	In order to use the deicer, you must have rez rights on the land on which you are using it, both for the wand, and for the invisible "bullets" that are rezzed as part of the system. If the land is a public rez spot, such as at most SL airports, then there should be no issues. If you are on land that requires you to be in a group to rez, there are some caveats due to [https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SCR-395 SCR-395]. Due to this SL bug, a wand attached in an area that requires you to be in a group to rez will not be set to that group when it attaches via script. As a result, it will not be able to ez the "deicer bullets" needed to function. A workaround for this is to temporarily changing your group to another group, then back to the land group after the wand attaches. Alternatively, you can manually change the group of the wand by editing it.

		+	==== Manual Wand Attachment ====
		+
		+	If the wand fails to attach for some reason (e.g., you were on no-rez land when attaching the backpack), you can manually attach the wand by clicking on the backpack and selecting "Get Wand" from the menu. This will rez the wand which will then request to attach as explained above.
		+
		+	==== Access ====
		+
		+	You can control which totes can be used to fill your backpack through the Access menu. Click the packback and select Access, then click one of Owner (only owner totes can be used), Group (Only owner or group owned totes can be used), or Public (all totes can be used).

−	Due to [https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SCR-395 SCR-395], a wand attached in an area that requires you to be in a group to rez may not be able to rez the "deicer bullets" needed to function. The reason is that objects attached by script do not take on the group of the avatar when attaching. If this happens, it can be fixed by temporarily changing your group to another group, then back to the land group after the wand attaches.
