HEAT SOCKS XLP ONE
Control and operation
4.2.3 Rapid discharge function
The rapid discharge function is only to be used to check whether the Battery
Packs XLP ONE and Heat Socks XLP ONE are working correctly.
Attach the Battery Packs XLP ONE you want to check to the 3 snap
connector on the Heat Socks XLP ONE.
WARNING!
The rapid discharge function must not be used to warm up feet as the
Heat Socks XLP ONE can get very hot and this can cause burns (see
chapter 2.5, Warning of burns, page 16).
Set to heat setting 4 (see chapter 4.2, Operating settings for Battery
Packs XLP ONE, page 21).

for 0.2 second to return to heat setting 1.
for 2.5 seconds to switch the Battery Packs XLP ONE to OFF.
Also, the Battery Packs XLP ONE automatically switches to OFF when
fully discharged.
4.3 Using the Heat Socks XLP ONE
The Heat Socks XLP ONE help keep your feet warm.
Do not let your feet get cold first. Warming up cold feet uses more energy, is less effective and is not the way the
Heat Socks XLP ONE should be used.
Set the heat setting to 1, 2 or 3 before going into the cold to help keep your feet warm.
Set the Heat Socks to heat setting 4 for an extra burst of heat, also known as „Boost Setting 4“. Heat setting 4
automatically switches back to heat setting 3 after three minutes.
4.4 Tips for using the Heat Socks XLP ONE
It may be necessary for people with extremely poor circulation or during very cold weather to use heat setting 2 or
3 as the default setting in order to prevent feet from getting cold. If this is the case, an extra pair of Packs XLP ONE
may be helpful to ensure warm feet for the whole day.
Do not let the chair lift hit you! Otherwise you could sustain an injury or damage your Battery Packs XLP ONE.
Choosing the right boot size is important in order to help keep your feet warm. Boots that are too tight obstruct good
circulation and may reduce your comfort and warmth.
Dry boots, dry socks
If your boots are wet, your feet will get cold too.
Wet conductive heat loss is 23 times greater than dry heat loss. (W. L. Gore & Associates, 1994).
Keep your boots dry! Dry after each use! Every day in which moisture is allowed to collect makes the task of
keeping feet warm more difficult. A shoe dryer may be advisable in certain circumstances (e.g. Hotronic's
Snapdry Boot & Glove Dryer).
Take out the liners so that the space between the insole and the shoe shell can dry properly.
Keep the Heat Socks XLP ONE clean and dry!
4.5 What to expect of heat settings
Expect imperceptible heat to maintain your comfort and warmth.
Do not expect to feel “fireplace toes”.
Learn what personally works best for you over time.
Think of your Heat Socks XLP ONE as Thermo Active Insulation (TM). As the cold penetrates through your
insole, it draws heat off the Heating Element rather than your toes. Balanced heat is imperceptible yet
maintains your comfort and warmth. Too much heat and your feet feel excess heat. Too little heat and your
feet feel the your cold penetrating through.
