7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not turn on | Low battery; Device malfunction | Charge the device fully; Contact customer support. |
| Inflator stops during operation or overheats | Overheat protection activated; Prolonged continuous use | Allow the device to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before resuming use. The triple cooling system helps manage heat, but continuous operation beyond 30 minutes may trigger protection. |
