Setup and power

Place it indoors on a flat, well-ventilated surface and connect power. The LCD turns on. There is no separate power button.

Where to place it

  • Put it on a flat, clean surface.
  • Leave space between the bottom vents and the surface. Blocked vents can cause a fault.
  • Keep it at least 10 cm (4 in) from walls.
  • Avoid very hot or cold places and very dry or humid places.
  • Do not use it on carpets, bedding or towels.

Connecting power

  • Connect the included USB-C cable and adapter to the power input on the back.
  • Unplugging the cable stops the unit. Reconnect within 3 minutes and it resumes where it left off.

Always use an adapter that matches the rated voltage.

Use the included adapter, or for a replacement, a USB-C PD adapter rated 36 W or higher with 12 V output. Phone chargers and power banks may not work or may shut off during use.
