This specific product line has been developed to offer you the best comfort and fit. SCOTT Sports SA shall not accept any complaints arising from using the product for other purposes than that indicated in the present information notice, nor shall they be liable for any damages and / or losses due to improper use.

• II. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS This SCOTT product is considered to be an item of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) of Category II, and as such is subject to the requirements laid down by the Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and Regulation (EU) 2016/425 as brought into UK law and amended. RELEVANT STANDARDS This product meets the testing and technical requirements set out by the standard EN 16716 : 2017 (please refer to the label- ling inside the product).

• III. INTENDED USE AND LIMITATIONS This SCOTT product is strictly limited for the respective use indicated by the pictograms on the certified label on the product (see chapter IV. Product Information). The protector is not to be used for other kinds of sports. The intended and reasonably foreseeable use of this product is solely : wintersports and mountaineering. IT CANNOT BE USED IN WATER. A. RISK AGAINST WHICH THE PPE IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT This SCOTT product is a protective equipment for emergency situations. Under certain conditions, it can prevent a total burial, if activated. The airbag’s shape protects the back and the head of the user. It cannot prevent the release of an ava

lanche. An element of deadly risk remains even if the user doesn’t get buried. Every avalanche is absolutely life threatening regardless of any protective equipment. Therefore this SCOTT product should not encourage you to take greater risks.

B. LEVEL OF PROTECTION

These SCOTT Products have been designed within the requirements of the European safety standard EN 16716:2017: “Mountaineering equipment - Avalanche airbag systems - Safety requirements and test methods”.

C. PERFORMANCE RECORDED

In the event of an avalanche, the user must tug on the trigger handle in order to activate the inflation: this inflates the 162 litres avalanche airbag within 3 seconds. The SCOTT product concept is based on the physical principle of inverse segregation. This is a phenomenon whereby, giv

en a uniformly moving mass of particles, the smaller particles sink downwards and the larger ones float to the surface. The inflated airbag increases the victim’s volume and greatly amplifies this inverse segregation effect. Moreover, the rounded shape gives optimal float efficiency on the avalanche and the bright airbag color helps rapid localization. D. MISUSES Changes in environmental conditions such as temperature and wetness could significantly reduce the performance of the protector. Never tamper with any part of the protectors. Do not paint the protector nor use colorants of any nature. The product is designed to operate between the temperatures of - 30°C and + 40°C. We recommend that the SCOTT product should not be left outside, exposed to low temperatures or direct sunlight before use. Any product modifications may cause loss of protection and are therefore considered as improper use.ENGLISH -6 7- ENGLISH

• VIII. ELECTRONICS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION A. SUPERCAPACITORS The E2 Avalanche Airbag System is the first avalanche airbag that does not use lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries to fuel the compressor’s electric motor. The E2 System uses its SuperCapacitors to store energy in the form of an electrostatic field. Unlike traditional batteries, there is no need to create a chemical reaction to generate energy, allowing the E2 System to release its power faster. The E2’s SuperCapacitors offer several advantages over batteries. They are not sensitive to changes in temperature, deliv

ering the same performance at - 30°C and + 40°C. This saves weight because there is no need to boost the SuperCapacitors to guarantee outstanding performance at low temperatures. While batteries tend to wear out after repeated charges, the SuperCapacitors stay strong. They are guaranteed for 500,000 charging cycles with a nearly infinite lifespan, clearly superior to the 3- to 5-year lifespan of the average battery. What’s more, the SuperCapacitors are considered passive electronic elements, like cameras for example, so there are no restrictions to travel, nor shipping.

B. THE RADIAL COMPRESSOR

The E2 System uses a radial compressor, similar to turbo compressors found in cars. This design allows for high-speed air flow and inflation pressure equal to compressed air cartridge avalanche airbag systems. C. BATTERIES The E2 SuperCapacitors System uses two AA batteries for two primary purposes :

1- to recharge the SuperCapacitors

2- to guarantee that the SuperCapacitors keep their full power, compensating for their slow loss of charge and ensuring

several months of autonomy (see section     IX.C.) NOTE : Only alkaline or lithium (AA batteries) should be used (for quick recharging at very low temperatures). Use brand new, premium quality Alkaline AA / LR6 batteries. Do not use AA zinc carbon batteries and NiCd or NiMH accumulators (rechargeable). These are often not strong enough to sufficiently charge the SuperCapacitors. Depending on the AA batteries technology, recharge and autonomy can vary :

• Alkaline batteries : – are capable of 1 recharge OR 3 months autonomy of normal use (1.5 month if constantly on). – it is strongly recommended to change the batteries after 1 recharge of the system.

• Lithium batteries : – are capable of 3 recharges OR 5 months autonomy of normal use (3 months if constantly on). – it is strongly recommended to change the batteries after 3 recharges of the system.

There are two ways to recharge the SuperCapacitors : 1- Insert the two AA batteries (not included). The SuperCapacitors will be automatically recharged once the batteries are in place. Depending on the type of batteries and the temperature, charging takes 40-80 minutes.

2- Use the micro-USB-C port (5V – 3A) and the standard micro-USB cable (provided). The USB-C port can be connected

to a standard charger (not included), like those used for cell phones, or to a standard power bank. Depending on the type of charger or power bank, charging takes 20-40 minutes. The charging status is indicated by the rapid blinking of the LEDs (2 x per second). The level of charge is indicated by the LED color (see section     X.B.). NOTE :

• Before the first use, charge the system with the USB-C port. After prolonged storage without batteries (e.g., over the sum

mer or a new system), charging the SuperCapacitors will take longer than after inflation. After inflation there is still energy in the SuperCapacitors, but after prolonged storage without batteries, the SuperCapacitors will be completely empty.

