ThermaCELL Heated Insoles Instructions Package Contents The ThermaCELL Heated Insoles box contains two Heated Insoles, one Remote Control Unit, one Global Charger, and one Drawstring Travel Bag. Getting Started Instructions for Cutting Insoles to Size:
Insoles may be trimmed to fit shoes or boots if needed. Be sure to follow the WARNING statement printed on the bottom of the Insoles! The two cutting lines are for reference only. When sizing the Heated Insole be certain to take into consideration the thickness of socks that you will use with your footwear. Caution: Do not cut beyond the solid line or excessively bend the Insoles. This will cause damage to the heating elements and the product. Charging and Recharging:
The ON/OFF Switch and Recharge Port for the Insoles are located at the back or heel of each Insole. A soft plastic black cap protects the recharge port. To begin the charging process, the ON/OFF Switches located at the heel of each Insole must be in the left (OFF) position. Plug the charger into an electrical outlet. The LED light on the charger will glow green. Insert each of the two charging cables into each Insole Recharging Port. The LED light on the charger will glow red while the Insoles are charging. The LED light on the charger will change from red to green when the charging for both Insoles is complete. The ThermaCELL Heated Insoles must be fully charged before the first use. A full charge is indicated when the LED light on the charger glows continuously green. This may take up to 6 hours for the first charge. In some situations, the initial charge time may be less than 6 hours. Subsequent charges will take about 3 hours. After the charging process is complete, the green LED light glows continuously, disconnect the charger from the Insoles. How to Charge and Recharge Insoles 1. Set the ON/OFF Switch on each Insole to the left (OFF) position. 2. Plug the Global Charger into an electrical outlet. 3. Plug the Global Charger cables into each Insole Recharge Port, which are found at the heel of each Insole. Once connections are established the LED light on the Global Charger will glow red indicating that the charging process is ongoing. The LED light will turn green continuously indicating that the Insoles are fully charged. 4. Unplug the Global Charger and remove the cables from each Insole. The ThermaCELL Heated Insoles are now ready for use. To Activate the Insoles 1. Turn each Heated Insole on by moving the ON/OFF Switch at the heel of the Insole to the right position (ON). The red LED light on each Insole will flash intermittently and Insoles will default to the No Heat setting on the Remote Control Unit. Note: If no specific heat setting is selected, the Insoles do not generate heat and use minimal battery power. 2. Unpack the Remote Control Unit and remove the protective tab to enable the already installed replaceable battery to activate. 3. Select a setting on the Remote by using the buttons indicating: High (111F), Medium (100F) or No Heat. 4. Insert the Insoles into shoes or boots by following directions located at the bottom of the Insoles. Trim Insoles to fit if needed. Insert into shoes with fabric side up. 5. Use the Remote Control unit to operate the Insoles while shoes or boots are on feet. The LED light on the remote will flash once to confirm a heat setting has been transmitted to the Insole. 6. Remote works best when used between 2 feet to 7 feet from insoles. 7. Note: The heating element in each Insole extends from the toe area to the ball of the feet. The arch and heel areas are not heated. Two Ways to Turn Off the Insoles 1. When Insoles are being used in a shoe, remove the Insole and turn the ON/OFF Switch at the heel of the Insoles to the left position (OFF). The Remote Control Unit will turn off automatically when Insoles are switched off. 2. When Insoles are seated in the shoe and one does not wish to remove them from the shoe, use the Remote Control Units No Heat setting. Remote Control Battery Replacement The Remote Control Unit comes equipped with one Lithium Cell # CR2032. The battery should last approximately two years under normal usage. However, to insure uninterrupted service from the remote replace the battery annually. To replace the battery:
1. Remove the four small Phillips screws on the underside of the Remote Control Unit. 2. Lay both sides of the Remote Control Unit open on a table. Remove the green printed circuit board and turn the board over so the battery holder is face up. Using a coin, push the battery out from under the battery holder. 3. Replace the battery by inserting the new battery back into the holder making certain that the positive (+) side of the battery is face up. 4. Return the green circuit board to its original position making certain the battery is located on the underside of the printed circuit board. Now place the housing front with the black rubber spacer piece over the circuit board. 5. With the two sides of the Remote Control Unit together, secure the two side panels by replacing the four small Phillips screws.

The batteries are embedded in the Insole material and cannot be accessed. For best performance occasionally drain the batteries of both Insoles completely before re-charging. To do this, turn the Insoles ON using the ON/OFF Switch at the heel of the Insole, use the Remote Control Unit to put the Insoles on the high setting, and then run the Insoles until the LED lights on the Insoles turn off. If Insoles are not used for a prolonged period, charge the Insoles completely before using them again. Battery Disposal Information: battery must be disposed of in accord with local laws and regulations. General Comments to Assist in Enjoying the Use Of the Heated Insoles If needed, remove any existing Insoles from shoes or boots to assist in making additional space available to insure a perfect fit for the ThermaCELL Heated Insoles. The tabs at the end of the ThermaCELL Heated Insoles will assist in easy removal of the Insoles from shoes or boots after use. Once the Heated Insoles have been charged, depending on the outside temperature 2 3 4 and quality of the shoes or boots, the Insoles will operate for approximately 5 hours on the Medium setting. It is recommended that the Insoles be in no heat mode when the user is engaged in strenuous work, power walking, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing activities. At high exertion levels, the body generates enough heat to keep the feet warm. Maintaining a comfortable heat level and warmth while using the Heated Insoles depends upon not only proper installation and activation of the Insoles, but upon the type, fit and dryness of the footwear and/or socks being worn. It is recommended that a medium weight sock be worn that wicks away moisture and keeps feet dry. Care Instructions Turn off the Insoles when not in use. Store the Insoles and Global Charger in a clean and dry place. Only use the ThermaCELL Heated Insoles Global Charger to charge the Insoles. Only charge the Insoles when they are outside of shoes or boots. Do not damage the heating elements by bending the Insoles. Cut the Insoles to size only as indicted in instructions. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not submerge in water. Insoles are water resistant, not waterproof. If Insoles become submerged in water, air dry before using. Air-dry the Insoles only. Do not place them on radiators or any other hot surface. Let the Insoles dry completely before charging again. The switch on the Heated Insoles must be set to the OFF (left) position when charging the Insoles. Helpful Information if Insoles are Not Heating Correctly Perform the following actions if the Insoles are not heating correctly:
1. Charge the Insoles completely. 2. Disconnect the charger. 3. Now turn ON the Insoles (switch to the right) and the LED light on the Insoles will flash once every few seconds. Using the Remote Control Unit, press the High button. Now the LED light on each Insole will flash in groups of three. 4. Place the Insoles in the refrigerator for 5 10 minutes. 5. After taking the Insoles out of the refrigerator, again check the LED lights of both Insoles. The LED lights should be flashing in groups of three. 6. If the light is flashing in groups of three, then the Insoles are in the heating mode and you should feel the warmth on the upper and lower sides of the Insoles with your hands or your cheek. 5 If with the above actions the Insoles still are not heating correctly, drain the batteries of both Insoles completely before re-charging. To do this, turn the Insoles ON using the ON/OFF Switch at the heel of the Insole, use the Remote Control Unit to put the Insoles on the high setting, and then run the Insoles until the LED lights on the Insoles turn off. Now repeat the re-charging process.
