarize yourself with
the relevant country-specific regulations and comply with the road traffic regu-
lations in your country.
Ask your BERGAMONT dealer for suitable battery-operated or rechargea-
ble-battery-operated lightings.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on public
roads”.
SPECIAL CASE – PEDELECS
In some countries it is allowed for BERGAMONT pedelecs to feed the lighting
(e+f) from the battery. Even if the motor no longer works, because the battery
is empty, the residual current will do for the lighting. Without battery, however,
you must not ride.
CAUTION!
S
Make sure not to discharge your rechargeable battery completely (also
referred to as depth discharge). This can occur, when the battery has run
out completely and the BERGAMONT pedelec was left standing for some days.
Depth discharge will affect the rechargeable battery of your BERGAMONT
pedelec permanently. A deep-discharged battery can only be recharged in ex-
ceptional cases and with special chargers. Contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
CAUTION!
S
If the rechargeable battery or the charger (or parts of it) must be replaced,
only use original spare parts. Contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
CAUTION!
S
Charge the battery at an ambient temperature of approx. 20 degrees Celsi-
us. Therefore, before starting the charging, wait until the temperature of the
battery has increased or decreased after a ride in cold or hot weather.
CAUTION!
S
Do not dispose of your rechargeable battery in the normal household rub-
bish (a)! It must be disposed of according to battery disposal regulations.
Therefore, sellers of new rechargeable batteries must provide collection of old
batteries and appropriate disposal. If you are in doubt or if you have any ques-
tions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
CAUTION!
S
Remove the rechargeable battery from your BERGAMONT pedelec (b),
if you do not use your BERGAMONT pedelec for a longer period of time.
Keep it clean and dry and make sure the battery is charged 50 to 60 % during
storage (c).
CAUTION!
S
Do not charge your battery over a long period of time, if you do not need it.
NOTE!
U
Lithium-ion batteries have no memory effect; they can therefore be
charged at any time without affecting battery life.
