How can I stop it from generate on the day time? It really didn't come with much instruction ;-)

Pull the arm out until you hear a click. It will stay away from the wheel then. When you want it generate, press the little tab, and the lever will go in towards the wheel.

If installed in the proper direction, pushing the metal tab will make it spring away from the tire. If installed backwards you will need to push the tab to engage the dyno. I suppose it can work either way. This is just how I have done it.

The beauty of a bike electric generator is that you don't need to turn the generator off. If you wish to turn the light off, add an on/off switch on the handle bar to turn the light off.

If you have it on correctly, you should be able to click the little black generator spindle back ,you will hear it click, and below the generator itself, there will be a flat metal piece that you press to click generator back to regenerate. I hope i was able to help you Nha Hoan Le .

There weren't many instructions. I discovered that there's a latching spring mechanism that, when tripped, causes the generator to tip to one side and tensions it against the wheel. So, you setup the generator so that it touches the wheel only after you pull up on the metal tab that tips it over to the wheel. When you don't want to use it, pull it back to upright and it will click into place and not contact the tire any longer.

Well, if wearing the tire out because of the generator is a concern, you could loosen the attachment from the generator to the bike, turn the generator away from the wheel, then retighten the clamp. The additional steps for riding at night would have to be done prior to going out. Being a keep it simple type of person, the switch is my recommendation since no tools are needed after the installation of a switch. Just my thoughts....

The time function is useless. I could not figure it out, really. I think I did it opposite...whatever. I just use the time override and forget it.

I haven't looked at the programming directions in a while, but you should be able to. You set it to your needs. I have mine set to come on at 6PM and shut off at 11PM. It even adjusted for daylight savings.

I sat at my desk in the house and programed it. I have trouble seeing it where it is outside in the pump house. I can then just change the duration times as I need (still a bit hard to see). if it helps the time that first displays is always midnight

There is a 7-day setting available. I have mine set to that (on 4PM, off 7am, 7 days)

There are a couple of options. It can go through the phases non-stop (at a very relaxing pace), repeatedly OR you can click on a button and control what phase you want it to be in. You can turn it on and leave it at one phase, or you can just let it run. It's up to you. Enjoy!

You have to go into the AUTO SET sub-menu, so to speak. Don't rely on clicking MANUAL SET. Do that, certainly, but then click on AUTO SET to get its options. Turn it off there as well.It's been awhile since I did it now, but as I recall, I also deactivated Daylight Savings Time. The government has switched that around so much that I don't trust automatic updates anymore.

I had the same problem!!!! Don't try to "toggle" just keep scrolling forward and when the day gets to "31" (for instance 31/1/15) instead of starting over again (and reading 1/1/15... Remember: it goes dd/mm/year) it will read 1/2/15 (aka go from January 31 to February 1)Definitely takes longer since you can't toggle between day month and year, but I was glad to finally figure it out bc it was drivinge nuts!! :)

There are two sensors inside to the left and right (little round black things), slap some black polish on it. You can now manually control the time. Your Welcome :) Make sure it's unplugged when you do this.

I has a timer with a "stay on" option I suppose you could put it on "stay on" and use a wall timer. This thing is very heavy duty. I doubt seriously you'll want to run it 4 hours every day.

I have not used that feature, I keep mine going I turn it off maybe 4 hours a day manually since the time variesits a very nice unit,

Trash it because it's junk. Instead, I went to Target and bought a different type that's made by GE that lets me set the number of hours I want the light to be on. By trial and error, I learned that the ones which claim to turn themselves off at dawn usually don't work, especially on cloudy mornings.

No. You can set it for frequency of 1-7 days. So you could set it to run every 3 or 4 days to meet your scenario. Hope that helps.

The only thing I can figure out, all 20 presets are programed then this gives you an option to turn on and have timer count down to an off time. Then you have to switch back to normal mode. Why? I don't know. =-)

So far I haven't. I set the time and it shuts off automatically. Works great.

I tried to do the same thing with the same app and found it to be unreliable. Sometimes nothing would happen when the alarm was scheduled to activate. It may be the tune in app itself, as I've had some startup issues with it.

If you have a pretty regular schedule, (9-5 job, don't usually wake up in the middle of the night, etc) you might be able to put it on a timer (preferably a 7 day timer) and program when you may need a warm seat. Also, most timers have a manual override for those unexpected occurrences. I don't have mine yet, but it looks like the controller is a manual, switch style that remembers where it was set when power is removed.
