FAQs

How do I charge the lights?

Both lights can be charged via USB. Connect the provided USB cable to the charging port on each light and plug into a compatible USB power source. Ensure the port is dry before charging.

Can I use the lights in the rain?

Yes, the CatEye Sync Core / Sync Kinetic lights are designed to be water-resistant for use in various weather conditions. However, avoid prolonged submersion.

What is the battery life of each light?

Battery life varies greatly depending on the mode used. The front light can last from a few hours in its brightest mode to many hours in flashing modes. The rear light's kinetic function also influences battery consumption. Refer to the product manual or the CatEye SYNC app for specific runtime estimates for each mode.

How many lights can I connect to the SYNC system?

The CatEye SYNC system can connect multiple SYNC lights simultaneously. The exact number may depend on the specific models and app version, but typically supports connecting at least one front and one rear light, with potential for additional lights.

Does the kinetic rear light work if the battery is dead?

No, the kinetic function, like the rest of the light, requires battery power to operate. If the battery is depleted, the light will not function, including the kinetic braking signal.

Can I use the front and rear lights independently?

Yes, you can use the front and rear lights independently if desired. However, to utilize the full benefits of the SYNC system, such as one-touch control and synchronized modes, they should be paired.

Troubleshooting

Lights not turning on

Ensure the batteries are charged. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds. If the issue persists, check the charging contacts for debris.

Lights not pairing with the app

Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Ensure the lights are powered on and within range. Try closing and reopening the app, or restarting your phone. Check if the lights are already paired to another device.

Kinetic rear light not detecting braking

Ensure the kinetic function is enabled in the app settings. Check that the light is mounted securely and is not experiencing excessive vibration unrelated to braking. Clean the internal accelerometer if possible (refer to manual).

App not responding or crashing

Close and reopen the app. Ensure you have the latest version of the app installed. Restart your smartphone. If problems continue, try reinstalling the app.

Reduced light output or short battery life

The battery may be low and require charging. Check the selected light mode in the app; higher brightness and faster flashing modes consume more power. Extreme temperatures can also affect battery performance.
