The CATEYE VOLT200XC HL-EL060RC is a compact, rechargeable bicycle light designed for everyday use, offering reliable illumination and ease of handling. This device is powered by a 3.7V Li-ion battery and features a durable design suitable for various environmental conditions.
The VOLT200XC serves as a primary or supplementary light for cyclists, enhancing visibility and safety. It offers multiple lighting modes to adapt to different riding conditions and battery life requirements. The light's main function is to provide illumination, with a maximum output of 200 lumens in High mode, and lower outputs for extended battery life in Low and Flashing modes.
The device incorporates a mode memory function, which means it will turn on in the last lighting mode used, providing convenience for regular users. An integrated switch also acts as an indicator for remaining battery power, lighting up when the battery level drops to 20% or less, prompting the user to recharge.
Charging: The VOLT200XC is designed for easy charging via a standard USB 2.0 connection. To charge, the user simply opens the charge jack cover and connects the included USB cable to a PC or a USB battery charger. It is recommended to use a 500+mA USB battery charger for optimal performance. A full charge typically takes approximately 3 hours. The switch (indicator) on the light provides visual feedback during charging: it lights up when charging is in progress and turns off when charging is completed. It is crucial to charge the product before its first use and to ensure the ambient temperature is between 5 and 40°C (41°F and 104°F) during charging. Avoid charging in direct sunlight or inside a parked vehicle. After charging, the USB plug should be disconnected.
Mounting: The light is designed for secure attachment to bicycle handlebars or seatposts with diameters ranging from Ø22 mm to Ø32 mm, using the provided rubber band and hook. The mounting mechanism allows for 360-degree rotation, enabling users to adjust the light angle as needed for optimal visibility. Before each trip, users should ensure the light is firmly mounted, lights up correctly, and is not obstructed by baggage.
Operation: The light is operated via a single switch.
The approximate runtimes for each mode are:
The switch also serves as a low battery indicator, illuminating when the remaining power is 20% or less, signaling that a recharge is needed.
General Care: The VOLT200XC is water-resistant for normal daily use and can be used in the rain, but it should not be intentionally submerged in water. If the light unit or its parts become dirty with mud or other substances, it should be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with mild soap. Users should never use paint thinner, benzine, or alcohol for cleaning, as this can cause damage.
Battery Care: The rechargeable lithium-ion battery has a lifespan of approximately 300 charge/discharge cycles before its rated capacity drops to 70%. To prolong battery life, avoid charging, discharging, or storing the device in high temperatures, such as inside a vehicle or near a heater. If the illumination time significantly decreases even after proper charging, it indicates that the rechargeable battery may be nearing the end of its service life.
Storage: For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the device in a cool and dry place. To maintain battery health during extended periods of non-use, the battery should be charged for 30 minutes every 6 months.
Disposal: When disposing of the light unit, users are advised to remove the internal rechargeable battery and dispose of it according to local regulations, emphasizing environmental responsibility.
Safety Precautions: Users should keep the light out of children's reach. It is also recommended to carry a spare light in case of unexpected battery shutoff. Mounting the light unit too close to a wireless computer may interfere with the computer's readings. The light should not be subjected to vibrations while charging. When connecting to a PC for charging, ensure the PC is not in sleep mode, as the unit cannot be charged in that state.
