C. OPERATION OF T H E R AN GE
EXTE NDER
The Range Extender powers the EP8 motor directly.
When using a compatible Orbea bicycle with a Range Ex-
tender connected to the system, the motor will only draw
power from the Range Extender until the Range Extender
is depleted.
When there is no charge left in the Range Extender, the
internal battery will start powering the motor if it had any
charge left.
At that moment, the display, junction or RS Toolbox data
field will show the internal battery charge level only.
* This graphic illustrates the behaviour of the Range Extender together with the Orbea RS 540 Wh internal battery. Inter-
nal batteries with a different capacity value will show different combined capacity values.

D.1. COMBINED BATTERY LEVEL
When a Range Extender is connected to a compatible
bicycle, the system calculates the total capacity of both
the Range Extender and the internal battery and the re-
maining battery level information for the system will take
into account the charge left on both batteries out of the
combined capacity.
The combined charge level will be visible trough the
Shimano juntion or display or the Orbea RS Toolbox data
field for compatible Garmin devices.
When the Range Extender is connected to the bicycle and
its charge is depleted, the system will show, by means of
the available methods (displays, junction or RS Toolbox) the
available charge in the internal battery only, accounting for
the capacity of the internal battery alone and not the inter-
nal battery and the Range Extender system total capacity.
D.2. STANDALONE RANGE EXTENDER BATTERY LEVEL
Press once the Range Extender main button to know the
current charge level.
The LEDs will show the current charge level in 25% incre-
ments from right to left for 5 seconds.

1. To charge the Range Extender, plug the RS charger to
the mains outlet. With the Range Extender not being
connected to the charger, the LED on the charger´s
body will blink in blue.
2. Disconnect the Range Extender connection cable to the
bicycle charging port (in case it is connected) by turning
counterclockwise the cable safety tabs first and careful-
ly pulling from the cable.
3. Connect the charger to the Range Extender correctly
aligning the connector pins with those of the Range Ex-
tender´s charging port. The charger´s body LED will turn
blue for 2 seconds and then it will start fading in and
out cyclically until the battery is completely charged.
While the Range Extender is being charged, the charge
indicator LEDs will show the current battery level. The
blinking LED shows the range (in 25% increments) that
is currently being charged.

4. When the battery is fully charged, the charger´s body
LED will light in blue permanently. Disconnect the
charger from the charging port by carefully pulling from
the charger connector.
If the charger´s LED lights in red when con-
necting the charger to the outlet or during
the charging process, there is a charging
anomaly. Immediately disconnect the charg-
er and read the charger troubleshooting
method in your bicycle model´s Bluepaper
technical manual. If the problem persists,
contact an authorized dealer.
