EN Plug5 Plus

I have questions about using the device

What devices can I use with Plug5 Plus?

The Plug5 Plus can theoretically be operated in combination with any device that is capable of external USB operation or can be charged and operated simultaneously via USB. However, we cannot give any guarantee compatibility as all devices behave differently.

Does the device charge even when the light is on?

This is possible thanks to our Auto-Light-Switch function. This automatically switches between operating modes "with" and "without" lighting. The simultaneous operation of lighting and charging function is possible, though the buffer battery in the Plug5 Plus is supplied with minimal power.

After riding in intense rain, my Plug5 Plus doesn't work anymore.

Water may get onto the USB contacts or bridge the inner contacts. Usually the plug will work again after drying. To speed up the process, we recommend dismantling the Topcap and drying it indoors.
