8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Comfheat Ankle Heating Pad, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Heating pad does not turn on or heat up. | Not properly connected to power source; insufficient power from USB port. | Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into a 5V/2A USB power source. Try a different USB adapter or power bank. |
| Heat feels too low or uneven. | Incorrect heat setting; improper placement on ankle. | Cycle through the heat settings to ensure it's on your desired level (High, Medium, Low). Adjust the pad's position on your ankle to ensure heating elements are directly over the area needing therapy. |
| Limited mobility during use. | The device is not battery-powered and requires a constant connection. | This is expected behavior. Use a power bank for increased portability, or ensure you are near an outlet. The USB cable is 5.9 ft long. |
| Velcro straps do not hold securely. | Velcro is worn out or not properly aligned. | Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free of lint. Re-adjust the straps for a tighter, more secure fit. |
