Care and Maintenance
To maintain the integrity and performance of your SkiGuard and SkiBand, follow these care instructions:
-
Temperature Exposure: Avoid exposing the devices to high temperatures above 60-70°C (140-158°F). High temperatures can compromise the material integrity and sensor functionality.
