  • 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.

SIKKERHEDSOPLYSNINGER

Enheden må ikke bruges af personer med kognitive nedsættelser eller børn, der ikke kan forstå og følge disse sikkerhedsinstruktioner.
  • Brugere af Bucken® varmebeklædning skal være opmærksomme på tidlige tegn på mulige forbrændinger. Hvis du mærker varme, prikken, eller hvis din hud bliver rød, er der risiko for forbrændinger. Skru straks ned for effekten eller sluk for enheden, og stop med at bruge det. Kontakt læge, hvis du tror, du er blevet forbrændt.
  • Brug ikke enheden når du sover eller er under påvirkning af alkohol, narkotika, stærk medicin eller andre stoffer, der kan hæmme din evne til at mærke, hvis enheden bliver for varmt.
  • For at undgå forbrændinger, skal du sørge for at effekten er justeret efter omgivelsestemperaturen. Vær ekstra forsigtig med at bruge enheden under aktiviteter, hvor du kan blive distraheret, såsom kørsel, ridning, cykling, løb, skiløb og lignende.
  • Vær ekstra forsigtig, hvis du har nedsat følsomhed over for temperatur eller nedsat blodcirkulation, da du måske ikke kan mærke, hvis produktet bliver for varmt. Konsulter din læge før brug, hvis du er i tvivl.
  • Ved aktivering uden tilsyn er der risiko for unormal varmeudvikling. Hvis muligt, skal batteriet tages ud, når du ikke bruger enheden. Dette er særligt vigtigt under transport. Pak i så fald også batteriet i en ikke-ledende emballage for at forhindre kortslutning under transport.
  • Brug ikke enheden eller tilbehøret, hvis det er beskadiget. Hvis du bemærker mærkelige lugte, lyde, røg eller væske, skal du straks stoppe med at bruge enheden. Et beskadiget, punkteret eller hævet batteri må ikke oplades. Placer batteriet i en brandsikker beholder og bortskaf det.
