Introduction
The Coolee is a multi-purpose, portable cooler designed to keep you and your refreshments cool, while also providing access to music through your Bluetooth® enabled smart device and the Coolee Bluetooth® speakers.
Simply fill your Coolee with ice cubes, or reusable Cold Packs and a little water, apply power, and enjoy the soothing breeze. Inside the Coolee you can place as many as 12 soda cans (12 oz. / 335 ml) to be ready with a frosty chill.
The Coolee CL-240 blasts cold air with dual high-speed fans and multi- directional air flow nozzles to provide refreshing ice-chilled air for maximum relief.
The CL-240’s temperature management system offers two air cooling options; ambient that uses the chilled air inside the cooler for instant relief, or recirculating water cooling that utilizes a micro-size water pump paired with a heatsink radiator for maximum cooling performance. A shielded impeller pump delivers boosted efficiency at low noise levels.

Setup

Charging the Battery
⚠ WARNING
Plug 110VAC charging cords into a properly grounded electrical receptacle only.
For reliability, a durable injection molded battery case protects the lithium- ion battery cells and the electronics from moisture and harsh environments. The Coolee super-polymer rechargeable 10,000mAh lithium-ion battery lasts up to 4 hours (100 percent). The battery pack may be recharged via a freestanding Docking Station, or while the Battery Pack remains installed in the CL-240. For Docking Station recharging, the Coolee incorporates a quick-release battery system that allows removal from the Coolee.
Charging the Battery in the Docking Station:

1. To remove the battery pack from the Coolee, push down on the “Press” button to release the latch.
2. While depressing the Button, grip the battery’s top panel at the outer edges, and gently pull upward on the battery pack to remove.
3. Next, insert the Battery Pack (with contacts facing down) vertically into the Docking Station.
4. Choose to power the docking station with either the 110VAC power adapter, or the 12VDC power cord.
5. Connect either the 110VAC power adapter; or the12VDC power cord, to the Docking Station’s 12VDC Port.
6. Plug in the opposite end of 110VAC power adapter into a properly grounded wall outlet, or the12VDC power cord to a 12VDC vehicle socket.
7. Charging begins automatically. Remove once a 100 percent charge is achieved.

Charging the Battery in the Coolee:

1. Raise the rubber cover on the Coolee to access the 12VDC Input Port.
2. Choose to charge with either the 110VAC power adapter, or the 12VDC power cord.
3. Connect the 110VAC power adapter, or the12VDC power cord to the Coolee’s 12VDC Input Port.
4. Plug in the opposite end of 110VAC power adapter into a properly grounded wall outlet, or the the12VDC power cord to a 12VDC car socket.
5. Charging begins automatically. Remove once adequate or 100 percent charge is achieved.
   Note: The battery level indicator displays in 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 percent increments. Simply Press and Hold on the rechargeable battery pack to note the battery level.

⚠ CAUTION The Battery Pack should ALWAYS remain in the Coolee while operating on the 110VAC power adapter or the 12VDC power cord operation
Install Adjustable Vents and Nozzles
Both adjustable vents secure onto the Coolee with locking tabs (shown). Straight middle sections latch in place with locking tabs. Air nozzles install by lightly twisting each on / off. Adjustable Vent assemblies feature stay-put ducting and allow maximum directional control and air flow.

Operation
Operating the Coolee is easily accomplished from the Touch Control Panel which operates three on-off functions: fan speeds, cooling pump, and Bluetooth. Power may be supplied to the Coolee through either the 110VAC Power Adapter or the 12VDC power cord. A fully charged Coolee can supply 10,000 mAh of electrical power to charge portable devices through the USB-A port.
Chilling Drinks
Your Coolee can hold up to 12 beverage cans inside its compartment. Once added, simply fill the inner compartment with ice cubes, or reusable cooling packs and water, making sure to add enough water tocover the water pump.

⚠ CAUTION The Water Pump MUST be covered with water during any operation.
Water lubricates, feeds, and cools the pump. Running the pump dry will damage the pump.
Portable Air Cooler
Your Coolee can provide a continuous blast of cool air. Just use the touch button controls on the top panel to begin producing streams of air flow. Each of the Coolee’s dual 46 CFM (Cubic Feet Per Minute) fans deliver cold air up to 35°F / 19°C below the ambient temperature, providing maximum relief instantly. The proprietary cooling system features two cooling fans with separate controls and variable speeds.
Dual-zone climate control allows users to set up to 3 air flow settings. A single ambient air fan (FAN A) pulls chilled air from inside the cooler and blows through one of the vents. A second fan (FAN B) uses recirculating cold water and a miniature radiator that  blows the cool air out through the second vent. For super cooling, fans may be operated simultaneously.
To use the Cooler:

1. Install a fully charged battery.
2. Press and hold the Power On-Off button for 3 seconds to apply power to the Coolee.
3. To operate Fan “A” and adjust the fan speed, press Fan “A” button once for low and twice for high speed (Fan levels will display on the control panel). To shut down Fan A, press and hold the Fan “A” button.
4. To operate Fan “B” and adjust the fan speed, press Fan “B” button once for low and twice for high speed (Fan levels will display on the control panel). To shut down Fan B, press and hold the Fan “B” button.
5. Selecting a low Fan Speed will provide the maximum Coolee running time.
6. To engage the Cooling Pump, press the Cooling Pump On-Off   button for approximately 3 seconds.
7. To access the USB-A Output or 12VDC Input ports, lift the rubber cover and plug in the appropriate power cord.
8. To shut down Power to the Coolee, press and hold for 3 seconds.

Bluetooth Operation
The Coolee includes a Bluetooth® v5.0 receiver that will stream audio files from your Bluetooth enabled smart device and delivers precision sound with up to 8 hours of playing time (depending on fan use and battery charge level). An insulated Bluetooth speaker enclosure is both water resistant and tuned to provide the best sound at every volume level.
