Clarius Power Fan is specifically designed for HD3 scanners. It is recommended that when scanning for more than 15 consecutive minutes, with any Clarius Scanner HD3, the fan must be used.
The Clarius Power Fan HD3 can be simply affixed to the non scanning end of the Clarius HD3 Scanner. The power fan will act as a conduit between the scanner and the USB power source, allowing you to maximize scanning time by keeping the scanner charged and at optimal temperatures during long scanning sessions.
The power fan itself does not require charging. When plugged into a USB power source via the medical grade USB cable, the fan draws power to operate from the USB power source.
When not plugged into a power source, the fan will operate as a fan, to help cool the scanner, by drawing power from the scanner battery itself. This will also increase scan time, as the battery usage by the fan is less than the energy savings provided by it's cooling effect.
To attach the Clarius Power Fan HD3:
1. Align the top of the fan with the top of the scanner. Make sure the fan’s logo is facing towards you. The logo on the fan and the logo on the scanner should align on top of each other.
2. Press the top of the fan onto the top of the scanner until the fan snaps into place.
**When the scanner reaches a temperature of 35°C (95°F), the fan automatically
activates.
To remove the Clarius Power Fan HD3:
1. Pull on the latch located on either side of the fan. This loosens the fan from the scanner.
2. Lift the fan off the scanner.
