DISCOVER THE NIGHT!
Thank you for choosing Classic Plus™ from NiteRider, the
innovator in technical lighting systems. Classic Plus is a dual-
beam halogen system that charges quickly and uses a
thumb-operated remote switch for safe, easy access to three
lighting modes.
To get the most from your NiteRider light, we urge you to
familiarize yourself with the following safety and operation
instructions.
1
PROTECTING
YOUR INVESTMENT
When not in use, always disconnect the headlamp from the
battery. To unplug, grasp the connector, not the cable.
Properly charge your battery to maximize its lifespan (see
“Battery Charging and Care” on page 10). To avoid damaging
your system, only charge your NiteRider battery with the
appropriate NiteRider charger.
While Classic Plus will perform in wet weather conditions,
submerging it in water will damage the system. If you need a
submersible light, NiteRider manufactures industrial-grade
dive light systems. For information, contact NiteRider Dive
Lights at 858.268.3850 or visit www.niteriderdive.com.
RIDING AT NIGHT
While the Classic Plus 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.

MOUNTING THE HEADLAMP
Universal Handlebar Mount
The Universal Handlebar Mount (UHM) is designed to fit on
virtually any handlebar. Included 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 handlebar.
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.
Inserting the Headlamp into the UHM
Insert the headlamp mount into the UHM slider 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.
Secure the remote switch to the handlebar with the Velcro
strap so that the remote switch is easily accessed by the
thumb while riding.
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 is mounted to the bike frame.
1. Thread the wide Velcro strap through the slots on the top of
the battery clip.
2. Attach the concave surface of the battery to a safe,
convenient location on the frame (typically under the top or
down tube), placing the Velcro strap over the tube but
under any shift or brake cables.
3. Secure the handlebar cord to the frame using the thin
Velcro tie. Make sure the cord does not interfere with any
moving parts.
