- One (1) Pair of ActiVHeat Cordless Glove Liners
- At least one PAIR (2) of red rechargeable compact Lithium polymer battery packs
- One (1) Wall-outlet AC Adaptor Power Supply
- One (1) Y-cable charging module with two small plugs and a socket
The battery packs are not charged when you receive them and must be fully charged. This may take up to 6 hours the first time charging.
Maintenance Tip: To prolong the life of the battery packs, charge fully as soon as you receive them.
Charging: Connect the socket on the Y-cable charging module to the plug on end of the cable of the AC Adaptor Power Supply cable and then firmly connect the two Y-cable module plugs into each of the sockets of the battery packs. Then insert the AC Adaptor Power Supply into an active electrical wall-outlet to charge the battery packs. Both battery packs must always be charged at the same time! After the initial charge, the regular charging time is approximately 3 hours.
The two (2) lights on the Y-cable module both light up RED color when charging and then each changes to GREEN color or OFF when fully charged. After the battery packs are fully charged (GREEN or OFF), unplug the AC Power Supply from the electrical wall outlet and disconnect the cables from the battery packs. Store the battery packs in the pocket inside the cuff of the gloves and close the zipper.
When to Recharge the Battery Packs: For best performance, charge the Battery Pack every time right BEFORE using your ActiVHeat cordless gloves. However, you can recharge the Battery Pack whenever it is convenient. The Battery Pack will naturally discharge itself over time, it is best to charge it the same day you plan to use it, or the day before.
To use the ActiVHeat Cordless Glove Liners, open the zipper of the inner in the glove and firmly connect the plug found inside to the socket of the battery. Store the connected battery inside the pouch and close the zipper. Open the tightening strap, pull on the gloves and tighten snugly. Heating is activated by depressing the heat control soft switch located on the top of the gloves for about 3 seconds continuously. The light on the switch will then light up, indicating that the gloves are heating. The temperature can be adjusted by pressing and releasing the heat controller button.

Preparing your Battery packs for Long Term Storage
For best performance it is recommended not leave the battery packs fully charged (full) or fully discharged (empty) if not being used for a long period of time i.e. over the summer (more than a month)! To recharge for storage, charge up for 45 minutes only and unplug the battery packs. After 3 months recharge the battery packs again for about 45 minutes and unplug from the charger. Repeat ever 3 months.
Warning:
Leaving the battery packs over several months without storage recharging may permanently reduce the charge capability of the battery packs and result in only a few minutes of heating time. Recharge the battery packs completely before using again. Only use supplied AC wall charger or other ActiVHeat auto adapter to charge the Battery Packs. Charging the Battery packs with a substitute AC charger may damage the Battery Packs, cause an unsafe condition and will void your warranty.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Always unplug the battery packs when the gloves are not in use. Store the gloves, charger and power supply in a cool, clean and dry place. Only use the supplied power adapter to recharge the gloves. Do not damage the heating elements by excessively stretching the gloves. Do not cut or puncture the gloves. Remove battery packs before washing – battery packs should not be submerged in water. Hand wash, hang dry. Do not place gloves on radiators or any other hot surface! Let the gloves dry completely before use reuse.
HELPFUL INFORMATION:
