HEATED SOCK LINERS

USER MANUAL

For Sock Liner : 9BHWSL3 Series

Welcome. These ActiVHeat

battery-operated heated sock liners have

been designed to provide you with warmth where and when you need it,

whatever the weather.

The unique heating system is based upon soft non-metallic fibers that are

extremely efficient in generating heat from batteries. These non-metallic

fiber bundles are sewn into your ActiVHeat

sock liners to provide warmth

to your feet.

Check Sizing First!

Check package for size before opening the other

packages.

Check this package contains :

• A pair of ActiVHeat

Sock Liners ;

• 2 x ActiVHeat

Sock Battery Packs in 2 x Fabric Bat-

tery Pack Ankle Wraps

Getting Started

You will need 6 x AA batteries (3 each foot). You may use new, fresh, high

capacity, high drain 1.5 V-1.6V AA batteries. For your convenience, we

have provided a performance table below of some commonly sold batteries.

For example, the Energizer Lithium L91 provides up to 6 hours of constant

heat at the LOW setting, whereas the Duracell Coppertop provides 1.8 hours

of constant heat at the HIGH setting. Different AA primary batteries will result

in very different heating time.

X 2

Lower drain and lower capacity batteries will result in shorter heating

times and lower heat levels.Use of batteries that have been stored for a

long period or have already been used may result in the glove liners not

heating properly. You MUST NOT use 1.2V AA rechargeable NiMh or

NiCd batteries as they will be damaged by the battery packs. You

may use rechargeable Zn-Ni 1.6V 1500mAh AA batteries. Other re-

chargeable upgrade solutions are available from www.activheat.com.

Put on your sock liners with the sockets facing the INSIDE of your legs.

The wires inside the soft fabric channel running down the inside of the

socks do not produce any heat. These sock liners heat under the soles of

your feet.

Installing the Batteries

Unwrap the fabric Ankle Wraps and remove

the Battery Packs .

1. Gently slide open the Battery Compart-

ment Cover on a Battery Pack .

2. Insert three suitable AA batteries ensur-

ing the +ve and –ve terminals of the batteries

match the terminals for the battery compart-

ments as shown right. The middle battery should

inserted with the + sign towards the switch and

the two outer batteries should be inserted with

the + sign away from the switch .

3. Test whether the batteries are inserted correctly

by sliding the switch on the top of the battery

pack (shown opposite). If the heat level light illu-

minates RED or GREEN then the batteries are installed correctly. If it

does not illuminate then check the battery orientation is correct.

4. Slide the switch until the light goes off so you don’t waste the batteries.

5. Gently slide the cover closed.

Installing the Battery Pack

1. The Battery Pack has a plug at one end of the ca-

ble. This plug at the end of a curly Power cable con-

nects to a socket on your sock liner.

2. Firmly connect the plugs on the Battery Packs to the

sock liners sockets. If plugs and sockets are not

firmly connected, the sock liners will not heat

3. Each Battery Pack should be inserted into the pocket on an Ankle Wrap

with the switch accessible and the heat level light visible through the top

window panel of the Ankle Wrap. Close Ankle Wrap cover to secure the

Battery

Pack.

4. Fit the An-

kle Wrap

on your

lower leg

with the

window

facing upward towards your waist. The Battery Pack should

located on the OUTSIDE of your leg. Adjust for fit.

5. Pull on a pair of outer socks to trap the heat gener-

ated by the heated sock liners. Put on your shoes.

6. Your ActiVHeat

sock liners are now ready to use.

Adjusting the Heat Level

The ActiVHeat

Battery Pack has a 3-position slide

switch and a colored Heat Level Light on one end

which varies from Red, Green or Off when you slide

the switch between the three positions.

No Light = OFF (NO HEAT)

Red = Up to 2 hours* (HIGH HEAT)

Green = Up to 6 hours* (LOW HEAT)

* Actual operating hours are dependant upon the en-

ergy capacity and drain capacity of the batteries used.

Higher capacity and higher drain batteries

will perform longer and/or hotter.

Warning:

Do not use the battery pack:

a) when it is wet, or

b) when ambient temperature is above

85°F (~30°C).

Keep batteries away from fire and other

heat sources to avoid the risk of explo-

sion. Always keep the Battery Pack out

of reach of children.

Getting the Best Results

The sock liners should be worn against your skin, and you should wear an

outer sock to trap the heat around your feet.

The ActiVHeat

system will provide heat under your feet for up to 6 hours of

continuous use (on LOW setting). You will get the best from your ActiVHeat

sock liners by using the Battery Pack switch as described below.

Normally you would switch your ActiVHeat

sock liners to HIGH (Red) ap-

proximately 5 minutes before going outside. Depending upon the external

temperature and how physically active you are, you should then be able to

switch the heat down to LOW or to OFF after approx. 5 - 10 minutes, as the

heat generated from your muscles will be sufficient to keep your feet warm if

you are active.

If you become inactive, or the temperature drops or you feel cold, switch the

heat on to HIGH immediately until you either start moving again or you reach

a comfortable temperature, when you may be able to switch down the heat

level to extend the battery time.

Always keep extra batteries with you when using outdoors so you have heat

when you need it.

sock liners
