Safety Instructions

Safety Instructions

You must read and understand the Safety Instructions document included with your product before proceeding with the installation. Improperly installed components are extremely dangerous and could result in severe and/or fatal injuries. If you have any questions about the installation of these components, consult a qualified bicycle mechanic. This document is also available on www.sram.com.

COIN BATTERIES

Warning

INGESTION HAZARD

This product contains a button cell or coin battery.

DEATH or serious injury can occur if ingested.

A swallowed button cell or coin battery can cause INTERNAL CHEMICAL BURNS in as little as TWO HOURS.

KEEP new and used batteries OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION if a battery is suspected to be swallowed or inserted inside any part of the body.

NO OBVIOUS SYMPTOMS

Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a child's esophagus. There are no specific symptoms associated with this.

The child might:

  • Cough, gag or drool a lot

  • Appear to have an upset stomach or a virus

  • Be sick

  • Point to their throat or stomach

  • Have pain in their abdomen, chest, or throat

  • Be tired or lethargic

  • Be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise “not themselves”

  • Lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite, not want to eat solid food, or be unable to eat solid food

These sorts of symptoms vary or fluctuate, with the pain increasing and then subsiding. A specific symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If the child does this seek immediate medical help. The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with “flat” or spare button or coin batteries in the home and the products that contain them.

BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER

Safety Instructions

Lithium ion batteries are hazardous. Any failure to follow these safety instructions could damage the battery or charger which could cause fire, chemical burns, electrolyte leaks, and/or could lead to serious and/or fatal injuries. If the battery explodes, immediately call the fire department, cautiously remove any other batteries if possible, evacuate all persons from immediate area of fire, and use cold water to put out the fire.

1. Use only the SRAM-supplied charger for SRAM rechargeable batteries. Use of other chargers may cause the battery to overheat, catch fire, and/or explode. Review the User Manual for cord, charging port, and/or charging adapter specifications for use with your charger. Do not force discharge, recharge (coin batteries), disassemble, heat above manufacturer’s specified temperature rating, or incinerate your batteries. Doing so may result in injury due to venting, leakage or explosion resulting in chemical burns.

2. Replace rechargeable batteries with genuine SRAM rechargeable batteries only. Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.

3. Replace coin cell batteries used in SRAM components with a CR2032 or CR1632 battery only as defined in the user manual or on the product. Batteries must be 3V only. Ensure the batteries are installed correctly according to polarity (+ and -). Do not mix old and new batteries, different brands or types of batteries, such as alkaline, carbon-zinc, or rechargeable batteries.

4. Remove and immediately recycle or dispose of used batteries according to local regulations and keep away from children. Do NOT dispose of batteries in household trash or incinerate. Remove and immediately recycle or dispose of batteries from equipment not used for an extended period of time according to local regulations.

5. Do not use the battery outside of the temperature range specified in the user manual; avoid exposure to excessive heat or cold. Do not leave the battery in direct sunlight or in a vehicle.

6. Do not place the battery or charger in or near fire or in a place where static electricity occurs.

7. Do not modify or disassemble the battery or charger. Avoid dropping your battery or charger. Do not use a battery or charger that has been dropped or is damaged. Signs of damage include: discoloration, dents, cracks, punctures, or leakage.

8. Do not charge the battery in a damp or wet location. Avoid exposure to moisture and/or water during charging. For parts with a plug, do not insert or remove the plug while it is wet; otherwise it may cause electric shock. Make sure the plug is dry before inserting it.

9. Do not leave the battery in a charger or on equipment if it generates an odor and/or heat, changes color and/or shape, leaks electrolyte, or causes any other abnormality. If you notice any abnormalities, immediately remove the battery from the charger or equipment.

10. Do not leave a charging battery unattended. Do not leave the battery connected to the charger after charging is complete. Store the battery at room temperature with the battery cover on, if provided.

11. Do not allow metal, such as paper clips, coins, or keys, to come into contact with the battery terminals. Metal can damage the battery terminals and cause the battery to short-circuit.

12. Always completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep them away from children.

Warning

Keep new and used batteries out of reach of children at all times. Batteries can be a choking hazard, and if swallowed can cause internal chemical burns in as little as two hours and lead to death. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention. Even used batteries may cause severe injury or death. Call a local poison control center for treatment information.

Warning

SKIN IRRITANT

Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. Do not allow leaked electrolyte to come into contact with eyes or skin. Immediately wash the affected area with clean water and seek medical advice.

Notice

Hands and gloves must be clean before handling the SRAM battery. Contact with sunscreen or hydrocarbon cleaners may cause the battery to crack.

System Pairing

System Pairing

The derailleur begins and ends the pairing session.

The AXS Controller(s) must be paired with the derailleur before use.

Additional AXS components can be paired with the derailleur to create one AXS system. After multiple AXS components have been paired into one system, functions and preferences can be configured in the SRAM AXS app.

Begin the pairing session with the derailleur.

1. Press and hold the AXS button on the derailleur until the AXS LED blinks slowly, then release.

For setups using two AXS controllers, pair the right controller first.

2. Press and hold the AXS button on the controller until the green LED blinks quickly, then release.

If more than one controller (e.g. Reverb AXS or Left Flight Attendant) is paired into the system, the controller paired into the system first will function as the default right-side controller and is shown as 'Right' in the AXS app.

3. Press and release the AXS button on the derailleur to end the pairing session, or wait 30 seconds for the session to time out. The AXS LED will stop blinking.

Successful pairing can be verified with the SRAM AXS app. All paired components will be listed below the Transmission derailleur.

If any component does not respond, repeat the pairing process. The pairing process does not need to be repeated when any battery is removed and/or replaced. The pairing process must be repeated if any components are replaced, added, or removed.
