Charging your Smartphone
While the smartphone is in the SmartphoneGrip, it can be
charged at the same time as displaying riding data. If your
smartphone has an inductive charging function, you can
charge the smartphone without needing a cable.
Inductive Charging
The charging process starts automatically when you place a
smartphone with an inductive charging function in the
SmartphoneGrip. The status LED (9) lights up yellow. When
the smartphone is fully charged, the status LED (9) will light
up green permanently.
The charging voltage is switched off when you remove the
smartphone from the SmartphoneGrip.
Charging via USB
If your smartphone does not have an inductive charging
function, you can charge your smartphone via the USB
port (3). To do so, open the USB cap and connect a separate
USB cable (not included in the scope of delivery) to the Mi-
cro-A/B USB port.
Pay attention to the type of plug required for your smart-
phone when purchasing the USB cable.
Note: If the eBike battery reaches a state of charge of
0 %, remove any loads that may be present (e.g. smart-
phone).
Status Indicators
The status LED (9) indicates the following statuses with dif-
ferent colours and lighting patterns.

Error message
The following alarm states are detected and will lead to the

If the SmartphoneGrip is outside of the operating temper-
ature range, the status LED (9) will light up red and the
charging process is interrupted. The charging process will
resume as soon as the SmartphoneGrip is back within the
operating temperature range.
