3. INTERFERENCE
Please note that the activation handle contains a mag-
net, which must not be placed close to other electronic
devices (avalanche transceiver, compass). Certain ava-
lanche transceivers use magnetic switches that could
be disrupted or disabled by magnets.
If you are using an avalanche transceiver with a mag-
netic switch, you are recommended to wear it on the
side opposite to the activation handle and to secure it
to the body a sufficient distance away.
Ensure that you keep electronic devices (e.g. mobile
phones, radios, head torches) or metal items (e.g.
penknives, magnetic buttons) away from the activation
handle while it is switched on. Do not wear coats with
magnetic buttons!
Warning for anyone with a pacemaker: the magnet
incorporated in the activation handle may cause tempo-
rary interference to a pacemaker. Keep the activation
handle 42 mm away from an old pacemaker and 35
mm away from a new pacemaker. See also:

4. FIRST USE
4.1 FIRST USE AND TEST ACTIVATION
The uncompromising functioning and ease of personal
handling by the user of the ABS
®
P.RIDE System are
critical. It is not difficult to use, but it is very important
to carefully work through the steps outlined below:
STEP 1
Charge battery
Before first use, charge the battery fully using the USB
cable already connected in the shoulder strap. Charging
takes 4–5 hours, depending on the charging device.
(See Point 9.5 for more information about batteries)
STEP 2
Check inflator fill level
Check the inflator regularly by weighing it without the
protective cap. The weight details are specified on the
bottle. Tolerance limit +/- 5 grams.
Your local dealer can replace the inflator free of charge
if the weight deviates from the tolerance limit. A
completely full inflator is an absolute prerequisite for
the proper functioning of the ABS
