Operating Instructions
Using the Digital Controller
Your heated throw features two independent digital controllers, allowing individual heat settings for each side of the blanket.
- Power On/Off: Press the Power button (usually marked with a circle and vertical line) to turn the blanket on or off. The display will illuminate when on.
- Adjust Heat Settings: Use the "+" or "-" buttons to cycle through the 10 available heat settings. Start with a low setting and adjust as needed for comfort.
- Auto Shut-Off: The blanket is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature for safety. It will typically turn off after a set number of hours (e.g., 10 hours). Refer to the controller display for specific timer settings if available, or consult the product packaging for the exact duration.
- Pre-heating: For best results, turn on the heated throw 15-30 minutes before use to allow it to pre-heat.
