After the System has been correctly switched on, the User can easily switch between the three different Riding Modes by pressing the button integrated in the LED Display for two seconds. A solid green LED will appear on the Riding Mode LED indicating which Riding Mode is currently running. Riders can easily cycle through the Riding Modes until the desired Riding Mode is selected. The System will trigger a short (1 second) vibration when the Riding Mode is changed.
• When zipped up, the Tech-Air® 5 Plasma automatically activates via a separate internal magnetic sensor, and the LED Display on the lower chest will not only visually indicate the System’s operational status, but will trigger a short (1 second) haptic vibration alert to notify the rider and confirm when the System is armed. The System generates a long vibration (3 seconds) when turned off or if the System shows a red Status LED.
