the Multifunction button (15) to check the battery level
(Hövding then comes out of sleep mode).
Always fully charge the battery when charging Hövding
(this takes up to two hours). Charge Hövding by inserting
the accompanying USB cable into the USB port (14) on the
underside of the rear casing (4). Then plug the USB cable
into an external charger with an USB port and charge via
a wall outlet. Close the lid over the USB port after charg-
ing is complete. When Hövding is fully charged, a solid
green light will light up on the underside of the rear casing.
Hövding’s battery lasts for 14-16 hours of use.
Check the battery level by pressing the Multifunction
button (15) on the underside of the rear casing (4). The Back
LED (16) on the underside of the rear casing will then indi-
cate the battery level as follows:
• Solid green light – over 50% battery left
• Flashing green light – 20–50% battery left
• Solid red light – less than 20% battery left
Hövding must not be activated when charging. Hövding
should only be charged at temperatures between 5°C (41°F)
to 40°C (104°F). The battery in Hövding is not exchangeable.
ADJUSTING THE FIT
Adjust the fit using the adjustment wheel (Boa® Fit System)
(6) by turning it clockwise until you get a tight fit directly
against the neck during use. For a larger size, pull out the
adjustment wheel and stretch Hövding to the desired size.
Then lock the adjustment wheel by pressing it down again.
Place Hövding around your neck with the rear casing (4)
down towards your back (between your shoulder blades)
and the zipper (9) centered at the front.
FITTING THE COVER ONTO THE COLLAR
Fit the included basic cover or seasonal cover (sold sepa-
rately) before first use. Hövding must always be used with
either a basic cover or a seasonal cover.
Putting on the included basic cover: Start by laying the
collar (1) in its fully extended position. Attach the longest
zipper on the basic cover, with the zipper on the inside (7)
of the collar. Then adjust the collar to the right size using
the adjustment wheel (Boa® Fit System) (6) (see ADJUST-
ING THE FIT). Next, thread the basic cover over the rear
casing and connect the other zipper on the outside of the
collar (3). Watch an instructional video at hovding.com.
Removing the basic cover: Unzip the two zippers on the
outside and inside of the collar and then remove the basic
cover. Watch an instructional video at hovding.com.
For safety reasons it is not allowed to use modified or
self-designed covers. The Hövding covers are tested to
work correctly in the event of an accident.
