Charging and Use Times
Approximately six hours are required to recharge a discharged battery with the supplied charger.
A fully charged battery will provide approximately 25 hours of use. If time is limited, charging
the battery for approximately one hour will provide approximately three to four hours of use.
Battery Life
If the system is not in regular use it is required to recharge the battery at least once every 12
months to prevent the battery dropping below a minimum charge after which the battery life
would be notably reduced.
WARNING! The unit should be recharged as soon as possible when the red
Battery Level LED light (11c) flashes, as this indicates low battery level.
Tip: The unit may be charged by connecting it to a computer, or to an alternative
Micro USB charger, however if the current output is under 2 Amps then charging
times will be longer than stated above.
12. Race Mode Operation
Turning On
1. Check that the Master switch (8) has been switched to the ‘I’ position (See section 8).
2. Put on the Compatible Suit/Jacket, but do not zip it closed.
3. Close the activation flap(18). This is best done by covering the velcro tab with your
thumb and letting the magnets snap together first, then engage the velcro.
4. At this point the system will turn on – check that the LED Display (11) illuminates.
5. Close the outer zip of the Compatible Suit/Jacket.
6. Continue to follow the LED Display indications (Section 13 below) to check that the
system starts correctly.
Tip: If the system does not power on (No LED Indications illuminate) check
that there is nothing in between the two activation flaps and that the two
flaps are correctly overlaid.
Tip: The Activation Flap (18) functions using magnets. Magnetically sensitive
items (such as credit cards) should be kept at least 1 cm away from the sensor
area.
WARNING! In order to activate the Tech-Air™ Race airbag system, the Master
Switch (8) must be turned on (“I” position) AND the activation flap (18) of the
Alpinestars’ Compatible Suit/Jacket must be closed.
