Bosch eBike Systems 1 270 020 XB I | (11.4.16)
Displays and configurations of the on-board
computer
Energy supply of th e 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.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4 , the
energy is supplied via an inter nal battery p ack. If the int ernal
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 t he inter nal battery pack, put the on-board comput-
er bac k in t he hold er 4 (when a battery pack is i nserted 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 U SB cable to a standard U SB
charger or the USB port of a comp uter (5 V charging voltage,
max. 500 mA charging current). “USB connected” will ap-
pear in text indication d of the on-board computer.
Switching on/shutting down the on-board computer
To switch on the on-board computer, briefly press the O n/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 comp uter, press th e On/Off
button 5 .
If the on-board computer is not inserted in the holder, it
automatically switches o ff after 1 minut e to save energ y if no
button is pressed.
If you do not use your eBike for several weeks, 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.
Battery Charge-control Indicator
The battery charge-control indicator i display s 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.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4 , the
last displayed battery charge level is saved.
If an eBike is operated with two batt ery packs, the battery
charge-control indicator i displays the level of both batter y
packs.
If an eBike has two battery packs insert-
ed into it and both battery packs are
charged on the bike, the cha rging pro-
gress of both battery packs will be indi-
cated on the display (the left-hand bat-
tery pack is being charged in the
illustration). You can t ell by the flashing
indicator on the battery pa ck which of
the two battery packs is being charged.
Setting the Assistance Level
On the operating unit 9 you can set how much the eBike drive
assists you while pedalling. The assistance level can be
changed at any time, e ven while cyclin g.
Note: For individual versions, it is possible that the assistance
level is pr e-set and canno t be changed. It is also possible tha t
less assistance levels are available for selection than listed here.
The following assistance levels (max.) are available:
–“OFF” : The motor assistance is switched off, and the e Bike
can be moved as a normal bicycle only by pedalling. The
push assistance cannot be activated in this assistance level.
–“ECO” : Effective assistance at maximum efficiency for
maximum cruising range
–“TOUR” : Uniform assistance, for touring with long cruising
range
–“SPORT” : Powerful assistance for sportive riding off road
as well as for urban traffic
–“TURBO” : Ma ximum assistance, su pporting highest ca-
dence for spo rtive riding
To increase the assistance level, press the “+” 12 button on
the operating unit until the desired assistance level appears in
the display b . To decrease the assistance level, press the
button “–” 11 .
The requested motor output is displayed in indicator a . T he
maximum motor output depends on the selected assistance
level.
When the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4 ,
the last indicated assistance level is stored; the motor-output
indicator a remains empty.
On indica tor i , each bar of the battery p ack symbol is e quiva-
lent to a capacity of approx. 20 %:
The eBike battery pack is fully cha rged.
The eBike battery pack should be r echarged.
The LEDs of the charge-control indicator on the bat-
tery pack extinguish. The capacity for assisting the
drive has been used up, and assistance i s gently
switched off. The remaining capacity is made availa-
ble for the lighting and the on-board computer. The
indicator flashes.
The capacity of the eB ike battery pack is enough for
about 2 hours of lighting. This does not account for
other consumers (e. g. automati c gearbox, charging
external devices at the USB port).
