Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's functionality and longevity.

1. Disconnect and Remove Battery: Always ensure the battery pack is disconnected and removed from the jacket before washing.
2. Close Zippers: Close all zippers and fasteners on the jacket.
3. Hand Wash Recommended: For best results, hand wash the jacket in cold water with a mild detergent.
4. Machine Wash (Gentle Cycle): If machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the jacket in a mesh laundry bag to protect it.
5. Do Not Bleach or Iron: Avoid using bleach or ironing the jacket, as this can damage the heating elements and fabric.

4.2 Battery Pack Care

• Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Charge the battery pack at least once every three months to maintain its health if stored for extended periods.

  • Ensure the battery pack is fully charged.
  • Verify the battery pack is securely connected to the jacket's internal cable.
  • Confirm the power button has been pressed and held for 3-5 seconds to activate.
