you plug them into the mounts, so that you always know the battery that

connect the USB cable to Blinkers.
If you have not used Blinkers for longer than a month, recharge them.

7- RIDE SAFELY
Blinkers, by adding extra lights like turning indicators, a laser
projection and a brake light, greatly improves your visibility and
predictability in the road. However, the risk is still there becau-
se cyclists are the most vulnerable users of the road: two wheels
to balance and no chassis to protect us. Therefore, you need to
be CAREFUL and AWARE of your surroundings to avoid getting
into dangerous situations in the road.
