USE WITH LENZ HEAT PRODUCTS

7. After the end of the charging process, please disconnect both

lithium packs from the charging plugs. Important note:

Because naturally occurring minimal di󰓐erences due to production can occur, the charge indicator in the Lenz heat app* only serves as a general indicator.

Charge the product after every use. This helps extend the life of the lithium packs and ensures that the product is ready for use at any time.

The battery consists of lithium ion cells and can be charged in any state. For this reason, the battery does not need to be fully discharged before charging.

The full charging capacity of the product can only be conserved if the product is disconnected from the charging plugs after the end of the charging process. Charging time lithium pack rcB

1. Connect the USB charging cable (Fig.°2.1) with a USB power

supply unit (5 V, 1 A, not included in delivery) and plug the USB power supply unit into a socket. The charge indicator (Fig. 2.2) will light up green.

2. Remove the contact protector (Fig. 1.4) and connect both

lithium packs to the charging plugs of the charging cable (Fig. 2.3). Please refer to the diagram on the charging plugs for correct orientation. The lithium packs can be charged in any operating mode.

3. The charging process starts after one-time operation of the

control button (Fig. 1.3.).

4. The charge indicator (Fig. 2.2) will light up red during the

5. Once the lithium packs are fully charged, the charging process

automatically ends and the charge indicator (Fig. 2.2) changes back to green.

6. The charging status can be monitored with the LEDs on the lithium

pack, which light up successively as the charge increases, or using the Lenz heat app* which o󰘯ers convenient control.

USING THE LITHIUM PACKS

Use with Lenz heat products

Press the lithium packs onto the snap fasteners until they audibly snap into place (Fig. F).

The lithium packs can be operated conveniently, either manually through the visual control window or the textile (Fig. G), or optionally via the Lenz heat app on a smartphone.

When using the heated product, the optimal heating power is only produced when all heated products, textiles and socks you are wearing are dry.

Do not operate the device at the highest heating power for longer than several minutes.

Always set the product to a low or medium heat output to maintain a comfortably warm temperature (the heater should be virtually unnoticeable).

HEATING POWER - HEATING PERIOD

For heating power and heating period data, please see the table on the product packaging. You can also access the data online at http://www.lenzproducts.com The heating period per charge depends on the selected heating level, the ambient temperature, the lithium packs and the charge state as well as age of the lithium packs.

SERVICE, STORAGE AND CARE

To ensure a long life, we recommend storing the lithium packs in a cool room (see safety instructions) in a half-charged state. Store the lithium packs turned o󰓐 (the heat level display (Fig. 1.2) is dark) and disconnected from the heatable textile as well as the charger. Caution: Always store the lithium packs with the contact protector installed. For long-term storage, the lithium packs should be discharged and recharged halfway at least every 6 months. This ensures that maximum performance is preserved for many years! Clean the parts as needed with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a
