REPLACING ZIP-ON BOOSTER PACK (FIGURE 8)
The JetForce PRO allows for Zip-On Booster Packs (8a) to be interchanged on
your JetForce PRO Base Unit (8b) based on your cargo requirements. To replace
the modular portion of the backpack, use the following procedure:
1. Locate both Booster Pack Zipper Pulls (8c) on the main cargo compartment of
the pack.
2. Open the zippers all the way around the pack until they come off of Booster
Pack Zipper Ends (8d) at the bottom of the pack.
3. Remove the Zip-On Booster Pack (8a) from the JetForce PRO Base Unit (8c).
4. Align the replacement Zip-On Booster Pack (8a) with the zippers on JetForce
PRO Base Unit (8b) and engage both Booster Pack Zipper Pulls (8c) with the
corresponding Booster Pack Zipper Ends (8d).
5. Pull the Booster Pack Zipper Pulls (8c) around the pack to the desired position
for use as the main access zipper to the cargo compartment of the pack. Keep
zippers opposite from the release flap to minimize pull on the release clip.
A
WARNING! Do not use JetForce PRO without a Booster Pack attached.
ADJUSTING THE DEPLOYMENT HANDLE (FIGURE 9)
It is possible to swap the handle from the user's left side to right side.
1. Disarm the system.
2. Open deployment handle pocket and unzip the balloon compartment.
3. Feed the handle from the shoulder strap pocket into the balloon compartment.
4. Feed handle under the two diagonal ski carry straps and under the balloon.
5. Feed the handle into the new shoulder side.
6. Slide the length adjuster along its support strap and readjust as needed.
7. Test pack for proper deployment.
TROUBLESHOOTING
In any system state (armed, charging, calibration), the JetForce PRO system pro-
vides comprehensive self-diagnosis. Warnings or errors are indicated with the red
System Status Light (1e), in conjunction with the blue Charge Status Lights (1f) for
differentiation (Figures 6-7):
1. Permanent solid red: Malfunction, initial deployment is not guaranteed – do not
enter avalanche terrain!
2. Permanent blinking red: Warning, battery charge insufficient – do not enter
avalanche terrain! Deployment is possible, but may cause damage to the bat-
tery.
3. Temporary blinking red for 3 seconds after arming then system proceeds as
usual: self-test error with deployment-unrelated malfunction, – do not enter
avalanche terrain!
To troubleshoot the system, follow these steps in order. Check for normal opera-
tion after each step:
1. Turn the system off and turn it back on.
2. Connect the Charging Plug (1h) to the Charging Power Supply (1o) and
leave system connected until you see 4 solid blue Charge Status Lights (1f).
Afterwards disconnect and arm the system.
3. Confirm that the battery attachment screws are tight. Tighten if battery is
loose.
4. Use "System Check" in the Pieps app for detailed troubleshooting. The app
also provides a detailed explanation of status light indications. Follow the
6
instructions and advice in the app. To connect the system to a device with
Bluetooth technology, refer to "BLUETOOTH CONNECTION" section of this
manual.
5. Contact your pack manufacturer´s service center for assistance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• The JetForce PRO Backpack must not come into contact with corrosive mate-
rials such as battery acid, battery fumes, solvents, chlorine bleach, antifreeze,
isopropyl alcohol or gasoline.
• If you need to clean your pack, use a damp cloth and mild detergent to spot
clean the specific area. Take care to not get the pack overly wet. When finished
cleaning, open any affected pockets, hang the pack, and allow to air dry prior
to use.
• Do not crush, puncture or subject the battery to excessive mechanical shock
or vibration.
• Inspect the Lithium-Ion Battery (1g) regularly for cracking, swelling or other
physical damage and replace damaged units immediately.
• The JetForce PRO battery has been engineered to perform optimally at very
cold temperatures and has an internal charging circuit that maintains the health
of the battery; however, all Lithium-ion batteries, no matter how well they are
controlled, are subject to deterioration over time and with use. Storing the bat-
tery for a long period of time at full charge and/or at high temperatures are the
easiest ways to permanently decrease the capacity and health of the battery.
Additionally, do not allow your battery to deep discharge. Running the system
when the battery is showing no blue lights may damage the battery.
• Battery health can be greatly extended by doing the following:
1. Disarm the system whenever not in avalanche terrain.
2. Charge the battery frequently during normal, regular use. As with all Lithium-
ion batteries, it is ideal to maintain a charge of 100% (4 blue lights) when
being used regularly. Avoid full discharge
3. Store the JetForce PRO pack in a cool (< 23°C/73°F), dry environment at
75%-90% (3 blue lights) battery charge when not being used regularly.
4. While the overall system will function up to 45° C [113°F], battery deterioration
is accelerated at temperatures higher than 23°C [73°F].
• System Check: The Pieps app can be used at any time to verify that your
JetForce PRO system is functioning properly.
• Battery Calibration: It is recommended to perform a battery calibration once a
year, after the skiing season. Battery calibration allows you to evaluate battery
health and helps to provide the most accurate charge level indication.
1) Start calibration with a low battery charge level (1 blue light) as the system
needs to empty the battery before recharging.
2) Connect the Charging Plug (1h) to the Charging Power Supply (1o) and wait
for system to begin charging.
3) Press and hold (~3 seconds) the red Power Button (1d) until you hear the
motor running with low power. The lights indicate Calibration => no red, blink-
ing green, cycling blue outside/inside.
4) The calibration routine ends with a result indication:
• Very good:
no red, blinking green, solid blue #1-4
• Good:
no red, blinking green, solid blue #1-3
• Acceptable:
no red, blinking green, solid blue #1-2
• Not acceptable: solid red, no green, solid blue #1
(recommendation for battery replacement)
Required Action
Recharge battery
Make sure that the system is
charged at room temperature.
Leave the system connected
to power supply until the bat-
tery temperature is inside the
allowed charge temperature
range and charging starts
automatically.
Battery needs to be replaced
Stop the indication by using
the disarming process and
activate Bluetooth again. If
you continue to see this error,
contact your pack manu-
facturer´s service center for
assistance.
