Important safety information
Consult your place of purchase or a distributor regarding items requiring
replacement.
Be sure to observe the following instructions in order to avoid burns or
other injury from fluid leakage, overheating, fire, or explosion.
DANGER
• Use the dedicated charging cable when charging the battery. If any non-specified items
are used, fire, overheating, leakage, or damage to the connected PC may occur.
• Do not get the charging cable wet and do not touch or hold it while it is wet or with
wet hands. If this is not observed, problems with operation or electric shocks may occur.
• Use an AC adapter with a USB port with a voltage of 5.0 V DC and with a current equal
to or higher than 1.0 A DC.
If the one with a current lower than 1.0 A is used, the AC adapter may heat up,
potentially causing a fire, smoke, overheating, destruction, electric shock, or burns.
• Do not heat the battery or throw it into fire. If this is not observed, fire or bursting
may occur.
• Do not use or leave the battery in hot and humid places such as where the battery is
exposed to direct sunlight, in a closed vehicle on a hot day, or near a heater. If this is not
observed, leakages, overheating or bursting may cause fire, burns or other injury to
occur.
• Do not deform, modify, disassemble, or apply solder directly to the battery. If this
is not observed, leakages, overheating or bursting may cause fire, burns or other
injury to occur.
• Do not touch the metal terminals with metal items such as hairpins. If this is not
observed, short-circuits, overheating, burns or other injuries may occur.
WARNING
• Do not disassemble or modify the product. This may cause the product to not operate
correctly, and you may suddenly fall and be seriously injured.
• When connecting or disconnecting the USB cable or the charging cable, be sure to hold
the cable by the plug. Failure to do so may cause a fire or electric shock.
• If the following symptoms are observed, stop using the device and contact a dealer. A
fire or electric shock may be caused.
- If heat or acrid-smelling smoke is coming out from the power plug.
- There may be a bad connection inside the power plug.
• If it thunders while charging with an AC adapter with a USB port, do not touch the
device, bicycle, or the AC adapter. If lightning strikes, electric shocks may occur.
• Do not use a USB hub when connecting the cable to a PC USB port. This may cause a
charge error or fire due to heating.
• Be careful not to damage the charging cable. Do not damage, process, forcibly bend,
twist or pull them, bring them near hot objects, place heavy objects on them or bundle
them tightly together. If they are used while damaged, fire, electric shocks or short-
circuits may occur.
• If the battery does not become fully charged after 4 hours of charging, stop charging. If
this is not observed, fire, bursting or overheating may occur.
• Do not place this product in fresh water or sea water, etc., and do not allow the
terminals to get wet. If this is not observed, fire, bursting or overheating may occur.
• Do not throw or subject this product to strong shocks. If this is not observed, bursting,
overheating or problems with operation may occur.
• Do not use the battery if leakages, discoloration, deformation or any other
abnormalities occur. If this is not observed, bursting, overheating or problems with
operation may occur.
• Clean the chain and QUICK-LINK with an appropriate chain cleaner regularly. Intervals
between maintenance depend on the use and riding circumstances. Never use alkali
based or acid based solvents, such as rust cleaners. If those solvents are used the chain or
QUICK-LINK might break and cause serious injury.
• Check the chain for any damage (deformation or cracking), skipping, or other
abnormalities such as unintended gear shifting. If any problems are found, consult your
place of purchase or a distributor. The chain may break, and you may fall.
CAUTION
• Store in a safe place out of the reach of small children to avoid letting them swallow by
mistake.
• Do not let grease adhere to the metal terminals. A conduction failure may result.
• Do not leave the charging cable connected when performing maintenance.
Notice
• The gears should be periodically washed with a neutral detergent then lubricated. In
addition, cleaning the chain and QUICK-LINK with a neutral detergent and lubricating
them can be an effective way of extending the life of the chain and QUICK-LINK.
• Do not use thinners or strong solvents to clean the products. Such substances may
damage the surfaces.
• If gear shifting operation does not feel smooth, consult the place of purchase for
assistance.
• If the chain keeps skipping, ask the place of purchase to replace the gears and the chain.
• If there is a large amount of excess play in the pulleys and extra noise is generated while
riding, replace the pulleys at your place of purchase.
• The electric wire has small waterproof connectors, so do not repeatedly connect and
disconnect it too often. It may impair the function.
• The components are designed to be fully waterproofed to withstand wet weather riding
conditions; however, do not deliberately place them into water.
• Do not clean the bicycle with a high-pressure washer. If water gets into any of the
components, operating problems or rusting may result.
• Contact the place of purchase for updates of the component software. The most up-to-
date information is available on the SHIMANO website.
• Do not get the charging cable or charging port wet when connecting them.
• Be careful not to get water into the E-TUBE ports.
• Handle the components carefully, and avoid subjecting them to strong shock.
• Disconnect the Bluetooth LE connection when not using E-TUBE PROJECT for
smartphones/tablets.
The rear derailleur does not shift gears when connected over Bluetooth LE.
• Regarding 2.4 GHz digital wireless
This product adopts digital communication technologies in the 2.4 GHz frequency, which
is used for wireless LAN, etc.
It may receive interference in the following locations or environments that prevents
wireless communication from being performed correctly.
* Near a device such as a television, computer, radio, or motor, or inside an automobile
or railway car
* Near a railway crossing or railway track, television transmitting station, or radar base,
etc.
* When using the product in combination with another cordless device or some lights
• Do not bundle the charging cable.
• Do not connect the battery charger to PC when it is on standby. This may cause a PC
failure depending on its specifications.
• Do not apply excessive tension to the charging cable.
• Do not extend the charging cable using an extension cable etc.
Extending the cable may disrupt charging.
• Do not ride the bicycle while the charging cable is still connected to it.
• Charging stops if E-TUBE PROJECT is connected while charging. Reconnect the charging
cable after E-TUBE PROJECT is disconnected.
• Charge the battery indoors to avoid exposure to rain or wind.
• Charging can be carried out at any time regardless of the amount of charge remaining.
Always use the dedicated charging cable and charge the battery until it is fully charged.
• If the ambient temperature is low, the battery's usable time will be shorter.
• Store this product or the bicycle with this product installed in a cool indoor location
away from direct sunlight and rain (estimate: 10 to 20°C).
If the storage temperature is low or high, the performance of the battery is reduced,
and its useable time will be shorter.
When you use the battery after a long storage period, make sure to charge it first.
• If the battery has become completely empty, charge it as soon as possible. If you leave
the battery without charging it, it will cause the battery to deteriorate.
• The battery is an exhaustible item. The battery will gradually lose its capacity to
charging after repeated use.
If the length of time that the battery can be used and its traveling distance become
extremely short, contact the place of purchase.
