BERTSCHAT PRO Heated Shirt

Product Information: Heated Shirt

The Heated Shirt is a wearable garment that provides warmth and comfort in cold weather conditions. It features a heating function that can be controlled through buttons on the sleeve. The shirt has LED indicators to display the temperature settings and battery level.

Product Usage Instructions

To switch on the heating function, press the button on thesleeve.
Pressing the button again will change the temperaturesettings.
When 3 LEDs are visible, the shirt is heating at maximumpower.
2 or 1 LED indicates heating at lower levels, allowing forlonger battery life.
Press the button once more at the lowest level to turn off theheating function.
A sensor in the shirt ensures that the temperature alwaysremains at the set value.

After usage, always disconnect the battery connector and store the battery in the designated pocket on the shirt. Keep the batteries in a dry and clean place at room temperature.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact your supplier.

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 one in the appropriate pocket in the shirt and connect it to the plug.

SWITCHING ON THE HEATING

The shirt is switched on by pressing the button on the sleeve. After that, pressing the button again changes the tem-perature settings. When 3 LEDs are visible the shirt is 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.

OPERATING TIME

The heating duration of the shirt depends on several factors: primarily the ambient temperature and secondly the level of insulation worn over the heated shirt. 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 button on the shirt until the LEDs no longer light up or alternatively by simply disconnecting the batteries.
After use of the shirt, always disconnect the battery and keep them stored in the pocket of the shirt intended for that purpose. Store the shirt and the batteries in a dry and clean environment at room temperature.

STORAGE AND BATTERY MAINTENANCE

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

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

Always switch off the shirt after use.
Disconnect the battery when not in use.
Store shirt, 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 shirt before charging it.
Never pull the shirt too hard, the heating elements could get damaged.
Keep the shirt away from sharp or pointed objects.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

Only wash by hand! Use a soft washing agent and handle the shirt with care.
Only allow the shirt to dry naturally and do not place it on the heating or any other heat source.
If the shirt is damp, allow it to dry fully before charging.
Do not dry clean the shirt.
Do not iron the shirt.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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

Fully charge the battery. Check that the LED on the charger lights up in green/red.
Insert the connector plug of the shirt in port on the battery intended for this purpose. Now place the battery back in the storage pocket on the right side of the shirt.
The heating is switched on when pressing the black silicon ON/OFF button on the sleeve. The LED on the silicon button lights up to confirm that the heating function is switched on.
If the LED lights up, the shirt is heating: the heat from the shirt should be felt after about 1 minute.
If you have several batteries, interchange them.
Is the shirt still not functioning? Please contact your supplier.

DISPOSING OF THE BATTERIES
As we also supply batteries with our product, we are obliged according to legislation that applies to batteries to point out the following to you:
Batteries may not be disposed of as household waste. The consumer is legally obliged to return batteries separately after use. Old batteries could contain harmful substances that could damage your health or the environment if not properly stored and disposed of. However, batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manga-nese, or nickel and can be reused. After use, you can return the batteries to us or hand them in for free at a location near you (e.g., at a shop or a municipal collection point). The crossed waste container symbol indicates that batteries should never be thrown out with your household waste.
