IMPORTANT NOTES – PLEASE READ
This product is used to boost your existing AC or heater's airflow. It allows you to set temperature points where the fans will turn on if the airflow's temperature falls below or rises above the cooling or heating trigger's setting, respectively.
This product has 10 fan speeds from 1-10. Use the fan speed setting to set your desired airflow boosting. Keep in mind the faster the fans spin, the louder they will be.
We’ve designed the fans to ramp up or down, instead of quickly turning on or shutting down to minimize noise and power consumption.
When not changing settings, we recommend staying on the temperature display mode to monitor and accurately gauge your airflow's temperature. Do not use your AC or heater's thermostat reading; it does NOT display the airflow's temperature.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
This mode displays the airflow temperature measured by the probe. While on this display mode, the cooling and heating triggers, as well as the max fan speed setting, are still active unless you disabled them.

COOLING TRIGGER
Use this mode to set the temperature trigger for your air conditioner. Please note you are NOT setting your desired temperature.
In this mode, the fans will run if the probe temperature meets or falls below the trigger’s cold temperature setting. It will not run if the probe temperature is above the trigger’s cold temperature setting.
Press the up or down buttons to set the cooling trigger temperature. To calibrate your register booster fans, turn on your AC and wait for a few minutes until the probe temperature stabilizes. Set your cooling trigger to this number or higher.
To avoid confusion, we recommend disabling the cooling trigger when not using your AC. To disable it, hold the mode button for two seconds. The display will show OF. We also recommend returning to the temperature display mode once you finish adjusting your cooling trigger.
