Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the fan and the surface of the cooling pad to prevent dust accumulation, which can impede airflow and fan performance. Use a soft, dry cloth or compressed air. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the fan or electronic components.
• Storage: When not in use, store the cooling pad in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

• Fan Not Spinning:
  • Ensure the USB connection cable is securely plugged into both the cooling pad and a functioning USB port on your laptop.
  • Try connecting the cooling pad to a different USB port on your laptop or another device to rule out a faulty port.
  • Check if the fan speed control is set to a minimum or off position. Adjust it to increase speed.
• Insufficient Cooling:
  • Verify that your laptop's intake and exhaust vents are not obstructed by the cooling pad or other objects.
  • Increase the fan speed to its maximum setting.
  • Ensure the cooling pad is placed on a hard, flat surface to allow for proper airflow underneath.
• USB Ports Not Functioning:
  • Confirm the main USB connection to your laptop is secure and providing power.
  • Test the peripheral device by connecting it directly to your laptop to ensure it is working correctly.
  • Some high-power USB devices may not function correctly through the cooling pad's hub due to power limitations. Connect such devices directly to your laptop.
