This Instruction Manual uses signal words to alert you to potential hazards or important information.
The meaning of the signal words is listed below:

or serious injury.

NOTICE

Bicycle lights made by Busch + Müller are suitable for use on bicycles cycling on a

firm surface. Avoid any extreme use, and never ride down stairs or perform jumps, stunts, tricks,
bunny hops or vertical descents on rough terrain.

4. LEVAL – Legal regulations

Before cycling on public roads, you must learn and observe at any time the applicable national laws
and statutes as well as local regulations. For information, either consult the Road Traffic Regulations
or – depending on your respective place of residence – other sources for information.
The LEVAL optimises the light distribution of your headlight when cycling along curves in a way to
ensure that the light shines where you need it without dazzling other traffic. However, it is always
essential to comply with the basic regulations for headlights and their alignment.

When attaching the LEVAL, make sure that the headlight is not covered under any circumstances.

If the LEVAL is switched off, the spotlight must be properly aligned.
In general, the prescribed mounting height ranges between about 400 and 1,200 mm. For details
consult your national Road Traffic Regulations or contact a local bicycle specialist retailer.

5. LEVAL – Technical specification

Operating voltage: 5-15 V DC (direct current)
Continuous output: 0.5 W (when activated, switch [3] ”ON“)
Maximum output: up to 3 W for a short time
Standby mode (switch [3] ”OFF“): 0.2 W
Max. load: sufficient for all cable-connected Busch + Müller headlights (except for headlamp IQ-XL,
type 169 - can lead to an unsteady light pattern under certain circumstances)

6. Power supply / LEVAL connection

The LEVAL is only suitable for connection to a DC voltage source, not for connection to an AC
voltage source such as a dynamo.

The LEVAL can either be connected to the light output of the e-bike system together with the
headlight, separately to another switched output of the e-bike system or to a separate power
source, e.g. a power bank. The data mentioned under „5. LEVAL - Technical Specification“ must
be observed. Additional detailed information is provided in the following sections.

Sufficient power must be available for the operation of the lighting system and the LEVAL
curve light assistant!

This must be ensured before putting the LEVAL into operation for the first time. The available
power of the power source for the LEVAL (lighting output on the e-bike system or other DC pow-
er source) must be higher than the maximum power of all consumers connected to this power
source. The consumers always include the LEVAL; other consumers can be: the headlight, rear
light, power bank etc. Check this before initial startup!

WARNING

If the power provided by the system is not sufficient, there is always the risk that

the complete lighting system cannot be switched on at all, or switches off while cycling. This is
likely to cause accidents or the cyclist falling off the bike.
