HONU HAWAII - User Manual

OPENING
To open the bladder, slide the red tab on the
bladder cu outward, then pull up to remove
the sealing cu. The cu hinges like a door
and slides o at a diagonal,
as pictured.
FILLING
Unfold the bladder seal at the top of the
bladder. Fill with cool water to the
‘optimum ll line.’
COOLING
Insert ice or frozen gel packs as desired. Check that the water level does not rise
higher the ‘do not exceed’ line.
LOADING
Close the bladder seal ap and then put the sealing cu diagonally on to the bladder. The cu hinges on to the
bladder like a door, as pictured. Slide the red tab back into a locked position. Please the cued bladder into the HONU
pouch with the tube connectors facing outward.
CONNECTING
Click the two Quick Connector tube attachments into place on the bladder tube
connection points, as pictured. Be sure that the Quick Connector tabs are in an
open position – you will hear a click as the connectors lock into place.
POWER
Connect the USB line from the bladder to the battery pack and turn the switch ‘on.’ Check that pump is running by
monitoring water ow through clear tubing – water should circulate within 15 seconds. Flip the switch to ‘o’ to stop
the pump.
TROUBLESHOOTING FLOW
If water doesn’t ow through the ThermoCore system, turn o the unit and double check the tube-bladder connections.
Check that the liquid level inside the bladder is higher than the optimum ll line and that the pump is completely
submerged. through clear tubing – water should circulate within 15 seconds. Flip the switch to ‘o’ to stop the pump.

FOR USE

Summary

Instructions for Use

Opening the Bladder Cuff

Slide the red tab outward and pull up to remove the sealing cuff, which hinges like a door.

Filling the Bladder

Unfold the bladder seal and fill with cool water to the optimum fill line.

Cooling the Bladder

Insert ice or frozen gel packs, ensuring water level stays below the 'do not exceed' line.

Loading the Cuffed Bladder

Close the seal flap, attach the cuff diagonally, and slide the red tab to lock. Place into pouch.

Connecting the Tubes

Click Quick Connector tube attachments into bladder points with tabs in open position until they lock.

Powering the System

Connect USB to battery pack, turn switch on. Check for water circulation within 15 seconds.

Troubleshooting Flow Issues

Check connections, fill level, and pump submersion if water does not flow through the system.

Care Instructions

Spot clean with a damp cloth. For full cleaning, dunk in soapy water, rinse cold, and air dry.

Storage Recommendations

Drain all water from tubes and bladder. Open Quick Connectors to let drain. Store in a dry place.

Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The HONU device is a portable cooling system designed to provide comfort and regulate temperature through a circulating liquid system. It consists of a bladder, a sealing cuff, tubing, a battery pack, and a pump, all housed within a pouch. The system is designed for ease of use, portability, and effective cooling, making it suitable for various situations where personal temperature regulation is desired.

Function Description:

The primary function of the HONU device is to circulate a cooling liquid, typically water, through a system of tubes to provide a cooling sensation. The bladder acts as a reservoir for the cooling liquid, which can be enhanced with ice or frozen gel packs for increased cooling efficiency. A small pump, powered by a battery pack, drives the circulation of this liquid through the tubing, which is designed to be placed in contact with the user to transfer coolness. The system is engineered to ensure continuous flow and optimal cooling performance, with features to prevent leaks and ensure secure connections. The "ThermoCore system" mentioned suggests an integrated thermal management component that optimizes the cooling process.

Usage Features:

The HONU device is designed for straightforward operation, with a step-by-step process for opening, filling, cooling, loading, connecting, and powering the unit.

• Opening: To access the bladder, the red tab on the bladder cuff is slid outward, allowing the sealing cuff to be pulled up and removed. The cuff is designed to hinge like a door and slide off diagonally, simplifying the opening process.
• Filling: Once open, the bladder seal flap at the top of the bladder is unfolded. The bladder is then filled with cool water up to the "optimum fill line." This ensures adequate liquid for circulation without overfilling.
• Cooling: For enhanced cooling, users can insert ice or frozen gel packs into the bladder. It's crucial to ensure that the total liquid level, including the added ice or gel packs, does not exceed the "do not exceed" line to prevent spillage or system malfunction.
• Loading: After filling and cooling, the bladder seal flap is closed. The sealing cuff is then placed diagonally onto the bladder, mimicking the door-like hinge action, and the red tab is slid back into a locked position to secure the seal. The cuffed bladder is then placed into the HONU pouch with the tube connectors facing outward, ready for connection.
• Connecting: The device features two Quick Connector tube attachments. These are clicked into place on the bladder tube connection points. Users are instructed to ensure the Quick Connector tabs are in an open position before connecting, and a distinct "click" sound confirms that the connectors are securely locked. This quick-connect system simplifies setup and ensures a leak-proof connection.
• Powering: The system is powered by a battery pack, which connects to the bladder via a USB line. To activate the pump, the switch on the battery pack is turned "on." Users can verify the pump's operation by observing water flow through the clear tubing; circulation should be visible within 15 seconds. Flipping the switch to "off" stops the pump.

Maintenance Features:

Maintaining the HONU device involves simple cleaning and proper storage procedures to ensure longevity and hygiene.

• Care Instructions:
  • Spot Cleaning: For minor cleaning, the device can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth.
  • Complete Cleaning: For a more thorough cleaning, the HONU unit can be dunked in soapy water and then rinsed in cold water. This allows for comprehensive cleaning of the internal and external surfaces.
  • Drying: After cleaning, the device should be air-dried. Users are explicitly instructed "DO NOT WRING OUT" to prevent damage to the components.
• Troubleshooting Flow: In case of issues with water flow through the ThermoCore system, a troubleshooting guide is provided:
  • Turn off the unit.
  • Double-check all tube-bladder connections to ensure they are secure.
  • Verify that the liquid level inside the bladder is higher than the optimum fill line and that the pump is completely submerged, which is essential for proper operation.
  • If these steps are followed, water should circulate through the clear tubing within 15 seconds. If not, the user is advised to flip the switch to "off" to stop the pump, implying further inspection or contact with support might be needed.
• Storage: Proper storage is crucial when the device is not in use for extended periods:
  • Draining Water: It is recommended to drain all water from the HONU tubes.
  • Emptying Bladder: To drain water, the bladder should be emptied.
  • Disconnecting Tubing: The Quick Connector tabs at the ends of the HONU tubing should be clicked open to allow any remaining water to drain completely.
  • Dry Storage: The device should be stored in a dry place to prevent mold, mildew, or damage to electronic components.

The overall design emphasizes user convenience, effective cooling, and straightforward maintenance, making the HONU device a practical solution for personal temperature regulation.
