Air is pulled in through the bottom of the unit where particles such as dust, dander, and pollen collect on the HEPAtech

filter, leaving the air emitted from the front of the SOLO2 clean and fresh for your personal space. Figure 1. The carbon pre-filter on the front of the filter also helps to eliminate odors from the air. The fan within the unit ensures that air is pulled into the unit and forced through the filter to provide fresh air wherever SOLO2 is setup. Refer to Figure

Filter Life Counter: Filter life is critical to the proper operation of your Personal Air Cleaner. The SOLO2 software is equipped with life counters to let you know when your filter needs to be checked. Every 2800 hours of running time your SOLO2 software will flash amber on the Hunter Logo and Check Filter button. The Hunter Logo on the front of the SOLO

unit will also flash amber. Figure 2. Hold the Filter Reset button on the back of the unit in for 3 seconds to reset the filter counter and turn off the amber LED or press the Filter Reset button under Filter. Although filter life is dependant on your environment, this will give you a good indication of when you should check your filter. (See page 8 for filter ordering or click the “filter” button on your software interface to order over the web.)

Computer Power Sync: Allows you to set your SOLO2 to turn on/off with your computer. When selected, whenever your computer is started, the SOLO2 will start as well. Selecting again will require you to start the unit either through the interface or the touch controls on the product.

Sleep Mode ON/OFF: selecting this mode, the unit will shut down when your windows system goes into sleep mode and start back up when sleep mode is cancelled. When selected again, the SOLO2 will continue to run even when windows is in sleep mode.

My Air Time: Your Solo2 Personal Air Cleaner software gives you the ability to record “programs” you can run at any given time. Click the My Air Time button and choose Record from the drop down panel. You may record a maximum of 24 hours running time. During this time frame, you may move the fan slider freely to adjust output during your recording session. When you have finished your recording session, Select Record to end. Then select the days of the week you wish the program to run.

NOTE: While recording your programs, your My Air Time button will be red and “Recording” will show at the bottom of the interface. When your unit is not recording a program but does have a program active, that programs time frame will be displayed at the bottom of the SOLO2 interface and your My Air Time button will be blue.

Example: You start recording your program at 5PM, change your speed to high at 7PM then move the speed control down to low at 10PM. At 11PM you end your program and select all weekdays as your program cycle. Your SOLO2 will come on during the week at 5PM and run till 11PM, adjust the fan speed to high at 7PM and low at 10PM.

Time: Displays the current computer time.

NOTES: When any feature on the SOLO2 is

active, that button on your computer’s interface will be blue.

To close any features drop down panel, click the triangle at the bottom of the drop down panel.
