23. WARNING - Important Information for Users!
The Tech-Air
Off-Road System is an active safety protection system that is
®
different from normal motorcycle clothing and as a result requires additional
care and precautions. You must read and understand this user manual fully
before using the System, as well as pay close attention to the following warnings:
• The System can only provide a limited amount of protection in an accident or event. As
such, there always remains a possibility that a serious or fatal injury could occur even when
using the System.
• Certain types of movement could be interpreted as a crash by the System and cause a
deployment though no crash has occurred.
• The System has been designed to deploy in crashes above a minimum energy threshold.
This is to prevent wasteful use of the charges in situations where protection typically would
not be needed. Thus, in low speed/low energy crashes it is likely and reasonable that the
System will not deploy.
• Do not attempt to make any modifications or adjustments to the electronics and to the
System.
• The System must only be used for motorcycle street riding when in Street Mode, and
for off-road use when in Enduro or Rally Mode. This System is NOT to be used for any
other purpose, motorcycle-related or otherwise. This includes: Road Racing, Flat-Track
competitions, Supermoto, performing stunts and any type of non-motorcycling activity.
Wearing the System during any non- intended activity (with the unit switched on) may
cause the System to deploy and cause injury or death to you or others and may cause
damage to property. Alpinestars does not accept any claims for malfunctions of the System
used outside the environments for which its use is intended.
• When not in use and being stored, transported the System must be turned off by keeping
the Activation Zip (1) open and unzipped.
• When shipped by air, the System must be turned off and put in Shipping Mode, as reported
in Section 17.
