Thank you for purchasing this SHARP Plasmacluster Ion Generator.
Please read this manual carefully before using Plasmacluster Ion
Generator.
After reading, keep the manual in a convenient location for future
reference.
Please read instructions carefully before using this unit as below.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be
followed, including the following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock, fi re or injury :
• Do not operate switches while driving. (Doing so could lead to accidents.)
• Do not install the unit in places where it could hamper visibility to the front or driving
operations, or in places where it could be dangerous to passengers. (Doing so could lead
to accidents or injury.)
• Do not put in places exposed to direct sunlight. (Doing so could cause warping or
malfunction.)
• This unit is designed exclusively for use in vehicles with 12V batteries. Do not use it
in other vehicles. Do not use the unit in large trucks, buses or other vehicles with 24V
batteries. (Doing so could lead to fi re or electric shock.)
• Do not damage or modify the cord. Also, do not use the cord if it is damaged.
(The damaged section could cause short-circuiting and the cord could melt, leading to fi re.)
If the cord is damaged, contact your store of purchase or SHARP authorized Service
Centre.
• Do not pull on the cord when unplugging the cigar plug or the unit connection plug. (Doing
so could damage the cord, leading to fi re or electric shock.)
• Do not plug in or unplug the cigar plug or the unit connection plug with wet hands. (Doing
so could cause electric shock.)
• When transporting, be careful not to drop the unit or subject it to shocks.
(Doing so could cause injury or damage.)
If the unit drops or get damaged, contact your store of purchase or SHARP authorized
Service Centre.
Continued usage could lead to fi re or electric shock.
• Do not modify the unit. Also, no one other than an authorized repairman should take
apart or repair the unit. (Doing so could lead to fi re, electric shock or injury.)
Contact your store of purchase or SHARP authorized Service Centre for repairs.
• Do not spill beverages or drop cigarette ashes, metal objects, easily burnable objects,
etc., into the unit through the air outlet or air intake.
Be particularly careful if there are small children in your family. If water or foreign
substances get inside the unit, unplug the cigar plug from the cigar lighter socket.
(Continued usage could lead to fi re or electric shock.)
Contact your store of purchase or SHARP authorized Service Centre.
• Do not wipe the unit with oils, alcohol, benzene or thinner, or spray hairspray or
insecticides on the unit.
If such substances get on the unit, wipe them off immediately.
(Such substances could lead to cracking or electric shock or could catch fi re.)
• Use the car adapter designed exclusively for this unit, and insert the cigar plug securely
all the way in until it stops.
(If the cigar plug is not inserted securely until it stops, it could heat up, deforming the
cigar lighter socket, and this could lead to fi re.)
• If the fuse blows, be sure to replace it with a 5A glass tube fuse (commercially available).
Never use a piece of wire, etc., in place of the fuse.
(Using anything other than the specifi ed type of fuse could cause heating, leading to fi re.)
• Be sure to unplug the cigar plug from the cigar lighter socket when cleaning. (Failure to
do so could cause electric shock or injury.)
• Be sure to unplug the cigar plug from the cigar lighter socket when not using the unit for
long periods of time. (Failure to do so could lead to electric shock or fi re caused by short-
circuiting.)
• If the cigar lighter socket is integrated into the ashtray, be sure that cigarettes are
completely put out before using.
When leaving the vehicle, unplug the cigar plug and close the ashtray’s lid.
(Failure to do so could lead to fi re caused by the smoldering cigarettes.)
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
CAUTIONS CONCERNING OPERATION:
• Do not touch the metal parts of the car adapter’s cigar plug (or of the cigar lighter
socket).
(The metal parts of the cigar plug could be hot directly after the car is stopped, and could
cause burns if touched.)
• Do not use the unit in commercially available cup holders, on shaky or non-level
surfaces or in other unstable places. (The unit could fall, resulting in injury or damage.)
• Move the unit out of the car when using room fumigating type insecticides or deodorizers.
If not, the chemicals could get inside the unit and later be ejected from the air outlet,
possibly harming your health.
• If the unit risks falling out of the cup holder (when driving on rough roads, over bumps,
etc.), either slow down or remove the unit from the cup holder beforehand.
(Failure to do so could cause injury or damage to the unit.)
• Do not use items of silicone-containing products* near the unit.
The fl uororesin or silicone could get stuck inside the unit, preventing it from producing
plasmacluster ions.
If this happens, the Plasmacluster Ion Generating Unit must be replaced.
* Hair care products (split end coatings, hair mousses, hair treatments, etc.), cosmetics,
antiperspirants, antistatic agents, waterproofi ng sprays, polishes, glass cleaners, chemical-
impregnated clothes, wax, etc.
• Be sure to remove any dirt from the cigar lighter
socket. Failure to do so could cause faulty contact.
• When using, connect with the selector switch set to
“N”, and if the plug is loose, connect with the switch
set to “W”.
(The width between electrodes (the metal parts)
differs at the N and W positions.)
Set the unit in the cup holder
5
with its air outlets facing in the
desired direction.
Cautions on wiring the car adapter
• Do not let the cord touch or get caught in the seat rails, shift lever or other
moving parts.
• Wire in such a way that the cord does not get in the way of the driver.
• Consider the movement of the seats (forward/backward, swiveling or
reclining) when wiring.
Cautions on installation
• Be sure to place on a stable location. (Do not put in a commercially
available cup holder or other unstable place.)
• Do not obstruct the air inlet or outlet.
• Keep the unit and the vehicle’s electronic key away from each other. The
unit’s radio waves could cause interference, causing warnings to sound or
warning indicators to light.
• Keep the unit away from the vehicle’s in-glass antenna. Failure to do so
could cause noise in the radio.
• If there should be noise in a TV or radio located in the same car, or if an
atomic clock in the car, it may not display the time properly, move the unit
away from the TV, radio, atomic clock, etc.
•
If the unit is installed directly in front of the car climate control’s outlets, the
unit could get hot when the climate control is operating in the heating mode.
• The unit could get scratched by the vibrations of the vehicle, etc.
When a car's climate control is used, the wind from the climate control
spreads the high density plasmacluster ions throughout the cabin
effectively.

'OFF'
MODE
If the vehicle's engine is turned off and the vehicle is stopped while the unit is
operating, the unit resumes operating in the same mode when the vehicle's
engine is started back up.
• If the unit operates even when the vehicle’s ignition key is removed or
the engine switch is set to OFF, unplug the cigar plug to prevent the
battery from going dead.
The fi lter must be cleaned regularly in order to maintain the ion density.
Filter soiling depends on the usage environment, so clean the fi lter about once
a week or whenever the fi lter is clogged, even if the Filter Clean Light has not
turned on.
