Caring For Your System

The TCi system is water resistant but not waterproof.  The general rule is 

if you can train in the weather conditions, the system can function.  If it 

is raining too hard to train, take the system out of the rain.  If components 

get wet, let them air dry before putting them back into the foam holder.  

If components get really wet, remove batteries until dry. If not using the 

system for an extended period, remove batteries to prevent leakage and 

corrosion.

*Using the Touch Pad with your feet will accelerate wear*
