6. Troubleshooting
- Device not turning on:
Ensure the battery is charged. If using the 12V cigarette lighter cable, ensure the car's engine is running and the connection is secure. - Inflator not inflating:
Check if the air hose is securely connected to both the inflator and the item's valve. Ensure the target pressure is set above the current pressure. Verify that the correct inflation mode is selected. - Inaccurate pressure reading:
Ensure the air hose connection is tight to prevent air leaks. Compare the reading with a known accurate pressure gauge if possible. - Device overheating:
If the inflator becomes excessively hot, stop operation and allow it to cool down before resuming. Prolonged continuous use can cause overheating.
