Mounting the Base
The base for the Fresh Air To Go can be mounted using the
included suction cups, velcro, or screws, depending on preference.
When using suction cups or velcro, be sure the surface is smooth
and clean. Dirt, grease, protectants, and other substances will
affect performance and holding ability.
• Apply clear urethane feet
before mounting base, then...
• peel and stick one part of the
velcro to the base, then
• attach the other to a clean,
dry surface, or...
• attach suction cups by pressing
and twisting into the base, or...
• screws may be used for extra
security and where the other
methods are not appropriate.

Adjusting the Wire Stand
4
Wire Stand Positions
The wire stand on the Fresh Air To Go allows for quick release from the
base, provides a stand or hanger for the unit independent of the base,
and allows the unit to either stand or hang from the base depending
on how the base is mounted.
To adjust the wire stand, loosen the two knobs on the sides of the
unit approximately 1/2 turn. The unit may then be tilted up or down
to adjust the angle or moved on the wire stand to change the height.
You can also remove and change the position of the wire stand to
accomodate several different mounting methods. To reinstall, simply
align the two clamp collars and insert the wire stand. Once the unit is
adjusted, tighten both knobs to hold it in place.
OR
• Sitting on a flat surface with or without the base
• Hanging over an edge pointing down (laundry
hamper, garbage can, etc)
• Sitting on a flat surface without the base
• On a vertical surface with the base (wall mount,
window, etc.)
• Hanging over an edge pointing up (seat pocket
in car)
• Hanging from an inclined surface (windshield,
under dash, etc)
• Hanging on an edge pointing in (closet shelf)
• Hanging on an edge pointing out (shelf edge)

Power Adapters
5
Fresh Air To Go comes with both a 12 volt DC car adapter and a
100 - 240 volt 50/60 Hz AC adapter with interchangeable plugs.

appropriate 12 volt automotive
type power outlet.
• Insert the small adapter plug into
the opening located underneath at
the rear of the unit.
OR
• Select and install the proper international plug
into the AC adapter. Insert correctly assembled
adapter into a standard electrical outlet.

correctly assemble may cause damage to the case.

Cleaning Troubleshooting
7
Depending on conditions, your Fresh Air To Go will require periodic
cleaning of certain internal components every one to three months.
To perform proper cleaning, remove the RCI Target, UV bulb, and
Ecotech Purification Plate as shown (see Dissasembly, page 6).
RCI Target
Clean the target with a soft brush and hot water. Allow to dry
thoroughly before reinstalling.
UV Bulb
The UV bulb should be gently wiped with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid
handling the UV bulb more than necessary.
Ecotech Purification Plate
The top area of the Ecotech Purification Plate can be cleaned with
ammonia or alcohol and a cotton swab. Do not use water.
Case
Clean the exterior case of your Fresh Air To Go with a soft cloth
dampened (not wet) with water. Do not use harsh chemicals or
solvents.
Fan / Interior of unit
The interior and fan may be cleared of dust using canned air
suitable for electronics.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should your Fresh Air To Go unit be operated
while any part of the case is damaged, missing, or disassembled. If the case is
damaged, return your unit to EcoQuest for repair or replacement. Direct exposure to
the internal UV light may cause eye damage.
Unit does not operate / the fan does not operate / all LEDs off
• Unplug and reinsert the adapter plug and adapter.
• Press the FAN UP or FAN DOWN buttons to turn the unit on.
• If using the 12VDC car adapter, remove the fuse by unscrewing the end of the adapter
and check to see if it is blown. Replace it with the same type and rating fuse only (see
Specifications). If the fuse is not blown, check the outlet for proper voltage.
Purifier Plate / UV bulb may not be working
• Press the PURIFIER UP or PURIFIER DOWN buttons to turn the Purifier function ON.
• Remove the UV bulb and Ecotech Purification Plate, clean, and reinstall (see
Disassembly and Cleaning).
• If cleaning and reinstalling the plate does not correct the problem, replace the plate.
• When looking through the rear inlet vents in low light you should see a slight bluish
glow. If there is no glow and reinstalling doesn’t correct the problem, replace the bulb.
Lack of air flow
• Make sure the intake vents are not blocked and the front of the unit is clear.
• Check to see if the fan is operating (if not, see above).
If your unit fails to operate properly after performing troubleshooting, contact your
EcoQuest Dealer for further assistance, contact EcoQuest at the address in this manual,
or visit www.EcoQuest.com for additional support.
