Operation
Initial Operation
Connecting the charger to the mains (see figure E)
 Observe the mains voltage!
The voltage of the power
supply must correspond with the data given on the name-
plate of the battery charger. Battery chargers marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Plug the charger plug C3 of the power cord into the charger
socket C2 of the charger.
Connect the mains cable (country-specific) to the mains
supply.
Charging the removed battery (see figure F)
Switch the battery pack off and remove it from the holder of
the eBike. For this, read and observe the operating instruc-
tions of the battery pack.
 Place down the battery pack only on clean surfaces.
In
particular, avoid soiling the charge socket and the con-
tacts, e. g. by means of sand or soil.
Insert the charger plug C5 of the battery charger into the
socket C6 on the battery pack.
Charging the battery on the Bike (see figure G)
Switch the battery off. Clean the cover of the charge socket
C7
. Prevent especially the charge socket and the contacts
from getting dirty, e.g. by sand or soil. Lift the cover of the
charge socket C7 and plug the charge connector C5 into the
charge socket C6.
 Charge the battery only in accordance with all safety
instructions. If this is not possible, remove the battery
from the holder and charge it in a more suitable location.
When doing so, read and observe the operating instruc-
tions of the battery.
Charging Procedure
The charging procedure begins as soon as the charger is con-
nected to the battery or the charge socket on the bike and the
main power supply.
Note:
The charging procedure is only possible when the tem-
perature of the battery pack is within the allowable charging-
temperature range.
Note:
The drive unit is deactivated during the charging proce-
dure.
The battery can be charged with and without the cycle com-
puter. When charging without the cycle computer, the charg-
ing procedure can only be observed on the battery charge-
control indicator.
When the on-board computer is connected, the back lighting of
the display is switched on at low luminosity and “Charging/
xx% charged”
appears on the display.
The cycle computer can be removed during the charging pro-
cedure, or it can also be fitted after the charging procedure
has begun.
The charging state is displayed by the battery charge-control
indicator A3 on the battery and by the bars on the cycle com-
puter.
When charging the main battery on the bike, the battery of the
cycle computer can also be charged.
During the charging procedure, the LEDs of charge-control in-
dicator A3 on the battery pack light up. Each continuously lit
LED is equivalent to a charge capacity of approx. 20 %. The
flashing LED indicates the charging of the next 20 %.
 Use caution when touching the charger during the
charging procedure. Wear protective gloves. Especially
in high ambient temperatures, the charger can heat up
considerably.
Once the battery is fully charged, the LEDs extinguish imme-
diately and the cycle computer is switched off. The charging
procedure is terminated. The charging state can be displayed
for 3 seconds by pressing the on/off button A4.
Disconnect the charger from the main power supply and the
battery pack from the charger.
When disconnecting the battery pack from the charger, the
battery pack is automatically switched off.
Note:
If you have charged on the bike, carefully close the
charge socket C6 with the cover C7 after the charging proce-
dure so that no dirt or water can get in.
If the charger is not disconnected from the battery after
charging, after a few hours the charger will switch itself back
on, check the charging state of the battery and begin the
charging procedure again if necessary.

Two LEDs of the battery
pack flashing
Battery pack defective Refer to an authorised bicycle

Three LEDs of the battery
pack flashing
Battery pack too warm or too
cold
Disconnect the battery from

temperature range has been
reached.
Do not connect the battery
pack to the charger until it has
reached the allowable charg-
ing temperature.
