Frequently Asked Questions - BICYCLE CHARGER DC-14 NOKIA

How do I install the Nokia Bicycle Charger DC-14 on my bike?

First, attach the mounting bracket to the right front fork using the provided bolts. Mount the dynamo onto the bracket and adjust the friction roller against the tire. Connect the electrical wire to the dynamo by pressing the latch, and the ground wire to the bracket. Install the charger and the Nokia CR-124 phone holder onto the handlebar, then connect the cables. Place your Nokia device in the holder and plug in the charging cable. Refer to the guide for more details.

Can I use this charger with a non-compatible Nokia smartphone?

The charger is designed for Nokia devices with a 2.0 mm charger connector. If your Nokia smartphone uses a different connector type (e.g., USB-C), it will not be compatible without an adapter. Check compatibility in your device's guide.

What speed do I need to reach for charging to start?

You need to pedal at a speed greater than 6 km/h (4 mph), which is typical walking speed. If you pedal too slowly, charging may not start, even if you increase speed later.

What if charging doesn't start even at sufficient speed?

Stop the bike, disconnect the charging cable from your device for a few seconds, then reconnect. Resume pedaling at a speed of at least 6 km/h. If the problem persists, check that the dynamo is properly contacting the tire and that all cables are securely connected.

Is it safe to use this charger in the rain?

The charger is not designed for use in rain. Moisture can corrode electronic circuits. Avoid any contact with liquids. If the charger gets wet, dry it completely before using again.

How do I clean the charger and its accessories?

Use a soft, dry, clean cloth to clean the surface of the charger and accessories. Do not use chemical or abrasive cleaners. Do not paint the charger, as paint could clog moving parts.

Can I use the included dynamo with other devices?

The dynamo is specifically designed for the Nokia Bicycle Charger DC-14. It is not recommended to use it with other devices, as the voltage and connector may not be suitable. Use only the dynamo provided with the charger.

What if the dynamo falls into the wheel spokes?

If the dynamo is not properly installed, it may fall between the spokes and lock the wheel. After riding a few kilometers, check that the dynamo is still securely fastened. Thereafter, check it before each use. If it becomes loose, stop immediately and reinstall it correctly.

How do I disengage the dynamo from the tire?

To disengage the friction roller from the tire, pull the dynamo outward from the tire (away from the wheel). This allows you to stop charging when you are not pedaling or do not wish to use the charger.

Where should I return the product at the end of its life?

Do not dispose of the charger, dynamo, or accessories with household waste. Return them to a dedicated collection point for recycling electrical and electronic equipment. You can find information about Nokia product recycling at www.nokia.com/werecycle.

General safety instructions

Obey all local laws. Always keep your hands free to operate the bicycle while cycling. Your first consideration while cycling should be road safety. Only operate the product if it is safe to do so under all cycling conditions.

When you install the product, make sure it does not interfere with or hinder the steering or braking systems of the bicycle.

Make sure the product is not installed where you might come in contact with it in the event of an accident or collision.

During extended operation or in high temperatures, the charger or dynamo may be very warm. Do not touch the dynamo for a few minutes after a long ride.

Incorrect installation may cause the dynamo to fall between the bicycle spokes and jam the wheel. After riding a few kilometres, make sure that the dynamo is still securely fitted. After that, check every time before using the bicycle.

Incorrect installation of the dynamo causes an increase in running resistance and an excessive wearing of tyres during operation.

Mount the dynamo

Only use the supplied dynamo with the charger.

Attach the dynamo to the mounting bracket

To attach the dynamo to the mounting bracket, use the supplied bolt, nut, and washer (12). Make sure the bracket is firmly attached to the dynamo.

Attach the bracket to the front fork

To attach the mounting bracket to the right side of the front fork on your bicycle, use the supplied bolts, nuts, and screw (13). Make sure the bracket is firmly attached to the fork.

Mount the dynamo against the tyre

To mount the dynamo against the tyre, place the friction roller at the correct angle, height, and distance to the tyre (14) so that it properly touches the side of the tyre when you press the lever (15). Position the dynamo correctly using the adjustment bolt (16).

To detach the roller from the tyre, pull the dynamo away from the tyre (17).

Attach the electric wire

To attach the electric wire to the dynamo, firmly press and hold the latch at the bottom of the dynamo upwards (18), guide the bare end of the wire through the hole (19), and release the latch to lock the wire in place.

Attach the grounding wire

To attach the grounding wire to the mounting bracket, place the

connector of the wire under the nut (20), and tighten the bolt to lock the wire firmly in place.

Mount the charger and mobile device

Attach the charger to the handlebar

To attach the charger and your Nokia mobile device to the handlebar, use the supplied Nokia Phone Holder for Bicycles CR-124.

Place the holder on the top and the charger on the bottom of the handlebar (21). Thread the straps of the holder through the slots at the charger (22).

Connect the cables

To connect the charger cables to the electric wire attached to the dynamo and the grounding wire attached to the mounting bracket, press the ends of the corresponding cables and wires into each other (23).

Attach the electric and grounding wires to the head tube with the supplied removable cable ties. Make sure the charger is properly mounted (24).

Attach the mobile device to the handlebar

Place the mobile device over the holder. Carefully stretch the holder straps, and thread them around the top and rear sides of the mobile device (25). Make sure the mobile device stays firmly in place and is properly mounted (26).

To keep the holder attached to the handlebar when you are not using it, carefully stretch the holder straps over the handlebar, and thread the straps behind the tabs on the charger (27). Make sure the holder stays firmly in place (28).

Connect the charger to the mobile device

Plug the charging cable of the charger into the 2.0 mm charger connector on your Nokia device.

If you connect the dynamo to a headlamp at the same time, your device will not charge properly.

Charge the battery using the dynamo

Make sure the charger is connected to your mobile device.

Press the lever of the dynamo so that the friction roller touches the tyre.

Begin pedalling your bicycle faster than 6 km/h (4 mph), which is

a typical walking speed. If you pedal too slowly, charging may not start even when you increase your speed. In that case, stop the bicycle, and detach the charging cable from the mobile device for a few seconds.

Take care of your device

Handle your device and accessories with care. The following suggestions help you protect your warranty coverage.

- Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that

corrode electronic circuits. If your device gets wet, allow it to dry completely.

• Do not use or store the device in dusty or dirty areas. Moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.
• Do not attempt to open the device.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break mechanics.
• Only use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean the surface of the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.

Recycle

Always return your used electronic products, batteries, and packaging materials to dedicated collection points. This way you help prevent uncontrolled waste disposal and promote the recycling of materials. Check product environmental information and how to

recycle your Nokia products at www.nokia.com/werecycle, or with a mobile device, www.nokia.mobi/werecycle.

The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your product, battery, literature, or packaging reminds you that all electrical and electronic products, batteries, and accumulators must be taken to separate collection at the end of their working life. This requirement applies in the European Union. Do not dispose of these products as unsorted municipal waste.
