OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CHARGING
The Petite Style Cordless Straightener is so easy to use. But before you start using your new appliance you must take the time to CHARGE FULLY OVERNIGHT BEFORE FIRST USE.

1. When preparing the appliance for charging, be sure the micro USB input on the charging cable supplied (Fig. 1) is plugged into the appliance before plugging the USB charging cord into a USB-powered port such as a laptop, or desktop charger, car charger or mobile phone charging adaptor.
   NB – Before charging the appliance, please use the supplied USB charging cord, and always ensure that the rated output of a computer/adaptor to which the USB port is connected to is 5V DC 1A.

2. The LED indicator light will flash while charging. When the appliance is fully charged & the charger is still connected, the battery indicator light remains solid. NOTE: The LED indicator light will be off after removing the USB charging cable from a power source if the appliance is switched off.

NB – The appliance may become a little warm when charging or during use. This is normal.

CORDLESS USE
3 hours charge will give you up to 20min cord-free use. In-use time will vary depending on heat setting selected and hair type.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
When the battery charge reaches less than 5 seconds remaining, the LED indicator light will flash 5 times continuously, & then the appliance will automatically shut off.

Please note your appliance will not function while charging. It is designed for cordless use only.

PRESERVING THE BATTERY
In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the lithium-ion rechargeable battery, the appliance should be recharged for 3 hours approximately every 3 months. Even though the appliance may not be used for an extended period of time if in storage, it should be recharged every 3 months for approximately 3 hours to preserve the battery life. Do not leave lithium-ion battery unused for extended periods of time.

CHARGING TROUBLESHOOTING

• Make sure the micro USB connector is pushed all the way into the micro USB input on the appliance.
• If using a USB-powered port such as a laptop, desktop charger, car charger or USB charging adaptor, check to see if the USB port is working by plugging in another USB device.
• If both the adaptor and outlet are working, try another micro USB cable with a charging current of 1A or more.
• Make sure the unit is completely cool before charging.

My straightener will not charge

Possible Cause:
Electricity is not reaching the straightener through the USB charging port.

Solution:
Try a different charging source such as a laptop, desktop charger, car charger or mobile phone charging adaptor. When the USB cable is plugged in, the LED indicator light will flash, indicating the battery is charging. If not, check to make sure it is properly plugged in at both the power source and the unit.

My straightener will not hold a charge / keeps shutting off Possible Cause: Battery may not be charging.

Solution:
Make sure the straightener is fully charged overnight before you use it for the first time. After a full discharge, it should take another 3 hours to fully recharge. The LED indicator light will flash while the straightener is charging. Once fully charged & the charger is still connected, the battery indicator light remains solid. In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the lithium-ion rechargeable battery, the appliance should be recharged for 3 hours approximately every 3 months. Even though the straightener may not be used for an extended period of time if in storage, it should be recharged every 3 months for approximately 3 hours to preserve the battery life. Do not leave lithium-ion batteries unused for extended periods of time.
The battery takes longer than 3 hours to charge

Possible Cause:
The electricity source may not be full power. Solution: It is recommended to charge the straightener overnight before first use using the USB charging cable supplied. Charge times will vary depending on the type of adapter and power source being used. Charging with a laptop will take longer than using a USB plug adapter in a power outlet. When the USB charging cable is plugged in, the LED indicator light will flash, indicating the battery is charging. If not, check to make sure it is properly plugged in at both the power source and the unit.

My straightener doesn’t work. It won’t heat up

Possible Cause:
The straightener might not be fully charged.

Solution:
Make sure the straightener is fully charged overnight before you use it for the first time. After a full discharge, it should take another 3 hours to fully recharge. The LED indicator light will flash while the straightener is charging. Once fully charged & the charger is still connected, the battery indicator light remains solid. In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the lithium-ion rechargeable battery, the appliance should be recharged for 3 hours approximately every 3 months. Even though the straightener may not be used for an extended period of time if in storage, it should be recharged every 3 months for approximately 3 hours to preserve the battery life. Do not leave lithium-ion batteries unused for extended periods of time.

My straightener doesn’t work when plugged in

Possible Cause:
When the straightener is charging, other functions are turned off.

Solution:
This straightener is not cord/cordless, which means that it cannot be used while it is charging. It is designed so that it will not operate while it is charging. Once it is fully charged again, unplug it to resume cordless operation.

SAFETY AUTO SHUT-OFF
For added safety and to preserve battery life.
If the styler is switched on and idle for more than 15 minutes, it will automatically shut off. This does not mean the battery is dead. If you want to continue using the styler, press & hold the on/off button for at least 2 seconds to turn it on again.

AIR TRAVEL
Please note that this appliance contains a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and may be carried as part of your carry-on baggage. This is subject to the individual airline’s discretion. We advise to check directly with the airline before you travel.

HOW TO USE

Wash, condition & dry your hair as normal.

Ensure your hair is combed through & tangle-free.

1. Once the straightener is fully charged, remove the charging cable from the power source, then press & hold the on/off button for at least 2 seconds to turn on – the straightener will default to 180°C.
   TIP – keeping the plates closed & the hinge lock in place will help the straightener heat up quicker.

2. To unlock the straightening plates, push the hinge lock to the left.

3. Adjust the heat setting depending on your desired style – choose between 180°C or 205°C by pressing the on/off button to adjust. The green LED is 180°C, and the red LED is 205°C.

4. Divide your hair into sections, take a horizontal section no wider than the plate of the straightener & clamp the plates over the section then glide down slowly & evenly. Repeat this through all desired sections.

5. After use, turn your straightener off by pressing & holding the on/off button.

6. To protect the straightening plates when not in use, hold the plates closed & push the hinge lock to the right to lock the plates closed.

NB – this appliance is perfect for easy touch-ups on the go.

Allow straightener to cool before storing.

HOW TO STYLE WITH THE CORDLESS STRAIGHTENER

STRAIGHTEN
Start with clean & dry hair, thoroughly combed through hair. Apply a heat spray for extra protection & longer-lasting results. Straighten your hair in sections ensuring you go over each section once to get that gorgeous, silky finish. If you are needing to go over the section more than once, creating thinner sections will help create straight hair in the first glide.

VOLUME
Create volume by making a curved movement with your wrist as you glide the straightener down the hair section.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Your straightener is designed for household use & is virtually maintenance- free. If cleaning becomes necessary, disconnect the straightener from the power source, if charging & ensure the straightener is cool before wiping with a damp cloth. If any abnormal conditions occur contact Conair Customer Service.
