Setup
Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the fan using the provided USB Type-C charging cable. Connect the cable to the fan's charging port and a compatible USB power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port, power bank). The LED display will indicate charging status.
Attaching the Lanyard
To attach the anti-loss wrist strap (lanyard), fold the tip of the lanyard into a small hook. This will allow it to slide through the designated hole on the fan more easily. Once through, gently pull to secure it.
Operating Instructions
Power On/Off

Adjusting Fan Speed

Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your fan, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the fan. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the fan in water.
