ACTIVITY SELECTION: Enjoy preset heating settings according to your favorite activity MANUAL HEATING LEVEL CONTROL: Select the heating level more precisely from 1 to 10 BOOST MODE: Feeling cold? Quickly activate full power on your heated product for a few minutes ECO: Quickly alternate between heating time and pause MOTION: On the move during an activity? The app automatically detects whether you are active or stationary and adjusts the heating level accordingly TEMPERATURE CONTROL: Set directly the temperature in degrees Celsius you want: the app and the batteries take care of the rest.
