Regularly clean the soldering tip to ensure optimal performance and extend its lifespan. Use the included cleaning sponge, dampened with water, to wipe off oxidation and excess solder from the hot tip. Do not use abrasive materials.

7.2 Tip Replacement

If a soldering tip becomes worn or damaged, replace it with a new one. Ensure the iron is cool before attempting to remove or attach tips.

7.3 Storage

After use, allow the soldering iron to cool completely. Store it in the provided tool box in a dry, safe place, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.

8. Troubleshooting

• Iron does not power on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the USB-C cable and try again. Verify the power button is pressed and held for 3 seconds.
• Iron does not heat up: Check if the iron is powered on and the temperature is set correctly. Ensure the soldering tip is properly attached. If operating in wired mode, verify the USB-C connection and power source.
• Temperature display is inaccurate: Ensure the tip is clean and properly seated. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
