Operating Instructions

Your Tech Drive Bathroom Exhaust Fan with Light is designed for simple operation using standard wall switches.

Fan Operation

The exhaust fan is controlled by a standard wall switch. Simply toggle the switch to turn the fan ON or OFF. The fan will begin to extract moist air and odors from your bathroom, improving air quality.

LED Light Operation and Color Temperature Selection

The integrated LED light is also controlled by a wall switch. This fan features a 3-Color Temperature (3CCT) selectable LED, allowing you to choose between Warm White (3000K), Natural White (4000K), and Cool White (5000K).

To change the color temperature:

1. Turn the wall switch controlling the light OFF.
2. Turn the wall switch back ON again within 3 seconds. The light color temperature will cycle to the next available option.
3. Repeat this process until your desired color temperature is selected. The fan will remember your last selected setting.

Note: It is recommended to use two separate wall switches to control the fan and the light independently for optimal convenience.
