4. Operating Instructions
Using your Zip Stick is straightforward:
- Access Lip Balm: When you need to use your lip balm, gently pull the holder away from the attached point. The retractable tether will extend.
- Apply Lip Balm: Remove the cap from your lip balm and apply as needed.
- Retract: Once finished, replace the lip balm cap and release the holder. The tether will automatically retract, pulling the lip balm back to its original position.
Note: To advance the lip balm stick, it is generally recommended to remove the lip balm from the holder first, twist the base, and then reinsert it. While some users may attempt to twist the lip balm while it's still in the holder, the snug fit might make this difficult or cause the lip balm to slip.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your Zip Stick:
- Cleaning: Wipe the rubber holder and plastic reel with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Heat Exposure: Avoid exposing the Zip Stick and its contents to extreme heat (e.g., leaving it in a hot car). High temperatures can cause lip balm to melt and potentially damage the holder.
- Tether Care: While the retractable tether is designed for durability, avoid excessive force or sudden jerks when extending it to prevent premature wear.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lip balm does not fit into the holder. | Lip balm is not a standard cylindrical size (e.g., too thick or unusually shaped). | Ensure you are using a standard cylindrical lip balm. The holder is designed for common lip balm dimensions. |
| Tether does not retract fully or smoothly. | Internal mechanism obstruction or wear. | Check for any debris around the tether opening. If the issue persists after extended use, the unit may be at the end of its lifespan. |
| Lip balm melts while in the holder. | Exposure to high temperatures. | Avoid leaving the Zip Stick in direct sunlight or hot environments (e.g., car dashboards). |
