JetForce BT Backpack
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
JETFORCE BT BACKPACK INTRODUCTION
The JetForce BT Backpack is designed for use in and around areas with
the chance of snow avalanches. This backpack incorporates the JetForce
Avalanche Airbag System, which is designed to improve the chances of surviv-
ing an avalanche. By increasing the total volume of the person caught in the
slide the airbag helps keep the victim on the surface, decreasing the chances of
a complete burial and allowing for a faster rescue.

SYSTEM FUNCTION
When the airbag is deployed by pulling the Deployment Handle (1c), the
Release Clip (1k) is forced open, allowing the Release Flap (1l) to open, and
then the inflating airbag opens the airbag zipper. The airbag can then fully
inflate (Figure 2).
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
To ensure that your JetForce BT Avalanche Airbag will function properly, the
JetForce BT electronic system performs a comprehensive self-diagnosis on
every system startup. The system checks the battery charge level, motor and
fan operation and all critical electronics such as status lights,
trigger electronics and the battery electronics. The system also performs fre-
quent diagnosis while armed. A properly working system indicates a
pulsing green System Status Light (1e), located on the Deployment Handle (1c).
Warnings/malfunctions are indicated with a red System Status Light (1e), in
