IMPORTANT!
The solid green LED (3a) indicates that the System is on.
WARNING!
Any LED indication different from the solid green LED (3a) indicates that
the System is not active and accordingly will NOT deploy in a crash.
Indications during battery charging
During battery charging the LED Display (3) will show a continuous flashing. When the
battery is fully charged all 3 LEDs will remain illuminated.
14. Cleaning, Storage and Transportation
Vest Cleaning
Use only a cloth dampened with water to clean the vest (fabric and plastic parts). Solvents or
chemical cleaners must not be used, as they may compromise the integrity of the System.
WARNING!
Under NO circumstances should the vest be washed in a washing machine,
submerged in water, tumble dried or ironed. This may cause permanent
damage to the System and cause malfunction.
Tip:
As part of the recommended two-yearly service the System will be
disassembled and washed.
Storage
When not in use it is recommended to store the System in its original packaging. It may
be stored flat provided that no heavy or sharp objects are placed on top of it. The System
can also be stored hung up from a rail. It should always be stored in a cool, dry place, out
of direct sunlight.
The battery of the System slowly self-discharges, even if the System is not turned on, in
particular if the System is stored in a warm environment. It is thus recommended that even
whilst in storage the System be periodically recharged (at least once every 18 months) to
prevent battery drainage and shortening the battery life.
IMPORTANT!
If the battery becomes fully drained, the System may require a longer
time to recharge. It is thus recommended that the System is periodically
recharged as indicated.
WARNING!
Do NOT leave the System in direct sunlight inside a closed car or otherwise
exposed to high temperatures. High temperatures will damage the battery
and possibly the other electronics of the unit.
WARNING!
Zipping up the vest and closing the Front Flap (2) will cause the System to
turn on. To prevent this, it is essential that the Front Flap (2) is opened, in
order to prevent accidental activations of the System. Failure to do so will
cause the System to turn on, which will cause the battery to drain. When
storing the System remember to keep the Front Flap (2) open and check
that there are no indicator lights illuminated on the LED Display (3).
WARNING!
The System's storage temperature must be between -20°C and +60°C (-4°F
to 140°F). Exposure to a temperature lower than -20°C (-4°F) may cause
permanent damages to the battery.
Transportation
UNDEPLOYED SYSTEMS
An undeployed System may be transported by the user as indicated in this manual.
However, users must NOT ship an undeployed System. Therefore, in any case of returning an
undeployed System (size returns, withdrawals), users need to physically take the System to
the nearest Tech-Air
Users should be aware that airbag inflators are pyrotechnic devices. Under the European
Pyrotechnic Directive (2013/29/EU) they are certified safe for transportation, provided that
the below conditions are followed:
IMPORTANT!
An undeployed System must only be transported when in STAND-BY mode
in order to avoid accidental activations during its transportation.
