Charging your BluSnap
The re-chargeable battery in your BluSnap comes with very little initial charge for shipping-safety
reasons. Before you use BluSnap for an extended period of time, please charge the device. The
gure below illustrates how you charge your BluSnap. As shown, lift the rightap of the top-cover
5/22/2018 BluSnap User Guide | BluArmor Helmets
https://bluarmorhelmets.com/pages/blusnap_userguide 3/13
(the side of the power button) to reveal the microUSB port/connector and the LED indicators. In a
manner similar to charging a battery bank or a mobile phone, connect a power source to BluSnap
through this microUSB port. The LEDs will glow to indicate the amount of charge available. BluSnap
uses a 2500mAh battery, and the charging time to go from empty to full charge could be 5-6 hours
(similar to basic power banks). All 4 LEDs will glow once BluSnap is fully charged, and you can
expect ~ 10 hours of riding on a full charge.
You will not be able to power BluSnap while it is charging. If you are going on a long ride, make sure
that BluSnap is fully charged and ready to go!
Turning your BluSnap ON/OFF
BluSnap's ON/OFF switch is visible on the top cover. Push it to turn ON; push it again to turn OFF. As
easy as that!
Filling Water
BluSnap is a miniaturized air cooler. It works by owing air through a moistened lter; the
evaporation of water from this moistened lter causes the temperature of the air to decrease giving

you cool air ow.
The two key pieces you should familiarize yourself with before you ll water are the water inlet and
the water-reservoir lock. The water reservoir itself is not visible outside, and is located at the base of
BluSnap's main body. The water-reservoir lock is a locking mechanism that connects the water
reservoir to the cooling lter. Leave it closed, and the water stays in the reservoir. Leave it open, and
the water makes it to the lter.
RECOMMENDED:Please keep the water-reservoir lock closedwhen BluSnap is not in active use
(Active use is when you are wearing the helmet and riding/ready to start riding). Water spillage is
possible/likely if the water-reservoir lock is open and BluSnap is held in a partial/fully inverted position.
The open and close positions for the water-reservoir lock are shown in the below gure.
The water inlet (as the name implies) is the inlet through which you will ll the reservoir. To locate
the water inlet, please lift the left-side ap of the top cover (shown in the gure below). BluSnap has
a narrow pipe to its water reservoir. It is advised to use a small glass/tumbler/bottle while pouring
water into BluSnap. With the water-reservoir lock closed, BluSnap's reservoir will hold ~60ml of
water. If you want to play it very safe w.r.t. water spillage, please stick to lling the reservoir with the
reservoir-lock closed, and open the lock only when you are about to start riding.

SUGGESTION:If you want to maximize the cooling time between rells, you can adopt a multi-step
process to lling the reservoir.
Step 1: With the water-reservoir lock closed, ll water in the reservoir
Step 2:Pull the lter cartridge out of the unit and wet it completely by pouring water on it.
Step 3: Ride for some time (~15 minutes) before opening the water-reservoir lock as the cooling
lter will be wet to start with because of Step 2
The current version of BluSnap does not have a water-level indicator. This is planned for subsequent
generations

SUGGESTION:If youare riding on the highway at speeds greater than 50kmph, you can turn the fan
OFF to maximize the cooling time between water rells. Your being on the move ensures enough air
ow into your BluSnap, and you can conserve the battery for the time when you enter a city/town.
RECOMMENDED:Please use drinking water for your BluSnap to avoid calcication and extend the life
of your cooling lter.

Attaching BluSnap to your Helmet
The gure below shows how BluSnap attaches to your helmet. Insert the helmet's jaw between the
back wall of BluSnap's main body and the two air vents, and then pull the strap around the back of
the helmet. Let the strap go as close to the visor and as high as possible at the back of the helmet
giving the strap the maximum stretch you can achieve - this improves the hold that the strap has on
the main body. The strap is lined with anti-skid silicone that maintains adhesion to the helmet.

With some helmets, the jawcan be very thin and extra adhesion might be needed between BluSnap
and the helmet. For this purpose, we have provided a velcro ap as part of the strap. The mating
velcro unit is part of your package. Should you need it, please attach the velcro units to your helmet
(do check the alignment with the strap before you attach the velcro). An example is shown in the
gure below.

A short tutorial explaining how you can use the velcro strips that come with your BluSnap package
to improve the adhesion between your helmet and BluSnap is embedded below.

Your cooling lter is housed in a cartridge. It doubles up as a dust stopper, and needs to be
periodically cleaned. The period will depend on how often you ride, and the level of dust on the roads
you frequent - check your lter every two weeks and clean as you see t. To remove the lter
cartridge, remove the top cover and pull out the lter (the gure illustrates where you should hold
and pull).
To clean the lter, place it under running tap water and use a toothbrush to wash off the dust. The
lter will need to be replaced periodically - either every 5000 kilometres or every 6 months, whichever
happens sooner. Replacement lters are available on our website.
CAUTION:If the cooling lter is not cleaned periodically, its life-time will reduce.
Cleaning the Grill/Coarse Filter
BluSnap's grill integrates a coarse lter to block large dust particles, insects, etc. This coarse-lter
should be inspected and cleaned on a regular basis. To pull out the grill, simply remove the top cover
and slide out the grill (as shown in the gure)
5/22/2018 BluSnap User Guide | BluArmor Helmets
https://bluarmorhelmets.com/pages/blusnap_userguide 10/13
The coarse lter can be cleaned/dusted using a toothbrush.
Strap Options - Swapping them in/out
BluSnap comes with multiple strap options and you can easily swap them in/out. The strap slides
in/out through the strap-guides on the main body as shown in the gure. Replacement straps are
available on our website.
