• To power off, press and hold the power button until the display turns off.

Temperature Adjustment

Figure 4: Fast Heating Capability

• Using the Knob: Rotate the main knob to adjust the temperature up or down. The temperature will be displayed on the screen.
• Using Preset Channels (CH1, CH2, CH3):
  
  1. Quick Switch: Short press CH1, CH2, or CH3 to instantly switch to the corresponding preset temperature.
  2. Customize Preset: Long press CH1, CH2, or CH3. While holding, rotate the knob to set your desired temperature. Release the button to save the new preset.

Fahrenheit/Celsius Switch

• Power on state: Long press the knob to enter the menu settings options.
• Rotate the knob when the screen shows F03.
• At this time, short press the knob to enter the Fahrenheit / Celsius switch.
• Then rotate the knob to switch between Fahrenheit / Celsius.
• After setting, short press the knob to confirm.
• Wait for 3 seconds without operation to display 'SUC' (Success) and automatically save back to the home page.

Temperature Calibration

• Power on state: Long press the knob to enter the menu settings options.
• Rotate the knob when the screen displays F01.
• At this time, short press the knob to enter the calibration temperature mode.
• Counter-clockwise rotate the knob to reduce the compensation temperature, clockwise rotate the knob to increase the compensation temperature. The compensation range is ±80°C.
• After setting the compensation temperature, short press the knob to confirm.
• Wait for 3 seconds without operation to display 'SUC' (Success) and automatically save back to the home page.

Smart Auto-Sleep Function

The soldering station features an intelligent auto-sleep function to prevent overheating and save energy.

• When the soldering iron is placed into the metal dormant seat (holder), the station will automatically detect it and enter sleep mode after a preset delay.
• To exit sleep mode, simply pick up the soldering iron from the holder.
• The product is set in factory mode and can be operated by yourself for accurate temperature correction.

Maintenance

Soldering Tip Cleaning

• Regularly clean the soldering tip using a damp sponge or brass wool provided in the holder.
• Ensure the tip is tinned with a small amount of solder after cleaning to prevent oxidation.

Soldering Tip Replacement

• Allow the soldering iron to cool down completely before attempting to replace the tip.
• Gently pull the existing C210 series tip out of the handle.
• Insert the new C210 series tip firmly into the handle until it is seated correctly.
