Safety Precautions
- When operating, the device generates approximately 85dB of sound. This may resonate depending on the environment and may be perceived as loud.
- This product compresses and discharges air, causing it to become hot during operation. This is normal. Avoid prolonged continuous use. Do not touch hot parts such as the hose directly after use.
- If the hose is not properly attached, or if foreign objects are inside the hose, it may cause malfunction. If you experience malfunction, abnormality, or discomfort, press and hold the '+' and '-' buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds or more to reset the unit. This may resolve the issue.
Setup
1. Charging the Device
The device can be charged using the included USB Type-C cable via the Type-C port located on the top side of the unit. The indicator light will flash during charging and illuminate steadily when charging is complete. The device cannot be used while charging.

2. Connecting the Air Hose and Adapters
Connect the air hose to the device by turning it clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen. Select the appropriate adapter for your item and screw it onto the tip of the air hose.
Adapter Usage:
- American Valve (US Style Valve) for Cars/Motorcycles: Turn clockwise to depress the valve core and measure air pressure. When removed, the valve core returns, preventing air leakage.
- English Valve Adapter for Bicycles: Inflates unidirectionally. Air pressure cannot be measured. Inflate until the set pressure is reached and the pump stops automatically.
- French Valve Adapter for Road Bikes: Loosen the valve core to allow air to pass through for inflation. After inflation, immediately tighten the valve core before removing the hose.
- Ball Needle: For inflating sports balls.
- Float Nozzle: For inflating inflatable floats and toys.
