Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Telescopic Handle: Extend the telescopic handle by pressing the push-button release and pulling it upwards. Ensure it locks securely into your desired height.
Setting the TSA Lock: Each suitcase comes with an integrated TSA lock. The default combination is usually `0-0-0`. To set your personal combination:
- Ensure the lock is set to `0-0-0` and the zippers are released.
- Locate a small reset button (often recessed) next to the dials. Use a pen or pointed object to press and hold this button until you hear a click.
- While holding the reset button, rotate the dials to your desired 3-digit combination.
- Release the reset button. Your new combination is now set. Test it immediately to ensure it works, then scramble the dials to lock.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the polyester exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap (if needed). Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they may damage the fabric or color. Spot clean stains promptly.
- Zipper Maintenance: Periodically lubricate zippers with a silicone-based spray to ensure smooth operation.
- Wheel Care: Keep the spinner wheels free of debris (hair, lint, dirt). If they become stiff, clean them thoroughly and a small amount of silicone lubricant can help.
- Storage: Store the suitcase in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it for extended periods to maintain its shape.
