Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide
When your heated gilet keeps turning off, it can be frustrating and inconvenient, especially when you need warmth the most. Follow this step-by-step guide to diagnose and resolve the issue effectively.
Step 1: Check the Connection Between the Gilet and the Battery
First, ensure that the connection between your heated gilet and the battery is secure. A loose connection can cause the gilet to turn off.
Is the problem resolved?
- Yes: Issue resolved.
- No: Proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Verify if the Battery is the Manufacturer's Original
Determine if you are using the battery provided by the manufacturer or a third-party battery.
Are you using the manufacturer's original battery?
- Yes: Skip to Step 4.
- No: Continue to Step 3.
Step 3: Check the Behavior on Different Heat Settings
1.Does the gilet keep turning off on medium or low settings, but not turn off on high setting?
This might indicate compatibility issues. The battery might not support the heating mechanism properly at these settings.
Solution: Contact customer support to inquire about compatible batteries or try using a different battery.
Is the problem resolved?
- Yes: Issue resolved.
- No: Contact customer support.
2.Does the gilet turn off on the highest setting?
The battery might not be able to supply the required current for high power settings. For example, if the gilet needs 2A but the battery cannot supply this, it will turn off.
Solution: Use a battery with a higher current output that matches the gilet's requirements, such as a 5V 2.1-3A output battery
Is the problem resolved?
- Yes: Issue resolved.
- No: Contact customer support.
Step 4: Check the Battery Charge Level
Ensure that the battery is fully charged. Low battery levels can cause the gilet to turn off unexpectedly.
Is the battery sufficiently charged?
- No: Fully charge the battery and try again.
- Yes: Proceed to the next step.
Is the problem resolved?
- Yes: Issue resolved.
- No: Contact customer support or try step 5.
Step 5: Inspect the USB Connector for Loose Connections
A loose USB connection can cause intermittent power issues. Try replacing the USB cable if it seems loose or damaged.
Is the problem resolved after replacing the USB cable?
- Yes: Issue resolved.
- No: Contact customer support for a product replacement.
