3. Setup and Charging

Initial Charge

Before first use, fully charge the multi-styler overnight. This ensures optimal battery performance.

Image: The multi-styler connected to a USB charging cable via its Micro USB input (5V 2.4A MAX). The text indicates up to 25 minutes of cord-free runtime and the need for overnight charging before first use.

Charging Process

1. Connect the removable USB charging cable to the multi-styler's charging port.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port). A 2.4 amp adapter is recommended for faster charging.
3. The charging indicator light will flash during charging.
4. The unit is fully charged when the battery light stops flashing and remains solid.

Note: Charge time may vary depending on the adapter and power source used. The multi-styler provides up to 25 minutes of cord-free runtime, which can vary based on heat setting and hair type.

Handle Adjustment

• For Straight Styles: Unlock the handle to allow the plates to open and close freely.
• For Wavy/Curly Looks: Lock the handle to keep the plates closed, transforming the tool into a curling wand.

4. Operating Instructions

Powering On and Setting Temperature

1. Press and hold the power button to turn on the multi-styler.
2. Press the power button again to cycle through the styling modes (straightening or curling).
3. Use the +/- buttons to select your desired temperature from the 4 available heat settings (up to 400°F).
4. Allow approximately 60 seconds for the tool to heat up to the selected temperature.

Styling Hair

The titanium plates and outer barrel are designed to glide smoothly through hair for polished results.

• For Straightening: Ensure the handle is unlocked. Take a small section of dry hair, place it between the plates, and gently glide the styler from roots to ends.
• For Curling/Waving: Ensure the handle is locked. Take a small section of dry hair, wrap it around the heated barrel, hold for a few seconds, then release.

Expert Tip: On a low heat setting, use the outer barrel to smooth flyaways for a polished finish.

Automatic Shut-off

The multi-styler features an auto-off function. It will automatically shut off after 15 minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life and for safety.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning

Ensure the multi-styler is turned off, unplugged (if charging), and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the plates and outer barrel with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.

Storage

Store the multi-styler in a cool, dry place. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance, as this can damage the cord. The compact design allows it to fit easily in a handbag or gym bag for travel.

6. Troubleshooting

• Appliance not heating up or barely warm: Ensure the unit is fully charged. Verify the correct temperature setting has been selected. Allow sufficient time (approx. 60 seconds) for the styler to reach the desired temperature.
• Short battery life: Battery runtime is up to 25 minutes and can vary based on the selected heat setting and hair type. Ensure the unit is fully charged before use. If battery life significantly degrades over time, the internal batteries may be nearing the end of their lifespan.
• Hair getting caught or pulled: Ensure hair is detangled before styling. Use small, manageable sections of hair. Check for any debris or damage on the styling plates or barrel that might snag hair.
• Styler turns off unexpectedly: The unit has an automatic shut-off feature after 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery. If it turns off during active use, ensure it is fully charged.
