6.2.1 Choose the suitable power cord plug (1)
6.2.2 Connect the other end (2) of power cord to the battery charger (3)
6.2.3 Insert power cord plug (1) to the proper AC voltage socket.
Charging light on the charger (6) will turn green color repeatedly.
6.2.4 Insert the battery charger plug (4) into the socket of appliance
or battery pack when it is to be charged separately outside the appliance.
6.2.5 One full charge takes about 4.5 hours
- light on the charger (6) turns red: charge ongoing
- light on the charger (6) turns green: charge full
6.2.6 After charging, disconnect the battery charger plug (4) from the socket of
appliance or battery pack, then cover the socket by the protector (5) to
prevent the socket out of dirt and wet.
Only use qualified Lithium Ion battery charger, max. output 29.4VDC, 4.0A
Do not run the appliance during charging.
Must unplug the battery charger from appliance when charging is finished
or anything is to be done on the appliance.
- Every new battery pack comes with 30% power;
- Before the first use, the battery must be fully charged;
- Charge battery at least 1 time every 2 months even when the appliance
or battery is not used.

6.3 Switch:
- Position “0” (1) : Appliance is off
- Position “I” (2) : To show battery volume by indicating light (4)
- Position “II” (3) : Appliance is fogging
☞
To make sure the capacity of
battery goes to the maximum,
suggest to charge one more
hour after charger light turns
green.
However, we recommend one

7. Nozzle and Flow Rate
7.1 Metering nozzle and fog time (measured with water)

red 7 15
flow rate
The ideal condition for suspension of the tiny droplets is around 250C
temperature and 75% relative humidity. Since fine mist is difficult to be
seen, to achieve a satisfying treatment, it is usually carried out by
calculating the fog time and chemical volume rather than by relying on
visible indication.
To get to the fog time,
1. firstly determine the total volume of chemical to be applied according
to the formula as below:
(treated area,M3)x(required chemical ML for 1M3)=total chemical,ML
2. secondly work out the fog time in accordance with following formula:
total chemical,ML
= fog time by minute
flow rate, ML/minute
Before application, make sure you know the size of area to be treated,
total volume of chemical to be used and fog time to be required.
14 AiroStar V. 2021-07
7.2 Changing nozzle
Do not turn or twist the tube.
A different nozzle can achieve a different flow rate. As AiroStar
uses diaphragm pump to achieve flow rate, whether it is oil-base
or water-base solution does not affect much on the flow rate.
To change nozzle, hold the tube adaptor by a 9mm spanner (2)
and turn nozzle (1) clockwise or anti-clockwise.

avoid the solution tube (2) is damaged.
● Always follow chemical supplier’s instruction on the product label for safe use.
● Only prepare sufficient fogging mixture to be required, not to over-fill the

- Press the switch (1) to position II, the fan starts to run; then after 4
seconds, fogging begins automatically.
- Press the switch (1) to position 0, fogging and the fan stop.
Never apply a pesticides, desinfectant or odor counteractant at application
rate higher than the manufactuer’s recommendation.
8.4 After fogging
If necessary, charging the battery after fogging.
● Once fogging completes, to avoid contamination, empty the residue in the
solution tank and fog with clean water or appropriate solvent through the
appliance and rinse the solution tank thoroughly.
