BERTSCHAT Heated Mittens PRO Single Heating

Product Information

The Heated Mittens Pro – Single Heating is a pair of mittens designed to provide warmth and comfort in cold weather conditions.  These mittens feature a heating function that can be adjusted to different temperature settings. The mittens are equipped with a button on the side that allows you to switch on and control the heating function. There are three LED indicators that show the current temperature setting. When all three LEDs are visible, the mittens are heating at maximum power. Two or one LED indicates heating at lower levels, which helps conserve battery life. Pressing the button again at the lowest level turns off the heating function. The temperature settings can be adjusted by pressing the silicon button on the mittens. The LEDs on the button light up to indicatethe active setting. The highest position corresponds to three LEDs, the medium position corresponds to two LEDs, and the lowest position corresponds to one LED. When the LED does not light up, it means that the heating function is switched off.  The operating time of the mittens depends on various factors such as the ambient temperature and the level of insulation provided by additional mittens worn over them. Higher temperature settings will deplete the batteries faster than lower settings. It is recommended to consider ordering an additional battery pack for longer use time. To switch off the heating function, either press the ON/OFF buttons until the LEDs no longer light up or disconnect the batteries. After using the mittens, always disconnect the batteries and store them in their designated pockets. Store the mittens and batteries in a dry and clean environment at room temperature. For washing instructions, it is advised to avoid washing the mittens. If cleaning is necessary, spot-clean the fabric without submerging the mittens in water. If any damage is noticed on the fabric or if the heating wire becomes visible, discontinue use and contact your supplier immediately.

10. If any damage is noticed on the fabric or if the heating wire becomes visible, discontinue use and contact your supplier immediately.

BEFORE FIRST USE

The batteries are not fully charged and must therefore be charged before first use for 8 hours minimum, regardless of the colour of the indicator LED. To get started insert the charger plugs in the charging ports of the batteries. Fully charging the batteries activates them, thus allowing the full capacity to be accessed. The LED on the charger lights up in red during charging and turns green once the battery is fully charged. Finally, remove the batteries from the charger, place them in the appropriate pockets in the mittens and connect them to the plugs.

SWITCHING ON THE HEATING

The mittens are switched on by pressing the button on the side. After that, pressing the button again changes the temperature settings. When 3 LEDs are visible the mittens are heating at maximum power while 2 or 1 LED indicates heating at the lower levels, allowing for longer battery life. Pressing once more at the lowest level turns the heating function off. A sensor in the shirt ensures that the temperature always remains at the set value.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

The temperature can be set by pressing the silicon button. When in use the LEDs on the button light up according to which setting is active:

Colour LED| Heating position|
---|---|---
3 LEDS| Highest position
2 LEDS| Medium position
1 LEDS| Lowest position
LED does not light up| Heating function switched off

OPERATING TIME

The heating duration of the under mittens depends on several factors: primarily the ambient temperature and secondly, the level of insulation added by mittens worn over the under mittens. Lastly, a high setting will obviously deplete the batteries faster than any of the lower settings. It should also be noted that the batteries only reach their full charging capacity after a few charging cycles. Consider ordering an additional battery pack for longer use time.
SWITCHING OFF
The heating function is switched off by pressing the ON/OFF buttons until the LEDs no longer light up or alternatively by simply disconnecting the batteries. After use of the mittens, always disconnect the batteries and keep them stored in their intended pockets. Store the mittens and the batteries in a dry and clean environment at room temperature.

STORAGE AND BATTERY MAINTENANCE

If you don’t intend on using the mittens for a longer period, we recommended storing the batteries charged between 50 and 75%. To do this first fully charge the batteries, then switch on only one side of the mittens at the medium setting  for 20 – 30 minutes. Finally make sure to disconnect the batterie from the mittens. We urge to repeat these steps every 2 months to ensure that the batteries remain in good condition.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

•  Always switch off the mittens after use.
•  Disconnect the batteries when not in use.
•  Store mittens, battery, and adapter in a cool and dry location.
•  The batteries should only be charged with the original charger.
•  Always remove the battery from the mittens before charging them.
• Never pull too hard on the mittens as the heating elements could get damaged.
•  Keep the shirt away from sharp or pointed objects.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

•  The mittens cannot be washed. Should they get dirty we advise to clean them with a wet cloth.
•  Only allow the mittens to dry naturally and do not place them on the heating or any other heat source.
•  If the mittens are damp, allow them to dry fully before charging.
•  Do not dry clean the mittens.
•  Do not iron the mittens.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you notice that the mittens do not get warm, you can do the following test:

•  Charge both batteries at the same time and interchange batteries. This determines whether the battery or the mitten is no longer functioning properly.
•  Does the LED on the charging cable not light up? The plug or charging cable is defective and does not receive any power.
•  Insert both connectors in the mittens in the ports of the batteries. Now place the batteries in the pockets inside the mittens and then close the zip.
•  The heating is switched on when pressing the black silicon ON/OFF button on the top of the mittens. The LED on the silicon button lights up to confirm that the heating function is switched on.
•  When the LED is lit up the mittens are heating: you should be able to feel the generated heat within 1 minute at the fingers and at the top of the mittens.
