1. Fan Does Not Turn ON

  1. Check whether the battery is depleted.

  3. Connect the cable to a suitable 5V power adapter.
  4. Allow the fan to charge.
  5. Disconnect the cable and press and hold the Power / Control Button for approximately 2 seconds.

Do not use the fan while charging, for optimal battery health.

2. Fan Does Not Turn OFF

The fan uses a long press for power control.

  1. Locate the Power / Control Button.
  2. Press and hold it for approximately 2 seconds.
  3. Confirm that the fan switches OFF.

A short press cycles through the speed levels; it is not the normal power-on / power-off action.

After the fan is switched ON, use a short press to cycle through the speeds.

6. Display Does Not Show Battery or Fan Status

  1. Press and hold the Power / Control Button for 2 seconds to switch ON the fan.
  2. Check whether the display shows the battery or fan setting.
  3. If the fan does not respond, charge it using the Type-C cable and a 5V power adapter.
  4. Disconnect the cable and check the display again.

The display is intended to show battery status and fan settings.

7. Runtime Is Shorter Than Expected

The working time is approximately 3–11 hours. Runtime varies according to the selected speed and usage conditions.

  • Use a lower speed when longer runtime is required.
  • Higher speed settings may reduce the available operating time.
  • Charge the fan fully before extended use.

  2. Switch it OFF if it is safe to do so.
  3. Disconnect the charging cable if connected.
  4. Do not open, puncture or disassemble the device.
  5. Contact Portronics Support for further assistance.