• Charging with the USB-C cable takes priority over the batteries. If the batteries are in place and the cable is connected, charging will be carried out via the cable without draining the batteries.

• Charging is also possible without batteries using the USB-C cable.

• If the system is charging in OFF mode, the LEDs will not blink but charging will continue.

• The system recharges automatically. If the airbag is inflated, the system will begin to recharge on the batteries or the USB port immediately.

• 2 x AA batteries allow for 1-2 recharging cycles of the SuperCapacitors (depending on the quality of the batteries used and the charging temperature).

WARNING : Do not leave the USB-C cable connected while using the E2 System in the terrain. After charging is com

Red LED is permanently on The E2 System is defective because the auto-test has detected a malfunction ; the system is not operational.

C. AUTONOMY OF THE E2 SYSTEM

The system’s autonomy depends on the quality and energy of the AA batteries and the frequency and duration of use in ON or OFF mode. The times listed below assume the use of high-quality alkaline batteries :

• Approx. 2-3 months of autonomy with two new AA alkaline batteries not including recharge of the SuperCapacitors (new batteries inserted after recharging the SuperCapacitors)

• The system can be used without additional AA batteries. However we strongly suggest to always use it with the batter

ies to ensure extended autonomy. NOTE : If the system is charged with the USB-C and used without batteries, it will only have a maximum autonomy of 12 to 24 hours, which is perfectly normal because the AA batteries ensure the autonomy of the E2.

To turn on the E2 System, use the ON / OFF switch. This safe- ty switch prevents undesired activation inside the bag. Pull the switch up, turn it clockwise and hold for 2 seconds. Each time it is turned on, the E2 System conducts an auto- test to verify that the motor, SuperCapacitors and electron

ics are functioning properly. During this auto-test, the 3 LEDs light up chronologically to check that the LEDs are functioning. Simultaneously, the LCD display blinks to check that the LCD display is working properly and all icons are visible. During this auto-test, the motor completes a first rotation at low speed, switching on the green LED. The motor rotates a second time and the green / orange LED blinks The system is ready for use. The motor rotates 4x and the red LED remains ON There is a problem in the system and it is not operational. If the system detects a malfunction and it is charging, the red LED remains ON and the orange LED blinks rapidly. If there is a failure during the auto-test, this icon will be displayed on the LCD. To turn the system OFF, pull the switch and turn it clockwise (same procedure as for turning ON). The motor will rotate 1 x and the red LED will turn on and off again to indicate that the system has shut down.ENGLISH -10 11- ENGLISH

B. TERRAIN USE AND LED STATUSES

Before every use of the E2 System, you will need to :

1- Turn ON the E2 System (see section  

2- Verify that the auto-test is okay (see section  

  X.A.) If the green LED blinks, the system is operational with at least six hours of autonomy If the orange LED blinks, the system is operational with less than six hours of autonomy. If the red LED blinks, the system cannot guarantee 100% inflation (but it will still attempt to inflate the airbag as much as possible) If the red LED remains on, the system is defective and should not be used. NOTE : The LED blinking speed indicates that the system is either charging (2 x per second) or in standard ON mode (1 x every 3 seconds).

D. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

The pressure relief valve is an electric valve and is active 3 minutes after the inflation for a maximum of 10 minutes or less depending on the residual energy in the batteries or SuperCapacitors. It will then close automatically. The purpose of this valve is to reduce the airbag pressure 3 minutes after inflation. This is to reduce the stress on the seams and fabric of the airbag, ensuring a longer lifespan inflation after inflation. The pressure relief valve also allows passive and partial deflation of the airbag by reducing its pressure but does not allow complete deflation of the airbag. The operation of the pressure relief valve is controlled 3x during each auto-test and can be clearly heard from the charac

In the event of an avalanche, pull hard (between 5 to 10 kg) on the activation trigger. The airbag will inflate in 3-4 seconds. The compressor will operate for 5 seconds and then stop. The airbag will remain inflated for a minimum of 3 minutes (according to EN 16716) then the pressure relief valve will be activated, and a passive and partial deflation of the airbag will take place. An avalanche airbag is not a life vest; therefore, it is normal that it does not remain inflated at full pressure for more than three minutes. Once inflation is complete, the SuperCapacitors will automatically recharge thanks to the two AA batteries if installed (see section     VIII.)

F. DURING AN AVALANCHE INCIDENT

In the event of an avalanche, always try to reach a place of safety or escape from the path of the snowslip. Try also to re- move your skis or snowboard, as these have an anchoring effect in an avalanche. Once the avalanche appears to be losing momentum, close your mouth and hold your arms in front of your face to create a life-saving air pocket. Once the avalanche has stopped moving and you can extract yourself, do not remove the airbag to help others. Only remove the backpack when you are confident there is no more risk of a second avalanche.

• XI. DEFLATING AND RE-FOLDING THE AIRBAG The airbag should be deflated using the airbag’s draining knob. Lift the safety cover of the deflation button and press the button to deflate the airbag. Once the airbag is deflated, the springs on the safety cover automatically close it.

WARNING : The deflation button is equipped with an orange

indicator to ensure that the deflation button has returned to the upper position and thus does not keep the check valve in the deflation position. If the orange indicator is visible, this means that the deflation button has not returned to the initial position and could keep the check valve open. In this case, check that snow or ice is not blocking the deflation button in the pressed position. Do not use the E2 if the deflation button is jammed (orange indicator visible). After each deflation, check that the or

ange indicator is not visible.
