CHARGING / OPERATION

5

ChargingtheMotoGlo Use the included USB cable to charge the MotoGlo. The center indicator light is RED while charging and will turn GREEN when the MotoGlo is fully charged. (A standard USB to mini USB cable can also be used.)

MotoGloOperation Pairing (only for initial operation) Install the Control Module and fully charge the MotoGlo Helmet

Safety Light. Refer to Power ON/OFF for additional information.

NOTE: If the MotoGlo does not automatically pair with the control module after initial charge, or if pairing a second MotoGlo to the same control module, the following steps are to be used to manually pair the MotoGlo with the control module.

1. With the motorcycle ignition ON, insert the Pairing Key into the mini USB interface on the MotoGlo. (MotoGlo should be fully charged.)

2. The MotoGlo has been successfully paired with the Control Module and activated when the Indicator Light turns BLUE.

3. Remove the Pairing Key and the Indicator Light will turn RED. 4. Store the Pairing Key in a place of safe keeping.

PowerON/OFF The MotoGlo default is automatically in operational mode once

properly paired with the control module. With the motorcycle ignition ON, the MotoGlo will power ON when it detects a slight movement of the helmet and will power OFF a few seconds after the motorcycle ignition is turned OFF.

NOTES: 1. The MotoGlo may also be manually turned OFF in the event the rider does

not want the MotoGlo to operate while the motorcycle is in use, as in situations with a passenger. With the motorcycle ignition ON, make sure the MotoGlo is within range of the control module and operating. Apply and hold the brake and then operate left-right-left turn signals within 3 seconds, and then release the brake. The MotoGlo should now turn OFF.

BrakeLight The BRAKE lights will illuminate when the brake is applied, and will be a brighter RED than the running light condition.

NOTES: The center RED indicator light will remain illuminated regardless of

operation, unless the MotoGlo has been turned OFF.

2. Once manually turned OFF, the same procedure must be used to power ON the MotoGlo.

IMPORTANT: If 2 MotoGlo Helmet Lights have been paired to the control module, the procedures above will affect BOTH helmet lights if they are in range of the control module. If only one MotoGlo is to be manually turned OFF or ON, make sure the other MotoGlo is in sleep status or out of range (>100FT) of the control module.

NOTE: The MotoGlo will go into sleep status when the ignition is turned OFF and the MotoGlo powers OFF a few seconds later. The MotoGlo will remain in sleep status until a slight movement is detected after the ignition is turned ON.

RunningLights The RED running lights remain ON in normal operating mode

unless changed by the user.

The status of the running lights may be changed by operating the left-right-left turn signals within 3 seconds. Each completed left-right-left cycle of the turn signals will advance the running light condition to the next status.
