Pairing to the Transmitr
Remote (Ion 350RT only)
The Transmitr Remote, sold separately, allows
remote control of the light. This feature is only
available on the Ion 350RT.
For more complete instructions, refer to the
Transmitr manual at bontrager.com
All pairings must be done in a single session.
Before starting, place the remote and all lights
within a small area.
NOTE: Move 15 feet from other Transmitr / ANT+
compatible lights to prevent accidental pairing.
If a light is accidentally paired, start the pairing
process over.
1. Place the light close to the Transmitr Remote
(within 15cm / 6in).
2. Quick-press the power button on the light to
turn it on, then quick-press to turn it off again.
NOTE: After completing this step, do not
press the power button on the light again until
pairing is complete.
3. Press-and-hold the center button on the
Transmitr Remote for at least 8 seconds.
When the corner buttons flash, release the
center button.
4. While the remote searches for a light, its
center button flashes red. When the Transmitr
Remote finds a light, the center button on the
remote will change from red to green, and the
found light will flash.
5. While the found light is still flashing, quick-
press the button on the Transmitr Remote
to which you would like to pair the light. The
selected button will glow, and the found
(paired) light will stop flashing and turn off.
NOTE: After the pairing, the center button on
the remote will flash red until the Transmitr
Remote finds another available light.
6. Repeat Step 4 and Step 5 for each additional
light to be paired.
NOTE: After pairing is finished, pairing any
additional lights will require that you repeat
the entire pairing procedure.

Travelling with the battery
Li-ion batteries cannot be shipped by air due to
an overheating hazard. When traveling by air,
place the light in your carry-on.
Caring for the battery
Store the battery at room temperature in a dry
place. Avoid moisture, or extreme hot or cold.
Store the battery in the charged condition. Avoid
‘deep discharge.’ Battery life will decrease if the
battery is stored in a fully discharged condition.
Over time, the run time of the battery will
diminish. Expect about 500 full charges,
depending on care. After a full life, the battery
will continue to charge but with a lower run time.
When the run time is unsatisfactory, do not open
the case of the light or incinerate; please recycle.
WARNING
A bicycle without correct lights and
reflectors might be difficult for other people
to see, and you might not be able to see.
If you can not see, or other people can not
see you, you could have an accident. Make
sure your lights operate correctly and that
batteries are charged.
