Initial Operation

Requirements
The eBike system can only be activated when the following
requirements are met:
– A sufficiently charged battery pack is inserted (see battery
pack operating instructions).
– The on-board computer is properly inserted in the holder
(see "Inserting and removing the on-board computer",
page English–2).
– The speed sensor is connected properly (see "Checking
the Speed Sensor", page English–2).
Switching the eBike System On/Off
Options for switching on the eBike system:
– If the on-board computer is already switched on when you
insert it into the holder, then the eBike system will be
switched on automatically.
– When the on-board computer and the eBike battery pack
are inserted, briefly press the On/Off button 5 of the on-
board computer.
– When the on-board computer is inserted, press the On/Off
button of the eBike battery pack (see battery pack operat-
ing instructions).
The drive is activated as soon as you step on the pedals
(except when in the push aid feature, see "Switching the
Push/Start Aid On/Off", page English–4). The motor output
depends on the settings of the assistance level on the on-
board computer. As soon as the system is activated, "Perfor-
mance Line" will appear briefly on the display.
As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal operation, or as
soon as you have reached a speed of 25/45 km/h, the assis-
tance from the eBike drive is switched off. The drive is auto-
matically re-activated as soon you start pedaling again and the
speed is below 25/45 km/h.
Options for switching off the eBike system:
– Press the On/Off button 5 of the on-board computer.
– Switch the eBike battery pack off by its On/Off button (see
battery pack operating instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer out of its holder.
If no power is drawn from the drive unit for about 10 minutes
(e.g. because the eBike is not moving), the eBike system will
shut down automatically to save energy.
Displays and configurations of the on-board
computer
Energy supply of the on-board computer
If the on-board computer is in the holder 4, a sufficiently
charged battery pack is inserted in the eBike and the eBike
system is turned on, then the on-board computer is powered
by the battery pack of the eBike.
0 276 001 SPI | (16.7.14)
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4, the
energy is supplied via an internal battery pack. If the internal
battery pack is weak when the on-board computer is switched
on, "Attach to bike" will appear in text indication d for 3 s.
The on-board computer will then turn off again.
To charge the internal battery pack, put the on-board comput-
er back in the holder 4 (when a battery pack is inserted in the
eBike). Switch the eBike battery pack on by its On/Off button
(see battery pack operating instructions).
You can also charge the on-board computer via the USB port.
Open the protective cap 8. Connect the USB port 7 of the on-
board computer via a suitable USB cable to a standard USB
charger or the USB port of a computer (5 V charging voltage,
max. 500 mA charging current). "USB connected" will ap-
pear in text indication d of the on-board computer.
 If you do not use your eBike for a prolonged period of
time, remove the on-board computer from its holder.
Store the on-board computer in a dry environment at room
temperature. Regularly recharge the on-board computer's
battery pack.
Switching on/shutting down the on-board computer
To switch on the on-board computer, briefly press the On/Off
button 5. The on-board computer can also be switched on
when it is not inserted in the holder (if the internal battery
pack is sufficiently charged).
To switch off the on-board computer, press the On/Off
button 5.
If the on-board computer is not inserted in the holder, it
automatically switches off after 1 minute to save energy if no
button is pressed.
Battery Charge-control Indicator
The battery charge-control indicator i displays the charge
level of the eBike battery pack, not that of the on-board
computer's internal battery pack. The charge level of the
eBike battery pack can also be checked on the LEDs of the
battery pack itself.
On indicator i, each bar of the battery pack symbol is equiva-
lent to a capacity of approx. 20 %:
The eBike battery pack is fully charged.
The eBike battery pack should be recharged.
The LEDs of the charge-control indicator on the
battery pack extinguish. The capacity for assisting
the drive has been used up, and assistance is gently switched
off. The remaining capacity is made available for the lighting
and the on-board computer. The indicator flashes.
The capacity of the eBike battery pack is enough for about
2 hours of lighting. This does not account for other consumers
(e.g. automatic gearbox, charging external devices at the USB
port).
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4, the
last displayed battery charge level is saved.
