Manual

Riding at Night

While the SlickRock 900 will improve your control and

enjoyment of night riding, please remember that cycling

at night is an inherently dangerous activity. In addition to

using your lighting system properly and riding with

extreme caution,

NiteRider urges you to:

• never ride alone

• always let someone know where you are going

• wear a helmet and reflective clothing

• carry an auxiliary light and emergency supplies.

Quick Start

1. Fully charge the battery before the first use. See

“Using the 2.5

hour Fast Charger”

2. To mount the headlamp and battery, see “Mounting

the Headlamp” and “Mounting the Battery”.

3. Connect the battery to the headlamp.

4. To turn the system on and off, simply press and

release the headlamp power

button.

Mounting the Headlamp

The HID headlamp can be mounted to the handlebar or

a helmet.

Universal Handlebar Mount

The Universal Handlebar Mount (UHM) is designed to fit

on virtually any handlebar. I

ncluded with the mount is a

2.5

mm Allen wrench,

a pair of black rubber bumpers

already in place, and a thin rubber shim to customize the

fit on large handlebars up to 32 mm in diameter.

Turn the knob counter

clockwise, allowing the hinge to

swing open. Place the mount on the handlebar on the left

side

the stem, orienting the rectangular notch in the

slider clip to the rear. Swing the hinge down to make

contact with the handlebar. Swing the hex bolt up,

seating the knob into its recess. Turn the knob clockwise

to tighten and secure the mount to the hand

lebar.

The UHM can be adjusted to accommodate any

handlebar angle. By loosening the 2.5 x 30 mm Allen

screw, you can move the swing arm back and forth to

straighten the headlamp. Tighten the 2.5 x 30 mm screw

after the adjustment.

To pivot the headlamp,

loosen the

2.5 x 12 mm screw

located under the slider clip and swing arm and rotate

the headlamp to the desired position. Make this

adjustment before tightening the 2.5 x 30 mm screw.

Helmet Mount

Unclamp the straps on each side of the helmet moun

t and

pull them free.

Position the plastic mounting plate as close to the centerline

of the he

lmet as possible, orienting the

parallel grooves on

the slider clip to the rear.

Feed each strap into and out of two helmet vents, circling

each strap back to the upper edge of the corresponding

clamp.

Fasten the straps by inserting them into the clamps.

Inserting the Headlamp into the Handlebar or Helmet

Mount

Insert the headlamp mount into the handlebar or helmet mount

slide

r clip from the rear of the slider clip forward. Gently rocking

the lamp as you slide it may help. Do not push the release

lever when inserting the headlamp into the slider clip; let the

lamp snap into place by itself.

To remove the headlamp, push the release lever and slide the

lamp backward.

Note:

After mounting the headlamp, adjust the headlamp so it

illuminates the road properly without distracting oncoming

riders.

Mounting the Battery

The NiMH battery can be mounted to the bike frame or placed

a jersey pocket, hydration pack, or fanny pack.

Warning:

For safety reasons, a cyclist should never be

tethered to the bike. If the headlamp is mounted to the helmet,

do not mount the battery to the frame. Conversely, if the

headlamp is mounted to the h

andlebar, do not place the

battery in a pocket or pack.

Frame Mount

Thread the wide Velcro strap through the slots on the top of

the battery clip.

Attach the concave surface of the battery to a safe,

convenient location on the frame (t

ypically under the top or

down tube), placing the Velcro strap over the tube but

under any shift or brake cables.

Secure the handlebar cord to the frame using the thin

Velcro tie. Make sure the cord does not interfere with any

movi

ng parts.

Pocket or Pack

1. Route the helmet cord through a helmet vent or along the

outside of the helmet using the thin Velcro tie to secure the

cord.

2. Connect the helmet cord to the battery, making sure

the cord does not interfere with

any moving parts.

3. Simply place the battery in a pocket or pack.

Operation

1. Connect the battery cord to the headlamp or helmet

cord.

2. To turn the lamp on, press and release the headlamp

power button. The LED will turn green indicating

power. It is normal for the HID bulb to flicker and

change color as the bulb stabilizes.

3. Cycle through the two brightness levels by

pressing

and releasing the power button.

4. To turn the lamp off, press and release the power

button. The lamp will go out and the LED will glow

amber for four seconds.

he lamp cannot be restruck

for eight seconds

. When the LED turns red, it is time to recharge your

battery. Turn off your lamp to avoid over

-discharging

and damaging your battery.

Note:

If the LED is flashing, the battery must be

disconnected to unlock this batter

y protection feature.

Warning:

HID headlamps require adequate

airflow

during operation (as in riding

conditions). NiteRider

discourages use of the

light in stationary conditions as

excessive heat

retention

will occur.

Battery Charging and

Care

Rechargeable batteries can last years with proper care.

Most importantly, fully charge your battery:

• before the first use

• aft

er each use

• before storing

•

ever

y 45 to 60 days when not in use

Thermal Step Down

If the SlickRock 900 HID headlamp is used in a

stationary condition, such as bench testing,

heat retention, due to inadequate airflow, will

cause the light output to

“step down” to a lower

level to avoid damage to the lamp.

Simultaneously, the LED indicator on the

headlamp will be set to flash, red

green. When

the temperature drops into a safe range, the

LED indicator will return to solid green and then

return to “hi

gh” light output by pressing and

releasing the headlamp power button.
