6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your heated blanket, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Blanket Not Heating or Not Heating Well:
  Ensure the blanket is powered on and set to a sufficient heat level. Allow adequate time for the blanket to heat up, as it may take a few minutes to reach the desired temperature. Check that the power cord is securely plugged into both the blanket and the wall outlet.
• Only Parts of the Blanket Are Getting Warm:
  This is often caused by bunched or pinched heating elements. Lay the blanket flat and untucked. Gently run your fingers along the wires to straighten any twisted sections. Ensure the blanket is spread out evenly and not folded or balled up during use.
• Controller Displaying an Error Code:
  Unplug the blanket from the wall outlet for a few minutes, then plug it back in. If the error persists, consult the full instruction manual (if provided separately) or contact customer support.
• Wi-Fi Connection Issues:
  Ensure your blanket is within range of your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Restart your Wi-Fi router and try reconnecting through the app. Verify that your smartphone is also connected to a 2.4GHz network during the initial setup process.
