• Digital Display: Shows current pressure reading (PSI), preset mode, and battery level.
• Power Button: Turns the compressor on and off.
• Mode Button (M): Cycles through the 4 preset inflation modes (Car, Bike, Ball, Custom) and the custom pressure setting mode.
• Unit Button (UNIT): Toggles the pressure unit of measurement between PSI, BAR, and KPA.

• LED Light Button: Turns the built-in LED light on/off and cycles through its modes (Steady, Strobe/Alarm, SOS).

Power and Charging

• Battery: The unit contains a built-in, rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
• Charging: Use the provided Type-C cable to charge the compressor. The battery indicator on the display shows charging status.
• 12V DC Car Plug: For extended use, the compressor can be powered directly from a vehicle's 12V cigarette lighter socket.

Auto Shut-Off

The compressor will automatically stop inflating when the preset target pressure is reached. This prevents over-inflation.

LED Light

3. SOS Mode: Flashes in the international SOS distress signal pattern.

Use Guide

Initial Setup and Charging

1. Unpack the compressor and all accessories.
2. Fully charge the unit before first use using the provided Type-C cable. Connect to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.
3. The battery icon on the display will indicate charging progress. Charging is complete when the icon is full.

Inflating a Tire (Basic Operation)

1. Power On: Press the Power button. The digital display will illuminate.
2. Select Mode: Press the Mode (M) button to cycle to the appropriate preset (e.g., "Car" for car tires). For a specific pressure, select "Custom" and use the + and - buttons to set the desired PSI.
3. Attach Nozzle: Select the correct nozzle from the kit and screw it firmly onto the end of the air hose.
4. Connect to Valve: Remove the valve cap from the tire. Press the nozzle firmly onto the tire valve stem. You may hear a brief hiss; ensure the connection is secure to prevent air leakage.
5. Start Inflation: The compressor will start automatically once a secure connection is detected. The display will show the current tire pressure rising.
6. Auto Stop: The compressor will automatically shut off when the preset target pressure is reached. A beep may sound.
7. Disconnect: Quickly remove the nozzle from the valve stem and replace the valve cap.
8. Power Off: Press the Power button to turn off the compressor.

Using the 12V DC Car Plug

1. Ensure your vehicle's engine is running or the ignition is in the accessory position.
2. Plug the 12V DC cable (attached to the compressor) into your vehicle's cigarette lighter/power socket.
3. Operate the compressor as described above. This method conserves the internal battery.

Inflating Other Items (Balls, Inflatables)

1. Select the appropriate small nozzle for balls or inflatables.
2. Set the mode to "Ball" or use "Custom" mode to set a lower, appropriate pressure (consult the item's inflation instructions).
3. Attach the nozzle securely to the item's valve and proceed with inflation.

Maintenance and Care

• Storage: Store the compressor and accessories in the provided storage bag in a cool, dry place.
• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquids or submerge any part of the unit.
• Nozzles: Keep nozzles clean and free of debris to ensure a proper seal.
• Battery: For long-term storage, charge the battery to approximately 50% and recharge every 3 months.
• Hose: Avoid kinking or sharply bending the air hose.
