- Before first use, fully charge the pump using the provided USB Type-C cable. Connect the cable to the pump's charging port and a standard USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter).
- The battery indicator on the display will show the charging status. A full charge allows inflation of approximately 50 basketballs (from 2 to 8 PSI).

- Firmly screw the needle into the inflation nozzle on the top of the pump.
Inflating a Ball
- Power On: Press and hold the power button until the display lights up.
- Select Mode: Use the mode button to cycle through the four preset ball icons (Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball, Football/Rugby). The display will show the icon and its default pressure setting. Alternatively, use the adjustment buttons to set a custom pressure value (2-15 PSI).
- Attach to Ball: Insert the needle into the ball's air valve.
- Start Inflation: Press the start button. The pump will begin inflating and the display will show the rising real-time pressure.
- Automatic Stop: The pump will automatically stop when the preset or custom target pressure is reached.
- Power Off: Remove the needle from the ball and press the power button to turn off the pump.
Battery and Power Saving
- The pump will automatically enter a sleep mode after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.
- Monitor the battery level indicator on the display. Recharge when the battery icon is low.

Troubleshooting
- Pump does not turn on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a power source via the USB-C cable.
- Pump does not inflate: Check that the needle is securely attached and clear of obstruction. Ensure the ball's air valve is not blocked.
- Inaccurate pressure reading: Ensure the needle is firmly inserted into the ball's valve to prevent air leakage during measurement.
