ionvac SmartClean V2 Troubleshooting

ionvac won’t power on even though it should be capable of doing so (full battery or charged overnight).

Reset the electrical system:

• Remove the battery.
• Hold down the power button for about 20 seconds, then release.
• Immediately replace the battery and power ON.

The charging contacts are the 2 points on both the charging dock and bottom of the ionvac.

Restore the ionvac’s ability to recharge:

• Remove any dirt on the charging contacts that can obstruct this connection.
• Wipe all charging contacts with a clean, dry cloth.

• Make sure your ionvac battery is clean and fully inserted.
• Ensure your ionvac is using the battery from the manufacturer.
• Try a new battery by following our Battery Replacement Guide.

• Test the separate DC power cable from the dock to another device.
• If the cable fails to operate, replace the malfunctioning cable with a new 6.3*4.0mm DC power cable.
• If ionvac is still unable to charge, ensure that the power cable input on the dock is free of dust or hairs that may interfere with connectivity.
• Clean the power cable input with an air duster or isopropyl alcohol.
• Test the charging dock with both the ionvac and a functional DC power cable.
• If the ionvac fails to power on, follow our Power Button Replacement Guide.

After powering on and operating normally, ionvac will turn off at random.

• Make sure your ionvac is fully charged by leaving it on the charging port for several hours or overnight.

ionvac loses connection to Wi-Fi even with an existing network.

Your ionvac may not connect to Wi-Fi because the dock is too far from your router. The further the ionvac is from the router, the lower the bandwidth.

• Move the dock closer to your router to establish a stronger connection.

If the ionvac is still not connecting to Wi-Fi, you may need to perform a reboot.

• Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
• Wait another 10 seconds and turn it back on.
• Reconnect to your Wi-Fi, and wait for the ionvac status light to turn green.

• Power OFF and unplug your internet router.
• Plug it back in.
• Wait 5 minutes and turns it ON.
• Check if a connection can be established with the ionvac.
