  • Charging: The heated insoles and remote control can be charged wirelessly using the charging pads or via the USB-C ports. A full charge is indicated by a solid green light on the charger/insole (after 4-6 hours).
  • Activate/Deactivate: Press the button on the side of the insole for 4 seconds until the LED light turns on/off.

Manual control via the insole button:

  • Select Heat Mode: Briefly press the side button to switch between the heat levels.
  • LED Indicator for Heat Level: The LED will show: red (high), yellow (medium) or green (low).
  • Flashing LED: If the LED is flashing, the insole is in standby mode. The color indicates the battery level: red (0-33%), yellow (34-66%), green (67%-100%).

 

 

Remote control operation:

  • Prerequisite: For remote control functionality, the insoles must be activated (in standby mode).
  • Select Heat Mode: To choose your desired heat level, press button I (low), II (medium), or III (high).
  • Battery Level Indicator: The pie charts on the remote show the battery level for each insole. More filled segments mean a higher battery charge.
  • Heat Level Indicator: The color of the pie charts corresponds to the set heat level: red (high), yellow (medium), or green (low).
  • Standby: Press the ON/OFF button on the remote control.

 


If the heated insole doesn’t respond to the remote control:

  • Press the side button on the heated insole for 7 seconds until the LED light flashes rapidly.
  • To pair the left insole, press the button I on the remote control. To pair the right insole, press the button III.
    The steps above also apply if you’ve received a new remote control.

 

App Control:

  • Download the “Bucken” app from Google Play or the Apple App Store
  • Prerequisite: The insoles must be activated (in standby mode).
  • The app requires the following permissions: Nearby Devices, Location, and Phone.
  • Pair the insoles via Bluetooth by tapping the Bluetooth symbol in the app. After pairing, the insoles will enter standby mode.
  • Select your desired temperature by tapping either I, II, or III.
  • The insoles can be controlled individually or simultaneously by tapping the link symbol between them.
  • The remaining battery level is displayed above each insole.
  • To put the insoles in standby mode, tap the OFF symbol.
  • You can disconnect the insoles by tapping the OFF symbol again.

 

 

Before First Use:

  1. Test the insoles: Place the insoles under a blanket (for about 10 minutes) to check if they get warm enough for your needs. Please note: the right of withdrawal does not apply to used or cut insoles.
  2. If possible, remove your existing insoles from your shoes.
  3. Cut the heated insoles to the correct size. Use your existing insole as a template. Cut carefully, not inside the innermost line (risk of damage).
  4. Insert the heated insoles into clean and dry shoes. Be careful not to bend the front part of the heated insoles too much, as this can damage the heating wires. The fit often improves after you’ve used the insoles for a while.

General Advice:

  • Prevent cold: Activate the insoles before your feet get cold for the best effect and lower energy consumption.
  • At very low temperatures, you might not feel the heat generated by the insoles, but your feet should also not be “bitterly” cold.
  • Test if unsure: Activate only one insole and compare after 10-15 minutes.
  • Avoid moisture: Sweat cools your feet.
  • Problems with activation: May be due to moisture. Let the insoles dry.
  • Storage: Store charged around 60% and turned off.

SIKKERHETSINFORMASJON

  • Vennligst les bruksanvisningen og sikkerhetsinformasjonen nøye før du tar produktet i bruk av hensyn til din egen sikkerhet, andres sikkerhet og enhetens sikkerhet. Enheten skal ikke bli brukt av personer med kognitive funksjonsnedsettelser eller barn som enten ikke forstår eller ikke kan følge disse sikkerhetsinstruksjonene.
  • Brukere av Bucken® oppvarmet tøy må være oppmerksomme på tidlige tegn som tyder på mulig brannskade. Hvis du føler varme, prikking, eller hvis huden din blir rød, er det faretegn for brannskader. Senk effekten umiddelbart eller slå av enheten og slutte å bruke den. Hvis du tror du har blitt brent, må du kontakte lege.
  • Ikke bruk enheten mens du sover eller under påvirkning av alkohol, narkotika, sterke medisiner eller andre stoffer som kan svekke evnen din til å kjenne om enheten overopphetes.
  • For å unngå brannskader, vær vennlig å sørg for at effekten justeres etter omgivelsestemperaturen. Vær ekstra forsiktig under aktiviteter der du kan bli distrahert, som for eksempel kjøring, ridning, sykling, jogging, ski og lignende aktiviteter.
  • Vær ekstra forsiktig hvis du har nedsatt følsomhet for temperatur eller nedsatt blodsirkulasjon, da du kanskje ikke kjenner om enheten blir for varm. Hvis du er usikker, bør du rådføre deg med lege før bruk.
  • Det kan være risiko for unormal varmeutvikling hvis enheten aktiveres uten tilsyn. Koble batteriet fra hvis mulig når du ikke bruker enheten. Dette er spesielt viktig under transport. I så fall må du også pakke batteriet i en ikke-ledende emballasje for å forhindre kortslutning under transport.
  • Ikke bruk en skadet enhet eller skadet tilbehør. Hvis du merker unormale lukter, lyder, røyk eller væske, må du slutte å bruke enheten umiddelbart. Et skadet, punktert eller oppblåst batteri skal ikke lades. Plasser batteriet i en brannsikker beholder og kast det på riktig måte.
  • Ikke demonter, modifiser eller reparer enheten. Bruk Bucken® godkjente batterier, ladere, tilbehør og forbruksmateriell.
  • Ikke utsett laderen for fuktighet.
  • Unngå temperaturer over 80 °C, hvis ikke kan batteriet eksplodere.
  • Forbruksbatterier kastes i samsvar med lokale lover og forskrifter.
  • Oppbevar produktet utilgjengelig for små barn, da det kan inneholde små deler som kan svelges.
