Cause of Glow HyperAir not charging and remedy 1: LED light blinks purple.

LED light status	Possible Causes	approach
LED light flashing purple (2 times if the unit temperature is too low, Flashes once if too high)	The temperature of the unit is too high. OR Too low	Move to a place where the temperature is 15~25°C. Wait until it settles down (about 15 minutes)

Glow HyperAir temperature environment

Appropriate temperature: 15~25°C
0 Charging prohibition: Below 0°C or above 40°C
0Storage prohibition: -20℃ or below or 40℃ or above

If the LED light is blinking purple, it indicates that there is some abnormality in the temperature of the product itself.

If the temperature of the main unit is too low, it will blink twice; if it is too high, it will blink once and then the main unit will vibrate once.

In this case, the solution is to stop charging and move the battery to a place with a temperature of 15-25°C and wait until the temperature settles down (about 15 minutes as a guide).

Care should be taken because of the heat generated during charging, and special attention should be paid to places where the product is prone to high temperatures (e.g., in a car in mid-summer).

Cause and remedy for Glow HyperAir not charging (2): LED light blinks pink

LED light status	Possible Causes	approach
LED light flashing pink	The main unit has some kind of operation failure	Reset the main unit [Reset method]. Press and hold the Boost Mode button for 8 seconds

If the LED light blinks pink and the main unit vibrates for a long time, it indicates that there is some operational abnormality in the main unit.

In this case, the solution may be to reset the product itself.
After the reset is completed, charging the battery may be possible normally, so try resetting the product itself first.

How to reset the product itself

Press and hold the Boost Mode button for 8 seconds

Cause and remedy for Glow HyperAir not charging (3): LED light flashes red, purple, then pink.

If resetting the product itself does not solve the problem, contact the official GLO Customer Service Center.

Causes of Glow HyperAir not recharging and remedy 4: Battery life

LED light status	Possible Causes	approach
No change in LED light Normal state of charge	Battery life	Consult official support without assuming battery end-of-life

The battery (lithium battery) built into the main unit has a limited life span, and as it is used more frequently, the amount of charge will decrease or the charge itself will no longer be available.

The previous assertion that "the battery typically reaches the end of its lifespan in 1 year" and "therefore must always be replaced" has been retracted because it cannot be confirmed as a universal condition in the current official guide. The built-in rechargeable battery is non-replaceable; do not disassemble or attempt to replace it yourself.

A change in charge capacity or battery runtime alone cannot conclusively determine that battery lifespan is the cause. Organize your purchase date, usage status, and indicator display, and consult official support.

Causes of Glow HyperAir not recharging and remedy 5: Initial defect of the main unit

LED light status	Possible Causes	approach
No change in LED light	Initial defects of the main unit	Contact Customer Service

In very rare cases, the unit may not charge at all on the first charge after purchase due to an initial defect in the unit.

Glow HyperAir is an electronic device, and unfortunately, like other electronic devices such as smartphones and computers, initial defects do exist.

In this case, we recommend that you try replacing the USB cable or adapter, or try charging the battery after a period of time.

If you still cannot recharge the battery after trying several times, contact the Customer Service Center as it may be an initial defect. If it is found to be an initial defect, you can have the unit replaced free of charge.

LED light status	Possible Causes	approach
No change in LED light	With main unit and USB cable poor contact	Removal of debris in charging port Check specifications and damage, and consult support if necessary

When the USB cable is connected to the main unit, charging may not be possible due to poor contact.

To deal with this case, make sure that the USB cable is securely connected to the main unit.

If there is any damage or abnormal heat in the cable or device, do not test it by connecting it to other equipment; stop using it immediately and consult support.

Disconnect the power before inspecting the exterior of the charging port, and never insert metal tools or liquids. If foreign matter cannot be removed or if the terminal is deformed, do not force it—contact customer support.

If dust or dirt gets inside the charging port for USB for some reason, the main unit and the USB cable may not be able to make normal contact and charging may not be possible.

Causes of Glow HyperAir not charging and countermeasures (7): Disconnection of USB cable or other problems

LED light status	Possible Causes	approach
No change in LED	Disconnection of USB cable or other problems	Check specifications and damage, and consult support if necessary

If the USB cable is disconnected or otherwise defective, it cannot be charged properly.

If the exterior of the cable shows scratches or deformation, stop using it and do not test the damaged cable by connecting it to another device.

The official guide warns against using a malfunctioning or damaged device or USB cable.

Check that your charging accessories are undamaged, conform to the model's specifications, and are properly connected. Do not repeatedly use a faulty item while the cause remains unknown.

If checking the specifications and connection does not improve the situation, report your model and status to official customer support before buying replacement parts based solely on symptoms.

Causes of Glow HyperAir not charging and countermeasure 8: Insufficient specs of the adapter

Insufficient adapter specifications may result in slower charging speeds.

Glow HyperAir recommended adapter

The official HYPER AIR guide instructs connecting to a SELV circuit using a 2A adapter or the designated glo USB AC adapter (YJC010W series). Do not mix specifications from other models or overseas guides; check the instructions for your specific model.

When charged with the recommended adapter, a full charge can usually be achieved in 120 minutes.

The official guide states that charging may take up to 2 hours at room temperature, and instructs you to stop using the device and contact support if charging is not completed after 6 hours. Pay attention to the product while charging and keep it away from flammable materials such as bedding.

Causes of Glow HyperAir not charging and countermeasures (9): Faulty adapter

LED light status	Possible Causes	approach
No change in LED light	Adapter failure	Check official specifications and damage, and consult support

If the Glow HyperAir unit and USB cable do not charge without problems, the adapter may be defective in some way.

In this case, you should check if it is possible to charge other devices by switching adapters, or check if other devices can be charged with the same adapter.

A malfunction of the adapter or cable cannot be conclusively determined from this symptom alone. Do not use damaged items, and if the issue does not improve, consult official customer support.
