B. CONNECTING THE RANGE EXTENDER
TO THE SYSTEM
1. Turn the safety tabs of the Range Extender ca-
ble counter-clockwise before connecting it to
the battery.
2. Connect the cable to the Range Extender
charging port. Open the bicycle charging port
and connect the Range Extender cable.
Different Orbea bicycle models use a Range
Extender connection cable of a specific
length. Consult the bicycle model Bluepaper
technical manual to know the specific length
of the connection cable for that model.
3. Turn the cable´s safety tabs clockwise to lock
the cable in place.
To disconnect the Range Extender cable or to
remove the Range Extender from the bicycle to
charge it, turn first the cable´s safety tabs and
carefully pull from the cable´s connector.

If the bicycle was On when connecting
the Range Extender to the bicycle, the
system will turn itself Off and you will
need to turn the bicycle On again by
pressing the power button.
This happens so the system can re-
boot and recognize the Range Extend-
er as part of the power system when
the bicycle is turned On again.
Once you turn the bicycle On, the
Range Extender will be operative. It is
not necessary to turn the Range Ex-
tender On.
If the Range Extender is disconnected
when the bicycle is On, the bicycle will
turn itself Off and it will be necessary
to turn the bicycle back on. This hap-
pens so the system can reboot and
recognize the internal battery as the
only current power supply.

C. OPERATION OF THE RANGE EXTENDER
1
The Range Extender powers the EP801 or EP6
motors directly. When using a compatible Or-
bea bicycle with a Range Extender connected to
the system, the motor will only draw power
from the Range Extender until the Range Extend-
er is depleted.
When there is no charge left in the Range Extend-
er, the internal battery will start powering the mo-
tor if it had any charge left.

At that moment, the display, remote lever 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. Internal batteries with a different capacity value will show different combined ca-
pacity values.
D. BATTERY LEVEL VISUALIZATION
D.1 COMBINED BATTERY LEVEL
When a Range Extender is connected to a com-
patible bicycle, the system calculates the total
capacity of both the Range Extender and the
internal battery and the remaining battery level
information for the system will take into account
the charge left on both batteries out of the com-
bined capacity. The combined charge level will
be visible trough the Shimano remote or display
or the Orbea RS Toolbox data field for compatible
Garmin devices.
When the Range Extender is connected to the bi-
cycle and its charge is depleted, the system will
show, by means of the available methods (dis-
plays, remote lever or RS Toolbox) the available
charge in the internal battery only, accounting
for the capacity of the internal battery alone and
not the internal 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% increments
from right to left for 5 seconds.
