Check when wearing the backpack if the activation handle is

if not, the handle attachment can be adjusted to the appropriate
height . The proper position of the activation handle should be
between chest and shoulder . In order to adjust the height, open

and thread it through the little straps one position up or down .

clothing and that it can be easily reached.
A retail shop will be able to attach the activation handle on the
