The Tech-Air® 10 System does not offer the Dual Charge Concept.
Once the airbag has deployed there is no additional airbag charge.
This means that the User of the System is without further airbag
protection until the System is serviced, and the airbag canisters are
replaced.
The System, including its components, are technologically advanced
pieces of motorcycling safety equipment and should not be treated
like a normal motorcycle garment. Similar to one’s motorcycle,
the System and its components must be cared for, serviced and
maintained, so that they may function correctly.
The System MUST be used in combination with an outer protective
garment, compatible with the System (see Section 8).

The Tech-Air® 10 System is an active safety system which can be used by a
motorcycle user, both as a rider or passenger.
When the Street Mode is selected, the System can be used for road riding
and light off-road riding situations (subject to the Off-Road limitations
indicated in Section 3 below).
Without any additional notice, Alpinestars reserves all rights to, from time
to time, update the software and/or the electronic components of the Tech-
Air® 10 System.
2. Principles of Operation
The System consists of an Airbag Electronic Control Unit (with built-in sensors) integrated
into the back protector, and two external sensors positioned on the shoulders (Figure 1). The
cluster of sensors consists of 3 triaxial accelerometers (1 positioned on the back protector
and 2 positioned on the shoulders) and 1 triaxial gyroscope (positioned on the back
protector). These sensors monitor the user’s body for shocks or unexpected movements. In
the event the user’s body is subject to a high and/or sudden amount of energy, the System
will deploy. This may occur when the motorcycle is involved in an accident, such as when
the motorcycle collides with another vehicle or with an object, when the rider loses control
or when the rider falls off the motorcycle.
The System is equipped with a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device located in the Electronic
Control Unit (ECU). The BLE allows the System to connect directly to a mobile phone in
order to receive important information from the System, while also permitting the users to
access a number of other functions (for further information see “Tech-Air® App” in Section
17). The System does NOT need to be connected to the Tech-Air® App for the System to
work, it functions independently of the Tech-Air® App.

To connect the System to the mobile phone via Bluetooth, remember to
activate the Bluetooth module within your phone and to download the Tech-
Air® App available at the Android Play Store or at the Apple Store.
