Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the surface of the cooling pad and the fan grilles with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust accumulation. Dust can impede airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.

- Storage: When not in use, store the cooling pad in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Cable Care: Ensure the USB cable is not bent sharply or tangled, as this can damage the cable and affect connectivity.
