USING YOUR SMART AIR PURIFIER

Note: Using the VeSync app allows you to control your air purifier remotely and access additional functions and features.

1. Plug in and tap to turn on the air purifier. The fan will start on low speed.

2. Optionally, tap to change fan speed between low, medium, high, and turbo.

Note:

• The fan speed indicators will light up when active. 1 indicator will light up for low, 2 for medium, 3 for high, and 4 for turbo.
• Turbo speed is the loudest, but cleans air the quickest.
• For best results, or to address a specific air quality issue such as smoke, run the air purifier at turbo speed for 15–20 minutes before using a lower speed.
• To effectively clean air, keep windows and doors closed while the air purifier is on.

3. Tap to turn off the air purifier.

Sleep Mode

Sleep Mode operates quietly by using a fan speed lower than low speed.

1. Tap to turn Sleep Mode on/off.
2. Sleep Mode will turn off the display after seconds if no other buttons are tapped.

Note:

• When the display is turned off, tap any button (except ) to turn the display back on. If you don’t tap another button, the display will turn off again after 3 seconds.
• The Check Filter Indicator will still turn on and stay on if it’s time to check your filter

Auto Mode

Auto Mode uses AirSight™ Plus, a smart laser dust sensor inside the air purifier, to adjust the fan speed automatically based on air quality. For example, if the air quality is bad, the fan will automatically be set to high speed.

Note:

• The air purifier will take 5 seconds to detect the air quality each time it is turned on. During this time, the air quality indicator rings will be blue. After 5 seconds, the air quality indicator rings will change color based on the detected air quality.
• Auto Mode does not use the turbo fan speed.
• The VeSync app also supports additional auto modes: Quiet Auto Mode and Efficient Auto Mode

The PM2.5

The PM2.5 value on the display shows the amount of airborne particles (µg) that are detected per 1 cubic meter (m³) of air volume.

PM2.5 refers to particulate matter (PM) that is less than or equal to 2.5 microns (µm) in diameter. These particles, also known as fine particles”, are so small that they can only be detected with an electron microscope, and they stay in the air longer than heavier particles such as dust and mold.

Your air purifier’s AirSight Plus Laser Dust Sensor detects the amount of PM2.5 particles that are in a given space (µg/m³). Generally, the lower the number, the better your air quality.

A number above 115 indicates that there is an unhealthy amount of fine particles in the air.

Timer

You can set a timer for 1–12 hours.

1. Tap . The display will switch from showing the PM2.5 reading to the time you’ve selected.

2. Tap repeatedly to select a time in hour increments. If you don’t touch any buttons for 5 seconds, the display will switch to showing the PM2.5 reading and the timer will start automatically.

Note: Press and hold for 2 seconds to cycle through timer options automatically in hour increments.

3. The timer will count down from your selected time.

Note:

• While a timer is active, tapping will show the remaining time, rounded up to the nearest hour. Tap again within seconds to add more time in 1-hour increments.
• You can see the exact remaining time in the VeSync app.

4. When the timer is finished, the air purifier will turn off.

5. To cancel a timer, tap repeatedly until the display reads “--H”.

Note:

• You can change the fan speed at any time while the timer is on.
• The timer will restart if the time is changed.
• The air purifier will remember the last timer setting while turned off, but the timer will be cancelled and need to be restarted.
• You can set a timer for 1–24 hours in the VeSync app.

Standby Mode

The air purifier is in Standby Mode when it is turned off, but plugged in.

Note: Display Lock can be used while the air purifier is in Standby Mode to keep the air purifier from being turned back on. The laser dust sensor will still detect the surrounding air quality and give you updates in the VeSync app.

Memory Function

When the air purifier is plugged in and turned off, it will remember its previous fan speed, Sleep Mode, Auto Mode, Display Lock, and Display Off settings.

When the air purifier is unplugged and turned off, it will only remember its previous fan speed, Sleep Mode, and Auto Mode.

Note: The air purifier will remember the last timer setting chosen (1–12 hours), but it will not automatically resume the timer. You will need to restart the timer after the air purifier is turned back on.

VeSync App Functions

The VeSync app allows you to access additional smart air purifier functions, including those listed below. As the app develops, more features may become available.

Remote Control

• Change any air purifier settings through the app, even while Display Lock is on.

Timer Function

Air Quality Updates

• View real-time PM2.5 updates in the app.
• See your air quality history for the previous week.

Auto Mode

• Access additional Auto Modes: Quiet Auto Mode and Efficient Auto Mode.
• Quiet Auto Mode uses medium fan speed instead of the high or turbo fan speeds, even when the air quality is poor, to avoid making too much noise.
• Efficient Auto Mode lets you choose the size of the area you want to purify. The air purifier will use the highest fan speed (turbo) to clean the air for a designated amount of time. This time is based on ACH 1 and the size of the room, meaning how long it takes for the air purifier to clean all the air in your room one time, regardless of the air quality. After this, the mode will adjust the fan speed according to the actual detected air quality in the room.

Note: Efficient Auto Mode is useful for purifying odors from the air. The air purifier’s sensor can only detect particles in the air, not smells. Efficient Auto Mode does not rely on the sensor, but the room size instead.

Schedules

• Create and customize schedules for your air purifier to match your routines.

Set a timer between 1–24 hours.

Timer Function

• Set a timer between 1–24 hours.
• Easily view the exact time remaining on a timer.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Smart Air Purifier

• Unplug before cleaning.
• Wipe the outside of the air purifier with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe the housing with a damp cloth, then immediately dry.
• Vacuum the inside of the air purifier.
• Do not clean with abrasive chemicals or flammable cleaning agents.

Check Filter Indicator

will light up as a reminder to check the filter. Depending on how often you use the air purifier, the indicator should turn on at about 12 months. You may not need to change your filter yet, but you should check it when turns on.

When your air purifier is set up with the VeSync app, you can also check the app to see your remaining filter life. You will also receive a notification from VeSync when it’s time to check your filter.

The VeSync app uses a scientific algorithm to determine your filter life based on air quality, amount of use, and other factors. The filter life percentage is based on 12 hours of daily use.

Cleaning the Filter

The outer pre-filter should be cleaned every 2–4 weeks to increase efficiency and extend the life of your filter. Clean the pre-filter using a soft brush or vacuum hose to remove hair, dust, and large particles. Do not clean the filter with water or other liquids.
