Setup
Unboxing and Initial Inspection

Setting the TSA Combination Lock
Your luggage is equipped with a TSA-approved 3-digit combination lock. The default combination is 0-0-0. Follow these steps to set your personal combination:
- Ensure the lock is set to the default combination (0-0-0).
- Locate the small reset button, usually a tiny hole on the side of the lock. Use a pen or a pointed object to press and hold this button until you hear a click.
- While holding the reset button, set your desired 3-digit combination by rotating the dials.
- Release the reset button. Your new combination is now set.
- Scramble the dials to lock the zippers. Test your new combination to ensure it opens the lock correctly.
Important: Remember your combination. There is no master key provided, and the manufacturer cannot assist in resetting a forgotten combination. Only TSA agents have a universal key to open and re-lock your luggage without damaging it.

Operating Instructions
Using the Telescopic Handle
Each suitcase is equipped with a multi-stage telescopic handle for comfortable maneuvering.
- To extend the handle: Press the button located on the top of the handle and pull upwards until it locks into your desired height.
- To retract the handle: Press the button again and push the handle downwards until it fully retracts into the suitcase.

Maneuvering with Spinner Wheels
Your luggage features 360-degree spinner wheels, allowing for effortless movement in any direction.
- For smooth gliding: Keep the suitcase upright and push or pull it gently. The wheels will pivot to follow your direction.
- For stability: When stationary, ensure all four wheels are flat on the ground to prevent tipping.

In addition to the telescopic handle, each suitcase has a top handle and a side handle for easy lifting and carrying, especially when loading into overhead compartments or vehicles.

Packing and Organization
The interior of each suitcase is designed for efficient packing:
- Main Compartments: Two large compartments provide ample space for clothing and larger items.
- Mesh Zippered Compartment: Ideal for organizing smaller items like toiletries, accessories, or documents.
- Cross Straps: Use the adjustable cross straps to secure your packed items and prevent shifting during transit.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Exterior
The ABS hardshell exterior is designed to be easy to clean.
- Wipe down the surface with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Dry thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
Cleaning the Interior
For the interior lining:
- Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Allow the interior to air dry completely before closing the suitcase to prevent mildew.
Wheel and Handle Care
Periodically check the wheels and telescopic handle for any debris or obstructions. Clean as needed to ensure smooth operation. Avoid exposing the luggage to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
Troubleshooting
TSA Lock Issues
- Lock not opening with combination: Double-check that you are entering the correct 3-digit combination. Ensure each dial is precisely aligned with the indicator marks. If you forgot your combination, there is no way to reset it without knowing the original code or having a TSA key.
- Reset button stuck: Ensure you are using a thin, pointed object to press the reset button firmly. If it feels stuck, try wiggling it gently.
Wheel Issues
- Wheels not rolling smoothly: Check for hair, lint, or other debris caught in the wheel mechanisms. Carefully remove any obstructions.
- Wobbly wheels: Ensure the luggage is on a flat surface. If a wheel appears damaged, contact customer support for assistance.
Telescopic Handle Issues
- Handle stuck: Ensure the release button is fully depressed when extending or retracting. Check for any items inside the suitcase that might be obstructing the handle mechanism.
- Handle wobbly: A slight wobble is normal for telescopic handles. If it feels excessively loose or does not lock into place, contact customer support.
