WARNING!
In case of use of a charger different from that supplied with the System,
for a safe operation always insure that the used USB charger is compliant
to EN 62368-1 as a class 1 (ES1) and class 1 (PS1) or 2 (PS2) power source,
with a maximum output current of 2 Amperes.
WARNING!
The System should be recharged as soon as possible when the red Battery
Level LED light (3c) flashes, as this indicates a low battery level.
12. System Operation
a) Turning On "Street Mode" and "Race Mode"
To turn on the System, zip up the Magnetic Zip Closure (1) and close the Front Flap (2)
with Alpinestars logo taking care that hook-and-loop patches are correctly attached. An
internal magnetic switch will detect that the Front Flap (2) is closed and the System will
turn on. At this point, the user MUST check the LED Display (3) to verify that the System
starts correctly. See "Display Indications" in Section 13 below for the meanings of the LED
indicator lights.
Tip:
If the System does not power on (no LED Indications illuminate) first check
that the Front Flap (2) has been correctly closed, and be sure that the
battery has charge. If the problem persists, contact Tech-Air
Section 19 "Tech-Air
WARNING!
In order to activate the Tech-Air® 5 System, the Front Flap (2) must be
correctly closed taking care that the hook-and-loop patches are correctly
attached.
b) System Check and activation for "Street Mode" and "Race Mode"
After the System is turned on correctly, the System starts performing a System Check. This
will be indicated by the solid yellow (3b) and green (3a) LED indicator lights. During such a
System Check the System will not deploy. This phase may take several seconds.
Whilst the System Check is being performed the System is looking for the body movements
to conduct one or all of the following activities:
• Walking (including up and down stairs)
• Mounting the motorcycle
• Riding the motorcycle.
If the System Check is passed a solid green (3a) LED indicator light will illuminate.
Note that the following activities are unlikely to pass the System Check:
• Zipping up the jacket without wearing it
• Standing still
• Sitting down – INCLUDING on the motorcycle with the engine at idle.
STREET MODE ACTIVATION:
RACE MODE ACTIVATION:
IMPORTANT!
Should the System detect a situation incompatible with the normal
expected usage of the System, the System will automatically turn off and
so will the Led Display (3). Open and close the Front Flap (2) to turn the
System on again and re- perform the System Check.

When the System Check has been correctly performed,
and the yellow light turns off, the System must detect
a riding condition for at least 10 seconds in order to be
ready to deploy in case of an accident.
When Race Mode is selected, after the completion of
the System Check, the LED Display will show solid green
and yellow LED light. The yellow light will turn off only
when rider reaches 100km/h (62mph) and only then the
System will be ready to deploy. If the rider stops or the
speed drops under the 100km/h for an extended period
of time, the System will return in the System Check
phase (indicated by the solid yellow and green LEDs –
see Section 13 below).
