Charging
Charging your 7.2v NiMH battery with a Trickle Charger
Always fully charge your battery before its first use. Batteries are
shipped partially charged and must be fully charged to achieve the
proper run time. Only 7.2v NiMH batteries can be charged using the
Trickle Charger.
After plugging the charger into a wall socket, insert the keyed
charger plug into the socket on the top of the battery by aligning the
raised yellow arrow with the yellow dot on the battery.
12
Charging a NiMH battery using the Multi-Chem Charger
Always fully charge your battery before its first use. Batteries are
shipped partially charged and must be fully charged to achieve the
proper run time.
1. Begin by plugging the power cord into the charger and then
into the appropriate wall socket.
2. Attach the battery to the Multi-Chem Charger by aligning the
arrow on the socket from the charger with the yellow
dot (7.2v NiMH) or arrow on the (10.8V NiMH) battery.
3. Once the battery is attached to the charger, left and right side
orange LEDs will illuminate indicating the battery is receiving a
charge.
4. After the battery has received a full charge, a green LED
will illuminate on the right side of the charger, indicating that
the battery is fully charged.
13
Hint: Always store your battery in a cool dry place and fully
recharge it before every ride. Never leave your battery in a
discharged state and always fully recharge it after 60-90 days
of storage.
Always fully charge your battery before its first use. Batteries are
shipped partially charged and must be fully charged to achieve the
proper run time.
14
1. Begin by plugging the power cord into the charger and then
into the appropriate wall socket.
2. Attach the battery to the Multi-Chem Charger by aligning the
yellow arrow on the socket from the charger with the red dot
or arrow on the Li-ion batteries.
3. Once the battery is attached to the Multi-Chem Charger, an
orange LED will illuminate on the right side and a green LED
will illuminate on the left side of the charger indicating the
battery is receiving a charge.
4. After approximately 2 hours both LEDs will illuminate green.
This indicates the battery is charged.
15
Installation of Light and Battery
Installing light head assembly
Your Light & Motion Light head comes pre-assembled with the bar
style mount attached to the light head.
16
Break-Away Disk Replacement
The adjustability of the Light & Motion bar mount and light head
allow it to resist varying degrees of impact. If the light head receives
a hard enough impact, it is designed to break away from the mount,
thus protecting the main components.
To replace the break-away disk, remove the Phillips head screw from
the underside of the bar mount and replace the break-away disk
(two additional disks are included). Align the track on the disk with
the cut out on the light head and secure using the supplied Phillips
head screw.

Installing the Bomber Strap
7.2v NiMH, 11.1v Li-ion Cub, 11.1v Arc Li-ion Batteries
Before mounting the battery to the frame you will need to first
attach the supplied hook and loop strap to the battery.
1. Feed the strap through the slot on the side of the battery with
the hook side facing outward.
2. Pull the strap until the sewn end with the buckle is above and
about even with slot on the battery.
3. Now feed the loose end through the second slot.
18
Mounting the Battery to Your Bike
1. Press the side of the battery with the groove against the frame
tube, or seat post.
2. Hold the battery between your thumb and fingers with the
buckle oriented flush against the side of the battery near the
top. Wrap the strap around the frame tube.
3. Once the strap is around the frame tube, pull the strap tight
and affix to the back side. (Note: It is very important to
squeeze the buckle against the battery with your thumb to
keep it from sliding.
19
4. If you are mounting the battery on a tube with cables, always
run the strap on the inside against the frame). When in the
correct position, the strap should reach all the way around the
bottom of the battery.
Plug the light head cable into the socket on top of the battery by
aligning the yellow arrow on the cable with the arrow, or colored
(red, or yellow) dot on the top of the battery. You may choose to
loosely coil the excess cable around the frame. Make sure the cable
has enough slack to move freely when your handlebar is turned in
the furthest position (run the cable first over the handlebar, then
back to the battery, see illustration), this will keep the cable from
being pulled out of the light head in a crash.

Mounting the Light Head to the Cabeza Mount *
22
Note: The HID lamp used in the ARC emits a weak
electromagnetic field and will interfere with some wireless
cycle computers and heart rate monitors.
The Arc NiMH HID also incorporates a low battery warning mode.
If the battery capacity drops below a certain threshold, or becomes
discharged, the light head will automatically go into the lowest power
setting and the LED will begin to flash quickly. This signifies you
have approximately 15 minutes of battery power left. If the battery
continues to be discharged, the light head will automatically go into
an ultra-low mode and the light will dim significantly. The green LED
will also begin to flash very rapidly for one minute. The light will then
automatically shut down to preserve the battery. If the light head
shuts down it can’t be restarted until the battery is recharged.
23
Arc HID Run Times

Lumens 675 550
Hint: If the ARC HID fails to light on the first try, either unplug
the light from the battery, or press and hold the start button for
3 seconds. Then wait 10 seconds to clear the memory before
following the starting procedure again. Use 1/2 second intervals
between clicks—do not rapidly click the switch.
24
The Solo Logic features a Low-Battery Warning Mode
25
Note: When using the Lithium-Ion battery the Low Battery
Warning time will be extended to between 15-40 minutes and
the period before auto shut off will decrease to 30 seconds.
26
Stella Light System Operation
Normal Mode Operation
The Stella 180 has one power switch on top of the light head which
controls the light. Pushing it twice quickly turns the light on in the
Normal Mode where you have access to High, Medium, Low, Read
and Flash. The light will start in the High setting. Pushing the button
again causes the light output to drop to the next setting. Once you
get to flash, pushing the button again will bring the light back up to
the High setting. To turn the light off, you must push and hold the
button for 2 seconds.
Stella also has a Race Mode for those who do not wish to scroll
through all of the settings in Normal Mode. To access Race Mode
the light must be off. Push and hold the power switch for 2 sec-
onds. The light will come on in the High setting. Pushing the button
again causes the light output to drop to the Low setting. Push the
button again and the light will come back to the High setting and so
on. To turn the light off, you must push and hold the button for 2
seconds.
If you continue to run the light, discharging the battery, the light
will automatically drop to the next setting—activating the same
step down procedure mentioned in the previous paragraph. This
signifies that the light will shut down in approximately 1 minute.

Charging the Vega
The Vega comes with its own proprietary Light & Motion universal
input power source which will work with any wall current from
90-260v. To charge the Vega, plug the power source pack into
the appropriate wall socket, then withdraw the charger port plug
from the bottom of the light. Insert the male jack into the charger
port until it stops. The green LED should begin to flash slowly.
Approximately after 90 minutes the green LED will glow steadily
indicating the battery is fully charged. The Vega can be left on the
charger indefinitely without harming the battery.
Note: Using any other charger or power source will void the
warranty and could be extremely dangerous.
