CHARGE AND STATUS OF THE SYSTEM
RECHARGING THE SUPERCAPACITORS
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 port and the standard micro-USB cable (provided). The USB port can be connected to a standard charger (5V -
2A) (not included), like those used for cell phones, or to a standard power bank. 5V - 1A chargers will take 40 minutes, 5V - 2A
chargers will take 20 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.
Red: low charge – the charge level cannot guarantee full inflation of the airbag (but it will still attempt to inflate the airbag as much
as possible)
Orange: medium charge – the charge level guarantees 100 % inflation of the airbag but with less than 6 hours of autonomy.
Green: charging is complete – the LED blinks slowly (1 x every 3 seconds).
NOTE:
• Before the first use, charge the system with the USB port.
• Charging with the USB 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 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 1-3 recharging cycles of the SuperCapacitors (depending on the quality of the batteries used and the
charging temperature).
WARNING: Do not leave the USB cable connected while using the E1 System in the terrain. After charging is complete, remove the USB
cable.
SUMMARY OF LED STATUSES
AUTONOMY OF THE E1 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 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 batteries to ensure
extended autonomy.
If used without batteries and the LEDs status are flashing green, the autonomy is a minimum of 6 h.

Red LED is permanently on and the orange
LED is blinking rapidly ‒> The E1 System is
defective because the auto-test has detected
a malfunction; the system is charging but it is
not operational.
Red LED is permanently on ‒> The E1
System is defective because the auto-test
has detected a malfunction ; the system
