Fiber Optic Jacket Repairs
Does JFMagic repair jackets made by ANI-Motion that is no longer in business?
Yes, any jacket previously manufactured by ANI-Motion is repairable IF the jacket has not been destroyed by fire, crushing, or other means that would render the electronics totally inoperable. There is a flat fee of $100 for MOST repairs. In addition, the shipping costs to send the inoperable coat and receive it must be paid as well.

Mobile
Alert/Cell-U-Lert Adaptor
Why does the Mobile Alert bracelet flash
sometimes when my cellphone doesn't receive a call?
The circuit in the charm is designed to detect any mobile
phone in use nearby and in addition will detect other devices using
the same frequencies found in mobile phones, as for example, home portable
phones working on the 900 Megahertz band.
How do I know when to change the batteries?
With your headphones on, plug
the cord into the adaptor. If you hear no beeping tones through your
earphones right away, the batteries need replacing.
Where do I buy
new batteries?
The coin cell batteries (model 2032) are available in
most drug stores, Radio Shacks, some Dollar stores, and Internet battery
suppliers. Costs range
from under a dollar to a few dollars per battery depending upon source.
How do I turn the Adaptor off?
The adaptor is designed to
turn on automatically upon inserting the headphone jack and turn off
upon its removal.
Why is there a volume control?
Sometimes you might want
to adjust the volume of the alert tone. For example, when you have
the volume of the music set very
low so you
can hear
surrounding sounds, you might want to lower the volume of the
alert tone so that it isn’t
too loud when activated. Conversely, if the music is blasting
in the headphones, you might wish to adjust the alert tone to be very
loud.
How often should I replace the batteries?
Typically, the
batteries should last for months in detection mode, but the estimated
battery life is dependent upon how many
phone calls are
received and how long each one lasts. The best practice
to prolong battery life would
be to unplug your headphones from the adaptor while you
talk on your cellphone. In this way, the adaptor will not need any
power to keep
the alert tone
going while you’re holding a conversation. Once your
call is completed, plug the headphones back into the adaptor
to activate
the detection feature.

Fiberoptic Apparel and Custom Fiberoptic Signage
How do I order Fiber Optic Apparel?
There are a few dealers who offer these unique creations for sale. Contact info@jfmagic.com for the name of a dealer closest to your location. JF Magic only sells products through distributors and dealerships.
Where do I get batteries for fiber optic caps and other fiber optic products?
Battery Sources:
Most drug stores carry the coin cell batteries used in the caps, bags, and other products designed by JFMagic. The most common coin cell is the CR2032, but others including (CR2016, CR2025, CR 2450, etc.) are available on the internet. Type in “Batteries” in your search engine to obtain a list of suppliers.
How do I replace batteries?
Replacing Batteries
- Unscrew retainer side of plastic battery compartment. (Coin Cell Type 2032.)
- Pry the coin cells out noting their positions with regards to the positive and negative sides (positive side facing up, negative side facing down.)
(Batteries are standard 2032 style used in cameras and may be found at most drug stores, camera shops, and Radio Shack stores. Battery Life approximately 10-20 hours.)
How can I order a coat with fiber optics with a design that I make up?
Custom products are available directly from JF Magic, however, the cost is quite expensive for the first prototype. There are many hours of artistic, graphic, and software development, custom printed circuit board, labor, and machine time involved. Call to discuss your special project with a professional who will guide you through each step.
What would a custom piece cost using the same amount of fiberoptics found in the “Fireworks” or “Star field” jacket shown?
The first custom piece containing a total of 1000-2000 points of light to define a series of animated frames would fall within the range of $1500-2000. From that point on, the wholesale cost for the same piece on a jacket or other surface would cost between $350-$550. The Fireworks and Starfield denim jackets wholesale at $499 each.
If I buy a Fireworks coat, can I place my own embroidery on it or add anyone’s embroidery to it?
Of course, in fact we have seen this done by one consumer who bought one and added embroidered Disney characters cut out of another article of clothing. The resulting creation caught the attention of many Disney fans.
If I wear one of these jackets in the rain, will it still work?
The jackets are water resistant and will even function underwater. The battery case is not waterproof, but since it is inside a pocket, rain will not affect the operation of the jacket’s animation functions.
Since the jacket is run by batteries, will I get a shock if it rains?
No, the 6 volts that are necessary to run the electronics of these jackets, jeans, etc. is not sufficient enough power to give anyone a shock.

Floral Stars
How do I turn the Floral Stars on?
You must first unscrew the
battery case and remove the paper insulator placed inside designed
to prevent accidental activations
during shipping. Replace
the battery holder and depress the switch.
After I removed the insulator,
the unit still did not function, what next?
Tighten the battery case
further until the unit lights. The battery case is equipped with a
watertight seal and the rubber ring
may prevent
the unit from functioning if it is not screwed on tight.
How long
before I need to replace the batteries?
The Floral Star unit will typically run 24/7 for 4 weeks on one set of “AA” alkaline batteries.
