B. AUTONOMY
The vest has 25h of autonomy when switched on. It automatically switches to sleep
mode when no movement is detected for about 45 seconds. To recharge the vest
you need to use the supplied USB cable coupled to a 5V T.B.T.S. voltage source. It is
recommended to recharge the vest every week (see page 26 to recharge the vest).
The fork sensor has an autonomy of around 5 years (not rechargeable). However,
it is recommended to check the battery level of the sensor regularly (once a month).
To check whether the sensor is still active, simply position the magnet on the round
sensor slot:
Green LED on fork sensor > Battery OK / Red LED on fork sensor > Battery low, fork
sensor needs to be replaced. / No LED: No battery, sensor is no longer operational and
needs to be replaced.
C. THE E-CARTRIDGE
The airbag is sold with a new e-cartridge ready to work. The e-cartridge is for single
use only and must be replaced after each inflation. We recommend to store 1 or 2
e-cartridges and keep them available in the event of an accident. It is possible to order
e-cartridges online on our website www.helite.com or at one of our dealers.
CAUTION
y The e-cartridges are for single use only and must be replaced after each inflation.
y The e-cartridges to be used are only Helite GG 60 or GG 100 e-cartridges
(depending on the size of your vest).
y Never connect the e-cartridge before it is completely screwed into the black
cylinder (see page 29).
y The e-cartridge should be stored and used in temperatures below 60°C. Do not
leave full e-cartridges in the car in high temperatures for example.
y Never let the e-cartridge fall down.
y If rust or other corrosive marks appear on the outer surface of the e-cartridge,
change it immediately and discard the e-cartridge. Never cut the e-cartridge.
y Do not throw the e-cartridge into fire.
y It is important to weigh the e-cartridge once a year (see page 30).
