FIRST USE AND CHARGING

Important note:
The battery packs must be charged before using them for the first time.

Charging process (world charger)

1. Plug the charger into a socket. The charge indicator (Fig. 2.2) will light up green. Next, plug both battery packs into the charger. The battery packs can be charged in any operating mode.
2. The charging process begins automatically. The charge indicator (Fig. 2.2) will light up red during the charging process.
3. Once the batteries are fully charged, the charging process is automatically concluded and the LED on the charge indicator (Fig. 2.2) will switch back to green.
4. The charging status can be optionally monitored with the Lenz Heat App* convenient control app.
5. Disconnect both battery packs from the charger.
6. After the charger has been charged and unplugged from the battery packs, they are automatically in the mode which was configured before the charging process was begun. If the battery pack is not used for any further operations, it will turn off automatically after 12 hours.

Important note:

• The percentage indicator in the Lenz Heat App* may show slightly different charging statuses during charging mode, as battery packs are subject to production tolerances by nature. These minimal differences will have no impact on the product’s heating output or heating duration.
• Recharge the battery packs after each use. This extends the service life of the batteries and ensures that the device is always ready for use.
• The battery consists of lithium ion cells and can be charged in any state. For this reason, the battery does not need to be fully discharged before charging.
• The battery pack can be in any operating mode when the charging process is started. (POWER OFF, STANDBY, IN USE)
• The full charging capacity of the battery packs can only be conserved if the battery packs are disconnected from the charger at the end of the charging process.

HEAT SETTING – HEATING PERIOD

The heating period for the heating power level is indicated in the following table for your information.

The heating period per charge depends on the selected heat setting, the ambient temperature and the charging status as well as the age of the batteries.

SERVICE, STORAGE AND CARE

To ensure a long life, we recommend storing the battery packs in a cool room (at temperatures ranging from 5°C / 41°F to 20°C / 68°F) in a semi-charged status. The battery packs must be turned off (heat setting display (Fig. 1.2) dark) and disconnected from the heated sole and charger for storage.
For long-term storage, we recommend discharging and recharging the battery packs halfway at least every 6 months. This ensures that the maximum battery power is preserved for many years!
Clean the parts as needed with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a mild detergent.
Caution:
Always remove the charger from the outlet before cleaning it.
