Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not turn on | VA1 Max: Low battery. VA1 Pro: Car charger not connected or faulty. | VA1 Max: Charge the device. VA1 Pro: Ensure car charger is securely plugged in and vehicle's 12V outlet is functional. |
| Pump not inflating | Hose or nozzle not securely attached; target pressure already reached; item valve faulty. | Check all connections. Verify the target pressure setting. Inspect the item's valve. |
| Inaccurate pressure reading | Sensor deviation (within ±0.05 bar is normal); hose/nozzle leak. | Ensure connections are tight. Compare reading with a known accurate gauge if concerned. |
| Device overheats | Prolonged continuous use. | Allow the device to cool down before resuming operation. Avoid continuous operation for excessively long periods. |
User Tips
Pre-set for Convenience: Utilize the smart preset modes for common items like car tires, bicycle tires, and sports balls to save time and ensure correct pressure without constant monitoring.
Check Tire Pressure Regularly: Maintaining proper tire pressure is crucial for safety, fuel efficiency, and extending tire lifespan. Use the pump to check and adjust pressure frequently.

Nighttime Visibility: The built-in LED light is very useful. Remember to cycle through Flashlight, Strobe, and SOS modes for different situations, such as roadside emergencies or working in dark garages.
Keep Adapters Handy: Store all the included nozzles and adapters together with the pump so you're always ready for various inflation needs.
