For this reason, pay attention to these safety notes and include these instructions when handing over the product to others.
This heating pad must not be used by people who are not sensi-tive to heat or by vulnerable people who may not be able to react to overheating (e.g. diabetics, persons with skin changes related to illness or persons with scarred skin in the area where the pad is to be applied, after taking any pain-relieving medication or alcohol).
This heating pad may not be used by very young children (0 – 3 years old) as they are unable to respond to overheating.
The heat pad can be used by children older than 3 and younger than 8 years of age provided they are supervised. For this, the control must always be set to the minimum temperature.
This heating pad may be used by children over the age of 8 and by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental skills or a lack of experience or knowledge, provided that they are supervised and have been instructed on how to use the heating pad safely, and are fully aware of the consequent risks of use.
Children must not play with the heating pad.
Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children unless supervised.
This heating pad is not designed for use in hospitals.

Intended use
IMPORTANT: This heating pad is only designed to warm up the human body.

Initial use

Safety

IMPORTANT
The heating pad is fitted with a SAFETY SWITCH-OFF. A sensor prevents the heating pad from over-heating by means of automatic switch-off in the event of an error. Once the SAFETY SWITCH-OFF has taken place, the blue LED display for the temperature settings (6) that is shown when switched on is no longer lit up. After cooling down to room temperature, the heating pad can be switched on again.

Charging the battery pack

IMPORTANT: The battery pack (2) must be charged prior to initial use or if the device has not been used for a long period.

To do this, insert the charger (1) into a socket with the mains voltage corresponding to the specifications on the charger.
Connect the connector plug of the charger (4) to the connection socket on the battery pack (3). When charging, the green LED display for the state of charge (7) flashes on the battery pack.
The battery pack is fully charged when the green display for the state of charge is permanently lit (it takes approx. 2 – 3 hours to fully charge an empty battery pack).
The green LED display for the state of charge of the battery pack goes out once the battery pack has been disconnected from the charger.
The battery pack should be charged at least 1x per year to maintain its capacity.
While charging, do not cover the battery pack with covers, cushions or similar items.
Only charge the battery pack in a dry environment at normal room temperature.

Checking the state of charge of the battery pack
The heating pad must not be connected to the battery pack.
Press the button for controlling ON/OFF and temperature settings (8)

If the green LED display for the state of charge (7) lights up for 3 sec.: the battery pack has more than 25% charging capacity.
If the green LED display for the state of charge (7) flashes 3x 1 sec.: the battery pack has less than 25%charging capacity.

Operating the heating pad

Insert the charged battery pack (2) into the integrated pouch in the heating pad with the rounded side facing forward. Then insert the connector plug for the connection cable (5) of the heating pad into the connection socket on the battery pack (3). The heating pad is now ready for use.
Place the heating pad on your stomach or on your back with the light oval facing towards your body. Subsequently guide the right strap of the heating pad around the body and secure the heating pad by closing the hook-and-loop fastener.

Operating the heating pad

IMPORTANT
Ensure that the heating pad will not bunch up or become folded during use.

Switching on
Switch on the heating pad by pressing the button for controlling ON/OFF and temperature settings (8). The blue LED display for temperature setting 1 lights up. Press the button repeatedly to increase the tem-perature setting.
The corresponding blue LED displays for the temperature settings (6) light up. Press the button again to switch off the heating pad.

Switching sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, OFF, 1, ……
When switched on, the blue LED display for the temperature settings is lit up.

NOTE

The fastest way to warm up the heating pad is to initially set the highest temperature setting.
This heating pad has a fast heating function, which allows the heating pad to warm up quickly in the first 10 minutes.
When the battery pack (2) has been almost completely run down, the heating pad is switched off automatically to protect the battery pack. The battery pack must then be charged.

WARNING
If the heating pad is being used over several hours, we recommend that you set the lowest temperature setting on the battery pack (2) to avoid overheating the heated body part, which may lead to burns to the skin.

Setting the temperature
Setting 1: minimum heat
Setting 2 – 3: medium heat
Setting 4: maximum heat

Switching off
Press the button for controlling ON/OFF and temperature settings (8) to switch off the heating pad. The switching sequence is 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – OFF … The blue LED display for the temperature settings (6) goes out when the heating pad is switched off.

NOTE: Please note that the battery pack must be protected against extreme cold (such as being placed under clothing) to maintain its performance.

Automatic switch-off time
This heating pad is equipped with an automatic switch-off function. This turns off the heat supply approx. 90 minutes after the initial use. The blue LED display for the temperature settings (6) is no longer lit up after this. You can switch the heating pad on again immediately by pressing the button for controlling ON/OFF and tempera-ture settings (8). If the heating pad can no longer be switched on, then the battery pack (2) has been run down.

Cleaning and maintenance

IMPORTANT

Prior to cleaning, you must always disconnect the battery pack (2) from the heating pad and remove it from the heating pad pouch, otherwise there is a risk of damage.
The battery pack (2) must never come into contact with water or other liquids, as this may cause damage.
To clean the battery pack, use a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaning agents.
Please note that the heating pad may not be dry cleaned, wrung out, tumble dried, put through a mangle or ironed. Otherwise the heating pad may be damaged.
This heating pad is machine-washable. For this purpose, close the hook-and- loop fastener of the heating pad and place it in a pillow case. Set the washing machine to a particularly gentle wash cycle at 30 °C (wool cycle). For ecological reasons, always wash the heating pad together with other textiles.
Use a delicate laundry detergent and measure it out according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Please note that frequent washing of the heating pad has a negative effect on the product.
The heating pad should therefore be washed in a washing machine a maximum of 10 times during its life. Let the heating pad dry flat on a clothes horse.
Do not use pegs or similar items to attach the heating pad to the clothes horse, otherwise the heating pad may be damaged.
Only reconnect the heating pad to the battery pack (2) once the heating pad and the connector plug of the connection cable (5) are completely dry, otherwise this could damage them.

Storage

If you do not plan to use the heating pad for a long period of time, we recommend that you store it in the original packaging.

IMPORTANT

Please allow the heating pad to cool down before storing. Otherwise the heating pad may be damaged.
To avoid making sharp bends in the heating pad, do not place any objects on top of it whilst storing.
The battery pack should be charged 1x per year to maintain its capacity.
