FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:


Q: 20W-D doesn’t plug in properly in the socket. What should I do?

A: The integrated 20W-D unit has an indexed bayonet base, so it can only
be inserted with correct orientation. Refer to diagram on page-3 to see
how the pins are indexed.

If the base feels too tight to be able to twist-in, you may have to file the
solder bumps a little to reduce interference.

If the base feels too loose and makes intermittent connection, you can
pull-up on the spring contacts of the socket to gain a little more retaining
force.

Q: As soon as I turn the key on, the 20W-D begins to flash and applying
the brakes doesn’t make any difference. What’s wrong?

A: There are two possibilities.

Referring the diagram on page-3, check to make sure the socket on the
bike is wired correctly. Hint: the brake voltage should be present at the
contact next to pin closest to the base.

Or, the brake switch on the bike a bit sticky. This is usually the foot brake
switch. tailBlazer is triggered by brake voltage with very little current. With
the switch set too close to the foot pedal, a small amount of current can
pass through. It may not be enough to turn a 27W tail bulb on, but it’s
enough to trigger the tailBlazer.

Note! On some older bikes or European models, the taillights must be on
to power the 20W-D unit otherwise the circuit is not powered.

As soon as you turn the key on, the tailBlazer should come on full bright
for about a half second, then drop down to lower intensity.
