4. OPERATION
4.1. CHARGING
Carefully lift the electronics cover (E) to
access the USB-C port (D).
Use the supplied USB-C cable (R) to
charge the device via a USB power source
(e.g., a laptop) or with a USB charger
(see section 1. Warning).
The LED lights (F) indicate the charging
status (see point 4.3).
Remove the USB-C cable as soon as
charging is complete and carefully close
the electronics cover again to prevent
moisture or dirt from penetrating.
ATTENTION
• The LiTRIC® System must be charged for
24 hours prior to first use and after
prolonged storage (e.g storage over the
summer months).
• Continue to charge the LiTRIC® System for
24 hours even if the LED lights (F) indicate
a full charge has been reached (see point
4.3).
• The trigger handle (H) should be locked
(see point 4.4.1) while charging. The
LiTRIC® airbag (B) may deploy if the
trigger handle is pulled when the LED
lights) are on, even during charging.
• Do not leave the USB-C cable plugged in
while the LiTRIC® Avalanche Airbag is in
use in the backcountry.

4.2. ON/OFF FUNCTION
Carefully lift the electronics cover (E).
To turn the system on, press the ON/OFF
button (C) for 2+ seconds. All three LED
lights (F) will light up and there will be a
rising series of beeps when powering on.
Each time the LiTRIC® System is switched
on it will perform an automatic self-test.
The LEDs show that the device is being
charged internally (see point 4.3).
As soon as the system is ready for deploy-
ment, it will automatically run a brief
motor test and shortly afterward the LED
lights will indicate the charge status (see
point 4.3). The LiTRIC® system is now
ready to deploy.
