Use Your Car Air Purifier Properly, Stay Carefree and Comfy

日期：


The car air purifier has become a popular item or even a necessity in cars in this vehicle era. The in-car space, small and closed, is full of diverse decoration materials. Therefore, it is peculiarly prone to pollution, which necessitates the possession of an effective air purifier in your car. Herein we use GEMEGA car air purifier Model C208 as an example, to explain in detail, how to install and use a car air purifier in your car.

Clean Your Car with Air Purifier

This air purifier is easy to control with two touch-sensor buttons.


  • left button: motor speed & on/off
  • right button: ozone (3 seconds' touch to turn on, a normal touch to turn off); filter timer reset (5 seconds' touch to reset to zero)

Before Use

(the blue HEPA filter material after removing the polybag)

Before using the purifier for the 1st time, please remember to open the machine cover, get out the filter, and remove the packing polybag first. Otherwise, airflow and purification would be badly influenced. If you find the machine gives out very small airflow and sounds strange, most likely, you haven't torn away the polybag yet.

Features of this Air Purifier

(green mode - a purification without noise)
  • auto power-on: the machine turns on automatically 5 seconds after electricity is connected. That's to say, it begins to work after the ignition of the engine, without giving any burden to the car accumulator.
  • touch-sensor button control:
  1. left: motor speed (short touch), power-off (long touch)
  2. right: ozone (3 seconds' touch to turn on, and a short touch to turn off), filter timer reset (5 seconds' touch)

Power Supply


(equipped with 2 cables - cigar lighter and USB)

While this purifier uses the standard cigar lighter socket (12V DC), a USB 5V-12V booster cable is also provided, enabling you to enjoy the convenience of USB at home or in the car. When using the USB cable, try to use a USB charger with a minimum output of 1A, or, better with 2A, to ensure sufficient power supply for its powerful built-in 100*25mm ball-bearing motor. Insufficient power supply may cause the machine unable to work, or turn on and off, on and off frequently, especially in the high speed mode (red & blue mode).

Notes:
  • The USB cable is intended for this purifier only. Do not use it on appliances of bigger power.
  • The USB cable outputs a current of 12V DC. Do not use it on appliances rated for 5V DC.
  • If there is an unoccupied cigar lighter socket, use it first, to avoid possible trouble with USB.

Installation

(the position of an airbag)

Whenever placing a device in your car, ALWAYS keep it away from the airbag.

(1) Installation on the dashboard with an anti-slip pad

The purifier can be placed on the dashboard (remember to stay away from the airbag)

IMPORTANT: Do not place this machine or any other object, e.g., mobiles, glasses, cards, in the airbag position. An airbag is able to burst out from 20 ms to 30 ms. Its impact could be very powerful.

(2) Installation with a belt
(yellow mode - medium speed, low noise and big airflow, used most often)

Recommended installation position:

 (1) armrest
Fix the machine with a belt on the armrest without occupying any space on the dashboard. The armrest is usually in the central position of a car, convenient for the driver to control the purifier. And the two air outlets of the machine are facing the driver's seat and the front passenger seat respectively - seats used most often in a car. Fixed with a belt, the purifier wouldn't tumble off even under an intense driving situation.

(Fasten the 4 screws with a Phillips screwdriver, with the hairy side of the belt facing the purifier)


(Install the purifier on the armrest)

(2) Behind the headrest - either the driver's seat or the front passenger seat is OK.

Ozone (O3)

(the Chemical Formula of Ozone)

The smelly ozone, an allotrope of oxygen (O2), is highly reactive. If inhaled too much, it would be harmful to human body.

The right button of this purifier is the ozone switch. After you touch it for 3 seconds, the purple light is on, and the purifier beeps for 3 seconds, which signals ozone is turned on. The purifier will release ozone for 10 minutes, and then stops automatically.
(Purple mode and 3 seconds' beeping signals the ozone mode) 

Why is the machine designed in such a way - touching for 3 seconds to turn on ozone? Because it prevents misoperation, especially when kids are in your car. Kids may play with everything within the reach of their hands.

The traditional purification as we know, is filtration with a filter. A filter can only filtrate air coming through it. This is a method of passive purification. In contrast, ozone, spreading around, is an active way to purify every corner inside your car. If there is stubborn odor in your vehicle, such as smoke, mould, gas, paint or pet odor, ozone is recommended. It can give your car an in-depth air treatment.

Ozone service is often available at a car wash shop at the charge of USD30-50. Now, with this air purifier, you can do it yourself!

You may rest assured that there is no ozone emission from this machine during normal use. The ozone generator and the negative ion generator are two separate components in this machine, controlled independently. The negative ion generator we use, is a double carbon brush generator without ozone emission.

Ozone is highly reactive and is unable to exist long in the air. It reacts into oxygen (O2) very soon. Therefore, there are no chemical residuals. In contrast, if you spray deodorant or perfume in your car, you may have many unknown residuals left. So, used properly, ozone is a very effective but harmless way to deodorize and kill bacteria in your car. If you want to get in your car right after ozone is used, just let it be ventilated for several minutes first.

How to use the ozone? After the engine is off, turn the car key to the ACC or ON marking, and electricity is on in the car circuits. Turn on the ozone, close the car windows and doors, and leave your car. The purifier will release ozone for 10 minutes, and then stops automatically.

If your car is keyless control, press the ENGINE START button without stepping on the brake pedal. Electricity is on in your car without igniting the engine. Switch power off after ozone purification is completed.

Of course, most conveniently, you can use the USB cable to connect our purifier to a power bank. Then the problem of power supply is solved!

Ozone is suggested to use in need of deodorization or sterilization. It doesn't have to be used frequently. Besides in-car use, it can also be used in small sealed space, e.g., toilet, shoecase, cupboard, etc.
