5. TRAVELING WITH THE VEST
-> Bus, Train, Car
No specific restrictions.
Do not forget to switch OFF the system
while using different means of transport.
-> Plane
You may encounter some difficulties with the security service
regarding the e-cartridges used to inflate your vest.
From a legal point of view (IATA regulations), you are authorized
to travel by airplane with 2 e-cartridges (with a volume of less
than 200cc), in the cabin or in the hold.
However, even if it is legally allowed, it is possible that the security service or the
airline will refuse you to board the aircraft with the e-cartridge. We advise you to print
the IATA regulation (available on helite.com “FAQ”) and to show it during the control
if you are asked for further explanation. In any case, the security department of the
airport and the airline will make the final decision whether to take your equipment on
board or not.
On the plane, you always have to turn off your garment and unplug the e-cartridge.
B. THE FORK SENSOR (optional)
Once installed and correctly paired (see first use, page 23), the fork sensor is totally
autonomous (about 5 years, not rechargeable).
We recommend to check on a regular base (once a month) if the fork sensor is working
properly. To do so, you need to place the magnet over the round sign of the fork sensor
to check that the fork sensor is still activated and that it is still paired with the vest.
Please note that this check should be done in an environment of more than 10°C.
GOOD TO KNOW:
To delete all the sensors that are paired with the vest, press the
button
on the vest for 8 seconds.
