For external dynamo's (not in the wheel)

Most bikes have dynamo's with only one wire, connect one of the two wires to the dynamo and the other to your frame. Put the dynamo onto your tyre and start driving.

For internal dynamo's (in the wheel).

Connect both wires to wires comming from the dynamo.

Start cycling and if you see the first red led producing light, its working. If not, go back to step one and see if you have done everything like you should.

Hope you are enjoying driving your bycicle even more with this fancy gadget.

Next thing you should do is create a waterproof container for it, so it won't be damaged by the rain.
