eBike system is switched on, then the on-board computer
battery is powered and charged by the eBike battery.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder (5),
the power is supplied by the on-board computer battery. If
the on-board computer battery's charge is running low, a
warning message appears on the display.
To charge the on-board computer battery, slide the on-board
computer back onto the holder (5). Note that if you do not
charge the eBike battery straight away, the eBike system will
automatically switch off after 10 minutes of inactivity. If this
happens, the on-board computer battery will also stop char-
ging.
You can also charge the on-board computer via the USB
port (6). To do this, open the protective cap (17). Use a Mi-
cro USB cable to connect the USB port on the on-board com-
puter to a commercially available USB charger (not included
with the product as standard) or to the USB port of a com-
puter (max. 5 V charging voltage; max. 1000 mA charging
current).
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder (5), all
values for the functions are saved and can still be scrolled
through.
After use, the USB port must be carefully resealed with the
protective cap (17).
If the Kiox battery is not recharged, the date and time will be
retained for up to 6 months. When the on-board computer is
switched on again, the date and time will be reset if a
Bluetooth® connection to the app has been established and
the smartphone has successfully identified the current loca-
tion via GPS.
Note: The Kiox only charges while it is switched on.
Note: If the Kiox is switched off during charging via a USB
cable, the Kiox can only be switched on again once the USB
cable has been disconnected.
Note: To maximise the lifespan of the on-board computer's
battery, it should be recharged for one hour every three
months.

Storage mode/resetting the Kiox
The on-board computer has an energy-saving storage mode
which minimises the rate at which the internal battery dis-
charges. Setting to this mode erases the date and time.
This mode can only be activated by pressing and holding the
on/off button (4) of the on-board computer for at least 8
seconds.
If the on-board computer does not start when the on/off but-
ton (4) is pressed briefly, the on-board computer is in stor-
age mode.
You can deactivate storage mode by pressing the on/off but-
ton (4) for at least 2 seconds.
The on-board computer detects whether it is in a fully func-
tional condition. If you press and hold the on/off button (4)
for at least 8 seconds while in a fully functional condition,
the on-board computer will go into storage mode. If, con-
trary to expectations, the Kiox is not in a fully functional con-
dition and cannot be operated, pressing and holding the on/
off button (4) (for at least 8 seconds) will reset it. After be-
ing reset, the on-board computer will restart automatically
after approx. 5 seconds. If the Kiox does not restart, press
the on/off button (4) for 2 seconds.
To reset the Kiox to its factory settings, select <Settings> →
<Sys settings> → <Factory reset>. All user data will be
lost.
Setting the assistance level
On the operating unit (7), you can set the level of assistance
you want the eBike drive to provide you with while pedalling.
The assistance level can be changed at any time, even while
cycling.
Note: In some models, the assistance level may be preset
and cannot be changed. There may also be fewer assistance
levels available than stated here.
The following assistance levels are available as a maximum:
– OFF: Motor assistance is switched off. The eBike can just
be moved by pedalling, as with a normal bicycle. The
push assistance cannot be activated at this assistance
level.
– ECO: Effective assistance with maximum efficiency, for
maximum range
– TOUR: Steady assistance, long range for touring
