8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your KEMIMOTO Heated Vest, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Vest not heating:
  • Ensure the power bank is fully charged and correctly connected to the vest's USB cable.
  • Check if the power button LED on the vest is illuminated. If not, press and hold for 3-5 seconds to turn it on.
  • If the LED is blinking, briefly press the button to select a stable heating mode (Red, White, or Blue).
  • Try using a different USB port on the power bank if available, or a different compatible 5V 2A power source to rule out a faulty power bank.
• Short battery life:
  • Battery duration varies significantly with the selected heat level. Higher settings (Red) consume power more quickly than lower settings (Blue).
  • Ensure the power bank is fully charged before each use.
  • If the battery is old or has not been charged for a long time, its capacity may decrease. Recharge the battery every three months if not in regular use.
• LED light blinking but no heat:
  • This indicates the vest is in a pre-heat status. Briefly press the power button to select your desired stable heating mode (Red, White, or Blue).
