Adjusting the Air Flow direction
The construction of this fan allows you to
manually adjust the airflow direction by adjusting
and repositioning the fan head angle.
Unlockthetwotiltlockingknobsoneachsideof
the fan head mount to the stand, tilt the fan head
to the desired angle and tighten the tilt locking
knobs to secure the position.
Note: Do not force lift or push the fan head
direction position with the tilt lock knobs
fully locked. The fan head does not rotate a
full 360 Degree, the most eective airflow
direction is by having the top of the fan
head positioned between 10 and 2 O’clock.
Charging Other Appliances
The fan construction facilitates for the built-in
baerytofunctionasaPowerbanktocharge
smaller electronic devices.
InsertaUSBchargingcableintotheUSB
OutputInterfaceatthebackoftheunit.Itis
able to charge mobile phones or similar 5V DC
rechargeable devices.
Safety Protection Device
Thefanandbaerieshasabuilt-inbaery
charge safety protection device to protect
againstbaeryoverchargingandlowvoltage
discharging.
Withthebaeryfullycharged,theprotection
devicewillautoshut-ochargingpowertothe
baery,equallyitwillautoshut-owhenthe
baeryvoltageislowerthanthedefaultseing
of the fan.
When this occurs simply wait for a few minutes
and after auto reset can turn fan back on.
Auto Stop
Incorporated in the design of the fan, it has an
Auto-Stop feature, where accidental obstruction
of a moving fan blade will stop the fan motor
from running and restore fan movement when
obstructing object is removed.
Should obstruction happen 4 consecutive times,
the fan will stop completely.
Inthatinstanceturnspeed-On/Ocontroldialto
theOFFpositionandturnbackOnagaintorestore
fan blade movement.
Warning: Do not insert ngers or objects
intentionally to obstruct fan blade
movement as this may cause injury.
