Orange System Status Lights (Figure 6 and 7):
To troubleshoot, follow these steps in order. Check for normal operation
after each step:
1. Turn the system off and turn it back on.
2. Connect the Micro USB Charging Cable (1m) to the USB Charging Port (1h)
and leave system connected until you see a blinking green Charge Status
Light (1e). Afterward disconnect the USB Charging Cable and arm the sys-
tem (refer to ARMING THE SYSTEM).
3. If you do not see a blinking green Charge Status Light (1e) contact your

lifespan of a Pieps JetForce SC Backpack is up to 10 years from the date of
manufacture, even if unused and properly stored. Upon reaching the rated
number of deployments or maximum lifespan, the pack must be retired and
destroyed to prevent future use. Factors that will reduce the lifespan of a
Pieps JetForce SC Backpack: Falls, abrasion, wear, prolonged exposure to
sunlight, salt water/air, corrosive chemicals, harsh environments or misuse
of the Inflation Unit or SuperCapacitors.
