ORORO Heated Clothing Troubleshooting Guide
Now that you have your amazing ORORO heated apparel, you’re probably ready to start using it right? But sometimes things don’t always go as planned. That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive step-by-step guide to help you figure out what the problem could possibly be or if there even is a problem!
First of All: To Confirm the Version of Your Battery
Let's start from 2019 Version:
Part 1: The Charger & Battery
If you already know your battery is working, e.g. can charge your phone via USB, you can skip this part and go to Part 2
Step 1
Plug into the charger first WITHOUT connecting to the battery. Is there a GREEN LIGHT on the charger?
If the answer is yes, move onto the next step.
If the answer is no, you have a charger defect! Please reach out to support@ororowear.com with photos and a detailed description of the problem and we will further assist with your problem.
Step 2
Plug the charger into the battery. After you plug the battery in, does the ORANGE light on battery start to blink?
If the answer is yes, move to Part 2: The Apparel.
If the answer is no, you have a Battery Defect! Please reach out to support@ororowear.com with photos and a detailed description of the problem and we will further assist with your problem.
Part 2: Power On ORORO Heated Apparel
Step 1
Once the battery has fully charged, plug it in to connect with your heated apparel. The connecting cable is located in an inside pocket on the left.
Step 2
Now press and HOLD the power button on your apparel for 3 seconds to turn on. A RED BLINKING light? If no, follow step 3. If yes, follow step 4.
Step 3
Repeat the first two steps with another battery if you have one (please reach out to support@ororowear.com for assistance).
Step 4
Press and release the power button intermittently. Does the red light change colors from red to white to blue?
If the answer is yes, move on to the next step.
If the answer is no, you have an Apparel Defect! Please reach out to support@ororowear.com with photos and a detailed description of the problem and we will further assist with your problem.
Step 5
Keep your apparel turned on the HIGH heat setting (red light) for 1 minute INSIDE to get an accurate sense of the heating levels.
Step 6
Touch the fleece lining at different heating zones (left and right chest, mid-back, stomach area, etc). Does it feel warm throughout all of the heating zones?
If the answer is yes, move to the next step.
If the answer is no, you have an Apparel Defect! Please reach out to support@ororowear.com with photos and a detailed description of the problem and we will further assist with your problem.
Step 7
Now this next and final step is basically to just use your apparel for the allotted time (for example, on high heat it’ll last up to 3 hours). Does the apparel stay connected or stay warm for the time needed until the battery dies?
If the answer is yes, you’re ALL GOOD. No problems here!
If the answer is no, you have an Apparel Defect! Please reach out to support@ororowear.com with photos and a detailed description of the problem and we will further assist with your problem.

Stephen Wong this is normal. It is to prevent the battery from overheating and preserve the life of the battery and your vest. Think of it like when you are cooking, you don’t leave the stove on at max heat, you use the max heat to bring the temp up to what you want then you reduce it, the same goes for your heated vest.
Thank you and look forward to your response
