5. Operating Instructions
The Buachois Heated Insoles are designed for simple operation:
- Activate Heating: Once connected to a powered USB source, the insoles will begin to heat automatically. There are no on/off switches or temperature controls on the insoles themselves; heating is controlled by the power supply.
- Enjoy Warmth: The composite heating wire ensures safe and fast heating, providing warmth across a large area of your foot.
- Deactivate Heating: To stop heating, simply disconnect the USB cable from the power source.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the insoles from any power source. Wipe the insoles clean with a damp cloth. Do not wash in a washing machine or submerge in water. Allow to air dry completely before next use or storage.
- Storage: Store the insoles in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or damage.
- Care: Avoid folding or creasing the insoles excessively, as this may damage the internal heating elements.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Insoles not heating. | No power supply, power supply off, or cable not properly connected. | Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into both the insole and a working USB power source. Verify the power source is turned on and has sufficient charge. |
| Uneven heating. | Insole creased or improperly placed. | Remove the insole and re-insert it, ensuring it lies flat within the footwear without any folds or creases. |
| Insoles feel too hot/cold. | External factors (e.g., ambient temperature, footwear insulation). | The insoles provide a consistent heat output. Adjust your footwear or activity level if the temperature is uncomfortable. Disconnect if too hot. |
