CAUTION
• In case of alteration or absence of GPS signal (tunnel, underground parking, etc.)
the detection of an accident or fall cannot be guaranteed.
• In cases of falls or accidents that are too slow or of a too low amplitude, it is pos-
sible that the detection is not done in time or not at all.
• The electronic system is sensitive to sudden movements. Do not intentionally per-
form movements that do not correspond to normal urban riding.
• It is important not to intentionally cause shocks to the SDU fork sensor, as this
could damage it and cause unexpected triggers.
• In some extreme situations, the electronic system could be triggered without the
user falling.
e) Autonomy
Under optimal conditions, the airbag vest has an autonomy of approximately 25
hours when it is switched on and active (excluding sleep mode). It switches to sleep
mode automatically when no movement is detected for about 45 seconds and
wakes up at the rst movement. It is recommended to recharge it every week (see
page 31).
Under optimal conditions, the SDU fork sensor has a battery life of about 5 years.
It is not rechargeable. We advise you to check its working condition at least once a
month, please refer to its manual for further information.
f) Update
The Helite electronic system may be subject to change. In case of an important
update, you will be contacted by your dealer or Helite.
4. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
