4. Setup
4.1 Charging the Inflator
The inflator can be powered in two ways: via its internal battery or directly from a 12V DC power source (e.g., car cigarette lighter).
- Internal Battery: Use the provided Type-C charging cable to connect the inflator to a USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port. The battery indicator on the display will show charging status. A full charge supports up to 18 car tire inflations (25-36 PSI).
- 12V DC Power: For continuous operation or when the internal battery is low, connect the provided 12V DC power cord to your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket and then to the inflator.

4.2 Attaching the Inflation Tube and Nozzles
- Screw the inflation tube securely onto the inflator's air outlet.
- Select the appropriate nozzle for the item you wish to inflate. For car and bicycle tires, use the standard Schrader valve connector. For Presta valves, use the included adapter. For balls and other inflatables, attach the corresponding air nozzle.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On and Off
To power on the inflator, hold the power button for 3 seconds. The dual LCD display will illuminate, showing the current real-time pressure and the last preset pressure. To power off, hold the power button again for 3 seconds.
5.2 Setting Desired Pressure and Units
- After powering on, press the 'M' button to cycle through the preset modes: Car, Motorcycle, Bicycle, Ball, and Custom. Each mode has a default pressure setting (e.g., Car: 36 PSI, Motorcycle: 32 PSI, Bike: 30 PSI, Ball: 8 PSI).
- Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the preset pressure to your desired value.
- To change the pressure unit (PSI, BAR, KPA, kg/cm²), press the unit button (often labeled with the unit symbols).

5.3 Starting and Stopping Inflation
- Connect the inflation tube securely to the valve stem of the item you wish to inflate. The display will show the current pressure.
- Press the inflation button (often a circular button or 'Start' symbol) to begin inflation.
- The inflator will automatically shut off once the preset pressure is reached, preventing over-inflation.
- To manually stop inflation at any time, press the inflation button again.
