Storage
Differently from other Alpinestars' Tech-Air Systems, the System does not come with an
integrated back-protector. For this reason, the System can be easily folded to facilitate its
transport, for example, the System can be easily stored inside the top case or the side bags
of the motorcycle.
When not in use, it is recommended that users store the System in its original packaging.
It may be stored flat provided that no heavy or sharp objects are placed on top of it. The
System can also be stored hung up on a hanger. The System should always be stored in a
cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.
The battery of the System slowly self-discharges, even if the System is not turned on,
especially if the System is stored in a warm environment. It is thus recommended that even
whilst in storage, the System be periodically recharged (at least once every 18 months) to
prevent battery drainage and shortening of the battery life.
IMPORTANT!
If the battery becomes fully drained, the System may require a longer
time to recharge. It is thus recommended that the System be periodically
recharged as indicated.
WARNING!
Do NOT leave the System in direct sunlight inside a closed car, or
otherwise exposed to high temperatures. High temperatures will
damage the battery and possibly the electronic components of the
unit.
WARNING!
Zipping up the vest and closing the Activation Zip (1) will cause
the System to switch on. To prevent this, it is essential that the
Activation Zip (1) is open, in order to prevent accidental activations
of the System. Failure to do so will cause the System to switch on,
which will cause the battery to drain. When storing the System
remember to keep the Activation Zip (1) open and check that there
are no indicator lights illuminated on the LED Display (2).
WARNING!
The System's storage temperature must be between -20°C and +60°C
(-4°F to 140°F). Exposure to a temperature lower than -20°C (-4°F)
may cause permanent damage to the battery.
