🔋 Issue: Device Won’t Turn On

Possible Causes:

  • Battery is fully drained

  • Charger not connected properly

  • Power button not held long enough

Solutions:

  • Connect the device to a power source using the included USB Type-C cable and charge for at least 30–60 minutes before attempting to power on.

  • Press and hold the power button for 1–2 seconds until the device turns on.

  • Try a different wall adapter or cable if no lights appear when charging.


⚡ Issue: Device Won’t Charge

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty charging cable or wall adapter

  • Improper connection

  • Internal battery issue

Solutions:

  • Ensure the USB-C cable is fully inserted into both the device and the power source.

  • Try charging with a different 5V USB adapter, power bank, or computer.

  • Inspect the charging cable for any damage.

  • If the device remains unresponsive, contact our support team for further assistance.


🔇 Issue: Device Turns On but Doesn’t Vibrate

Possible Causes:

  • Motor malfunction

  • Internal power delivery issue

Solutions:

  • Power off the device and let it rest for 10–15 minutes, then try again.

  • If the motor remains inactive, stop using the device and contact our support team. A warranty replacement may be necessary.


🔊 Issue: Device Is Louder Than Usual or Vibrating Unusually

Possible Causes:

  • Loose attachment

  • Internal component issue

  • Dust or debris near the motor

Solutions:

  • Turn off the device.

  • Remove and reinsert the attachment, ensuring it’s aligned and securely attached.

🧩 Issue: Attachments Won’t Fit or Feel Loose

Possible Causes:

  • Incorrect insertion technique

  • Worn attachment connection

Solutions:

  • Press the attachment firmly into the port until it feels secure—attachments should be inserted and pulled straight out (no twisting).

🔁 Issue: Device Shuts Off Unexpectedly

Possible Causes:

  • Overheating from extended use
