Now screw securing nut for grille (3) back onto the motor housing (1) to fix the protection grille rear (2) in position.
Attach the fan blade (4) to the motor housing (1) and fix it in position with the fastening knob (5). Tighten the knob (5) to secure the fan blade (4).
Place the protection grille front (6) onto the protection grille rear (2) and turn the grilles clockwise until they snap into place.

Setting up / operation

Place Finn / Finn mobile in the desired location on a flat surface. Finn: Connect the mains cable (20) to a socket with the correct voltage rating. Finn mobile: Remove the cover for the connector for the USB-C cable (22) from the manual (page 7). Keep the cover in a safe place as it is essential for outdoor use: it protects the device against the ingress of water and dust. Charge the battery completely before using the device for the first time (approx. 3 hours). To do this, connect the USB-C cable to the device (22) and plug the power adapter (21) to a socket with the correct voltage rating. The progress of the charging process is shown by the illuminated LEDs (1 LED at 20 %, 2 LEDs at 40 %, 3 LEDs at 60 %, 4 LEDs at 80 % and 5 LEDs at 100 %). When the battery is fully charged, the battery status display (23) goes out. If the bottom LED starts to flash, the battery is almost empty (charge level 10 % or less). After the battery has been fully charged for the first time, you can operate the appliance without the cable using the power from the integrated rechargeable battery. A fully charged battery will give the appliance a running time of up to 35 h*.
Finn’s mobile is splash-proof (IP44) certified, making him suitable for use in covered areas outdoors. In such cases, the USB-C connector (22) must always be protected using the cover provided (see page 7). Make sure that your device is not exposed to rain or snow. The device should only be charged by plugging it into a power socket indoors.
Switch on the appliance by pressing the on/off button (10). The appliance gives an audible signal. When the device is used for the first time, the motor will have to align itself first. This can take a couple of seconds. Note: The device can be controlled using the buttons on the appliance or via the remote control, which offers more functions.
Press the button for the selection of the speed level (15) on the remote control (14) to change the fan speed (levels 1–8). Pressing the «+» button once increases the speed by one level. Pressing the «-» button reduces the speed level. If you would like to increase/reduce the speed by another level, press again. The selected level is shown by the number of illuminated LEDs (13) (1 LED for level 1, 2 LEDs for level 2, 3 LEDs for level 3, etc.). Note: You can change the speed level on the device itself by briefly pressing the on/off button (10). Pressing multiple times increases the level from 1 to 8 and starts again at 1 when you continue tapping.
For optimum distribution of cooling air from left to right, activate the horizontal swing function (12). The appliance now swings at an angle of 120 ° to ensure optimum distribution of cooling air throughout the room. Press the swing mode button (12) again if the appliance is to remain at a certain angle.
The vertical tilt of the fan can be manually adjusted to an angle of 0–90 °. To change the angle, grasp the fan head with both hands and carefully tilt it to the desired position.
Press the button for the selection of “Natural Breeze” mode (16) for natural wind conditions. This mode provides an even more pleasant cooling effect, simulating a natural breeze. The fan speed of this breeze automatically varies depending on the selected speed level.
By pressing the button for the timer (11) you can set the operating time to between 1 and 8 hours. The selected time is displayed above the timer button (11) with white LEDs (13). Press once to set the operating time to 1 h, press the button again for 2 h, and so on. The display (13) disappears after 4 seconds and shows the speed level. To check the remaining operating time, briefly press the timer button (11). The LED display (13) then lights up again. The unit switches off automatically after the set operating time has elapsed. The illuminated LED next to the timer button (11) indicates that the timer function is active. If this LED is not illuminated, the unit is set to continuous operation.
Finn mobile: On the top of the foot (9), you will find the status display for the battery (23):
- Normal operation with a fully charged battery: LEDs are not illuminated
- Battery level 10 % or lower: bottom LED flashes
- Battery is charging: LEDs are illuminated constantly
- When the device is fully charged, the LEDs will go out. You can now disconnect the USB cable and use the device in battery mode (up to 35 hours*). To check the battery status, briefly press the button (24). The status of the battery is shown by the number of illuminated LEDs (1 LED at 20%, 2 LEDs at 40%, 3 LEDs at 60%, 4 LEDs at 80% and 5 LEDs at 100%).
The remote control (14) is in the compartment for remote control (18) on the back of the appliance. It operates via infrared – for this purpose, point the remote control at the infrared receiver on the front of the unit. The battery compartment (19) is on the back of the remote control (14). This can be opened by pushing the cover downwards.
If you find the lamps too bright (in a bedroom for example), you may deactivate (activate) the LEDs by pressing the night mode button (17). You can choose between two different modes::
- Normal mode (default mode)
- Light-off mode (press once)
- By pressing the night mode button (17) once more, you can go back into normal mode.
- Note: In night mode (LED switched off), the speed level is automatically set to level 1. However, the speed level can be changed manually by pressing the button for the selection of the speed level (15). The status display for the battery (23) cannot be switched off during charging.
Switch off the appliance by pressing the on/off button (10) for 3 seconds.
