Getting Started

What are the first steps to get started with my Raden?

How do I pair my case?

Before pairing your case for the first time, make sure your battery is turned on by pulling out the “Pull to start” tab that sits between the battery and the Bluetooth docking station. Once your case is fully charged, open the Raden app and tap "Pair My Raden.” Your phone will confirm when your case is paired. If you have any issues, contact our customer experience team here.

How do I charge my case?

Use your Raden mUSB to USB cable to plug your case into a charging outlet. To charge your case, put the mUSB plug into its designated port on the USB faceplate, and the USB plug into a computer or wall adapter. If you remove the battery from the case, you can charge your battery by directly plugging in the mUSB into the internal Powerbank and USB into a computer or wall adapter.

How do I get the Raden app?

You can download the app for iOS here. Within the app, you can log in with your Raden account that you created when you purchased your case. If you haven’t created an account yet, you can sign up within the app.

How do I weigh my case?

Make sure the case is resting on flat ground on all four wheels. On the app’s weight dashboard, click "Calibrate". The weight sensor will take a few seconds to calibrate. Once calibrated, click the “Weigh my Case” button. You may now lift the case from the center of the top handle. Hold still and ensure case is dangling freely. Your case’s weight will appear on the dashboard.

What do the LED lights represent?

There are two LED colors with various blinking patterns. The blue light is associated with bluetooth, while the white light is associated with the battery. There are various blinking patterns for each color. The tables below summarizes each state:

BLUE (bluetooth)

  • Solid (not blinking): case is paired
  • Blinking fast (2 second intervals): case is looking to pair. The case will revert to blinking slow after 30 seconds (see below)
  • Blinking slow (4 second intervals): case is looking to pair, but the process may take a few seconds longer

WHITE (battery)

  • Fast blinking: this “heartbeat” represents the battery is on low power mode (battery <20%)
  • One second white light: represents that the case has been connected to a power source and is charging

Technology

If someone wants to borrow my case, how do they pair it with the app?

You can either share access to your case or reset your electronics.

To Share Access: In the Raden app, select "Your Account" and click on your case. Tap the “Share case” button. Your case will provide a password prompt before letting you (or your friend) access it.

To Reset Electronics: Insert a long, thin instrument (a Safety pin works great!) into the "Reset" hole on the Bluetooth Dock. Push the instrument until you feel the click of a button, and hold for 5 seconds until all five LED lights on the Powerbank flash. Once the LEDs have flashed, your case has successfully been reset.

How do I use the location features?

On the Raden app’s home screen, click the "Location" link to see a map view of your case’s last known location. This map view is dependent upon the case being within Bluetooth range of a phone that has the Raden app.

How do Raden’s location features work?

Raden’s location awareness feature leverages Crowd GPS technology. Crowd GPS is a no-subscription alternative to traditional GPS, consuming substantially less power and creating less radio-frequency interference than standard GPS modules. The technology uses low-powered Bluetooth signals (Bluetooth Low Energy, or BLE) to send out a signal with a range of 100 feet / 30 meters. When a case's signal is picked up by any nearby user's smartphone with the Raden app, a time-stamped set of coordinates are sent to Raden's Crowd GPS server. This allows the case's owner to see a full history of their case's previously known locations in the Raden app. But don't worry - only the case's owner can view the case's location, and this is not public information that is only accessible by anyone but the owner of the case.

What is the Bluetooth range?

The proximity range is approximately 100 feet. Digital or physical objects like buildings, walls, radio antennas and devices that produce radio frequency signals may interfere from time to time.

How long does it take to charge the battery?

Depending on the power source, Raden’s battery will recharge from 0% to 100% in about 5 to 10 hours.

What happens if the electronics break?

The electronics in your case are protected through Raden’s warranty policy. Review our policy here or contact our customer experience team here.

Are the electronics waterproof?

The electronics are NOT waterproof.

Do the electronics work internationally?

Yes! Take Raden anywhere in the world - you'll be able to charge on the go, determine the weight of your case and track its location using the Raden app.

How many charges can I get out of the battery?

Raden’ powerful 7800mAh battery can fully charge a standard iPhone 6 four to five times.

How do I recharge the battery?

Plug your case into a USB or wall outlet. You may use the cable provided by Raden or any mUSB to USB cord. Charge for a minimum of minutes.

Can I use the battery outside the case?

The battery works just like an external charger, so you can remove the battery from your Raden case and use it to charge your phone anytime, anywhere. To remove your battery from the case, unzip the interior lining and locate a small black pouch. Unzip the pouch to locate the battery. Take out the battery and use it like any other portable powerbank!

What happens if my airline isn't listed as an option to check the weight limit of my case?

The Raden app is continuously working to include weight limitations for every airline. If your carrier or flight isn’t listed, please contact us here and we’ll get on the case.

Case Questions

Why is the Raden case so affordable?

We believe better products lead to better experiences - and better doesn’t necessarily have to cost more. By avoiding middle men and third parties, Raden offers a high-quality case at a reasonable price without paying a million people along the way.

What are the dimensions of the case?

The A22 Carry is 22” x 14” x 8”. These are the maximum allowable dimensions for carry-on luggage. The A28 Check is 28” x 21” x 13”.

How much does the case weigh?

The A22 Carry weighs 7.5 lbs. The A28 Check weighs 9.5 lbs. It’s among the lightest in the luggage industry for German polycarbonate hard-shell cases.

What materials are used in the case?

Raden’s exterior shells are made with a Makrolon® ET German Polycarbonate. The wheels are a mix of nylon and PU/PP plastics. The side handle is a Polyurethane, while the top handle is a blend of PC+ABS, ABS and zinc alloy. Our interior linings are polyester - and completely washable.

Can I use my case as a carry-on?

Of course. The A22 Carry is 22” x 14” x 9”, which is the maximum size and allowable volume for most U.S. airlines.

What is a TSA lock and how do I use it?

In the U.S., the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires access to luggage without the passenger being present. Raden's integrated TSA lock uses zipper pulls without any additional accessories, making it easy for authorized TSA personnel to access to your case for inspection (if necessary).

How do I set or reset my own TSA lock combination?

For initial setting, ensure the combination is set to "0-0-0". Then, using a pen tip, push the lock faceplate’s silver reset button so that it stays down. Slide each number wheel to the 3-digit combination of your choice. Slide the unlocking mechanism so that the reset button pops back to its starting place. Your lock is now reset to your chosen 3-digit combination.

Is the case scratch-resistant?

Raden applies a post-production coating to its polycarbonate shells, which helps prevent scuffing and scratching better than other polycarbonate cases. But a minor scratch or two may make its way onto the case.

My case is damaged. What should I do?

Raden is committed to providing the highest level of service for its customers. Your case is protected under our warranty policy, which you can review here

Raden keeps a full inventory of replacement parts, including handles, wheels, zipper pulls, electronic modules and USB cables. If you need assistance with a repair or replacement part, contact our customer experience team here.

Is the case waterproof?

Absolutely. Raden’s shells are waterproof, as are the reverse-coated Polyurethane zippers which provide a waterproof layer to the zippered seams.

Has the case undergone any regulatory certifications?

Raden’s cases have undergone critical regulatory certifications. Raden is listed under Standard 60950, a globally recognized testing standard for product safety, and we’re officially deemed as Safe Technology Equipment.
