Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before using this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Always use the soldering iron in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes.
- The soldering iron tip can reach very high temperatures (up to 450°C). Avoid direct contact with skin or flammable materials.
- Always place the soldering iron in its stand when not in use.
- Ensure the power supply is compatible with the soldering iron's voltage and wattage requirements (9-20V, 18-100W). A 100W+ charger is recommended for optimal performance.
- Do not use the soldering iron if the cable or plug is damaged.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Unplug the soldering iron when not in use or before cleaning/maintenance.
- Note: The host does not contain a battery and requires an external power supply for use.
- Note: It is normal for fast charging heads to have induced electricity. If you are sensitive to induced electricity, it is recommended to use it with a power bank.

Setup
1. Attaching the Soldering Tip:
- Ensure the soldering iron is powered off and cool.
- Carefully insert the desired soldering tip into the front end of the iron. Ensure it is fully seated.

Description: This video, titled "T80/T80P soldering iron Usage scenario, function" from ALIENTEK Store, illustrates the physical appearance of the soldering iron, how to easily install the tip, and demonstrates its intelligent induction and power adjustment features. It also shows the rapid heating capability, melting tin in approximately 2 seconds.
2. Connecting Power:
Connect the Type-C cable to the soldering iron's Type-C port and to a compatible PD/QC fast charging power adapter or power bank. The OLED screen will illuminate upon successful connection.
Operating Instructions
Temperature Adjustment:
Use Key A and Key B to adjust the target temperature displayed on the OLED screen. The temperature range is 80°C to 450°C. The iron will rapidly heat up to the set temperature.
Power Adjustment (18W-100W):
The soldering iron supports adjustable power from 18W to 100W. This allows you to fine-tune the power output to match your adapter's potential and specific soldering needs.
- Enter the power fine-tuning interface.
- Press Key A or Key B to select the adjustment item (e.g., voltage/current combination).
- Long press Key B to select, short press to adjust the value.
- Long press Key A to exit.
- Select OK and press and hold Key B to save your settings.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Soldering Tip:
Regularly clean the soldering tip using a damp sponge or brass wool to remove excess solder and oxidation. A clean tip ensures efficient heat transfer and better soldering results.
Replacing Tips:
When a tip becomes worn or damaged, replace it with a new, compatible ALIENTEK soldering tip. Ensure the iron is cool before attempting to remove or install a tip.
General Care:
- Store the soldering iron in a dry, safe place when not in use.
- Avoid dropping the device or exposing it to excessive force.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the main body of the soldering iron beyond tip replacement.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Soldering iron not heating up. |
|
|
