How It Works
In contrast to a traditional fan which brings only cooling benefits when directly facing
you; an air circulator works for any season, keeping the air in motion and making the
entire room more comfortable to be in.
This jet stream helps maintain a constant room temperature by ridding the room of
cold and warm spots. It also clears stuffy atmospheres by circulating stale air with fresh
air from an open window.
Air circulators are the safe, all-year-round temperature regulation solution you’ve been
looking for.
This DC Air circulator can be used both indoors & outdoors and is rechargeable.
Where To Position
During Summer, pointing the air circulator towards a wall halfway between the floor and
the ceiling, as well as using the highest setting, will set up a high speed air circulation
pattern.
This will cool down the room in an efficient manner. Pointing towards your air conditioner
will help distribute the cool air faster, saving time and energy; essentially Turbo boosting
your A/C.
During Winter, the use of a heater alone produces warm air that rises naturally to the
ceiling.
By pointing the air circulator upwards, and utilising the lowest speed setting, the hot air
will circulate with the cooler air near the floor, resulting in a more even room temperature.

Operation
Note: Before usage, ensure you check if the voltage and frequency complies with
local power supply.
ON/OFF
Press the switch of the digital display screen in the centre of the unit to turn the
device on.
WIND SPEED
Rotate the switch to select wind speed. This device uses a stepless speed
functionality. Rotating the switch to the right will gradually increase the wind speed.
The light around the switch is a determination of the wind speed. When the light
ring is completely full, this means the device is operating on maximum wind speed.
When the battery power is less than 40%, the fan will enter a low rotation wind
speed.
OSCILLATION
Press the switch for 3 seconds to enable the fans automatic swing function. The fan
will oscillate up to 60° left and right. To stop this function, press the switch again for
3 seconds.
TILT HEAD
This unit has tilt head functionality. You can tilt the head of the fan 300
° up or down
to angle the fan head to your preferred position.

Over time, dust can accumulate on the grille covers, filter (if applicable) and fan
blades, which can affect the fans performance. It is recommended to clean the fan at
least once a month.
1. Turn the unit OFF and disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
2. Remove any dust build up with a soft brush.
3. Wipe the surface of the unit with a soft damp cloth. Mild detergent can be used
for any stubborn marks.
IMPORTANT
The control panel and other parts must not come into contact with water or any
other liquids.
Storage
If not using the unit for an extended period of time. After cleaning please:
• Turn the unit off, unplug and take care of the mains lead & plug.
•
Cover the unit and store it upright in a location where it will not receive direct
sunlight. NB- Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will discolour the outer casing.
Cleaning
Recharging
To charge this device, connect the adapter into the charging plug at the back of the unit
behind the water proof plug. When charging the unit with the adapter, ensure to connect
the charging head of the product first, and then connect to the external power supply.
The percentage shown on the digital display screen is the amount of battery power left.
The screen will display 100% when completely charged, for one minute.
Note: When charging indoors, ensure to pull out the waterproof plug at the charging
port. It is recommended to always charge indoors, but if charging outdoors, ensure to
plug in the waterproof silicone cover at the charging port.
If the battery power of the unit is greater than 20%, it is possible to charge your phone
and other USB compatible devices using the air circulator. Remove the water proof plug
to see the USB plug, next to the charging plug.
