Safety information

If a Battery Pack leaks, or if electrolyte outflow is noticed, avoid contact with your eyes or skin. In case of
direct contact with eyes or skin, wash the affected area with plenty of water and consult a doctor.

Do not expose the Battery Packs to heavy mechanical impacts (e.g. collision with a ski lift).

Do not use Battery Packs if they are damaged or are clearly wet inside.

Always keep Battery Packs clean and dry.
IMPORTANT: Do not expose Battery Packs to rain!

If the Battery Pack‘s contacts get dirty, wipe them with a clean, dry cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not wash the Battery Pack in washing machine!

Battery Packs must be charged before use. To charge the Battery Packs properly, only use the Global USB
Recharger supplied and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

The Heating Element may become very hot - no matter which setting is applied - when water is in the area
with the electrical contacts; this can result in burns.

Always keep the housing of the Battery Pack dry and avoid water from going inside, otherwise there is an
increased risk of burns (see chapter 2.5, Warning of burns, page 20).

If the Battery Packs LED lights up and cannot be switched off, this may mean that there is water in the area
with the electrical contacts. No matter which heat setting is selected, this can cause the Heat Socks to
become very hot and cause burns. If you feel your foot getting hot, you think you might be getting a burn, or
you feel any early warning sensation of a burn, remove the Battery Pack from the Heat Socks immediately
and remove the Heat Socks from your feet (see chapter 2.5, Warning of burns, page 20).

Do not use the Battery Packs again until the heat settings and LEDs are functioning correctly (see chapter
4.3, Operating settings for Battery Packs XLP P Series, page 26). Exercise caution at all times and watch
out for burns.

If the Battery Packs do not work as expected, or they heats up to a surprising degree, remove them from the
Heat Socks immediately.

Please contact your retailer or the manufacturer if you have any questions or experience any problems.

2.4 Information about the safe use of Heat Socks XLP
CAUTION! There is a risk of burns!
Observe the following safety information in order to safely use Heat Socks XLP.
 Check that the integrated Heating Elements in the Heat Socks are not damaged. Do not continue to use the
Heat Socks if the integrated Heating Elements are damaged.

Observe chapter 2.5, Warning of burns, page 20 and the care instructions in
particular (see chapter 5.2, Care instructions for Heat Socks XLP, page 28).
 IMPORTANT: Do not expose product to rain! Do not put on or use wet Heat Socks.
2.5 Warning of burns
Heat Socks can cause burns. The higher the temperature setting, the higher the risk of burns.
The user is responsible for the following:

Use Heat Socks as instructed.

Be aware of your personal sensitivity to heat and susceptibility to burns.

Do not use on open wounds.

Do not use on sensitive skin areas.

Know your own early warning sensations of a burn.

Remove your feet from the heat source before a burn is suffered.

Heat setting 4 automatically switches back to heat setting 3 after threee minutes. Do not use setting 4 more
than once in succesion as the heat generated can cause burns.

Contact a doctor before using the Heat Socks if you suffers from a physiological condition or are taking
medication or drugs which increase skin sensitivity or reduce the skin's sensation to heat. Such a
physiological condition or medication could increase the risk of burns. Examples of physiological conditions
and medications which can increase skin sensitivity or reduce the skin's sensation to heat are calluses on
feet, diabetes, heart or circulation problems, nerve system disorders, Raynaud's syndrome and tetracycline.
There may also be other physiological conditions or medication which increase skin sensitivity or reduce the
skin's sensation to heat.

Do not wait until your feet are cold before increasing the heat setting. Cold feet reduce the skin‘s sensation
to heat and therefore increase the risk of burns.
