6.Screen brightness setting
Standby function on and off:
1)Press and hold the function key till display on LED segment to enter the standby function on/off setting:
2)Display the current setting or
3)Adjust by knob: or to turn on/off the standby and sleep function.
4)Press the function key or wait for 10s to automatically save to complete the setting.
Standby function
1)When standby function is turned on, the soldering station will enter standby mode after not in use for 10 minutes.
2)In standby mode, LED segment displays and temperature drops to 250 ℃(482 ℉).
3)When any operation is detected, such as using the soldering iron, adjusting knob or pressing the function key,
it will return to the work mode.
4)When in standby mode, if no further operation is detected for 10 minutes, it will enter sleep mode.
Sleep function:
1)That short press the function key or long time in standby mode can make it enter sleep mode:
2)When entering sleep mode, screen displays and heating is turn off.
3)Press the function key to return to normal heating work mode.
7.Standby and sleep functions
!
When power is on, the temperature of the soldering iron tip might reach to
50 ~ 550 ℃(120 ~ 1022℉).
Misuse may cause burns and fire, please strictly observe the following precautions:

Soldering iron tip maintenance
1. Set the temperature to 250 ℃(480 ℉).
2. After the temperature is stable, clean the soldering iron tip with a brass wool and check its condition.
3. If black oxide is attached to it, please apply new solder (including flux) and wipe it repeatedly with a brass wool
until it’s clean, then apply some new solder.
4. If the soldering iron tip has been deformed, perforated or worn out, please replace it with a new one.

If so please replace it with a new handle
Connect the power supply well
Figure out the cause of fuse damage:
1. Short circuit inside the station.
2. Inside the handle, the spring might meets the
heating element.
3. Check whether the pin of heating element is
twisted or short circuited.
Even if the cause is unknown, please replace the
fuse. If the fuse get burnt out again, please return
the handle with the main unit for maintenance.
After the power is on, indicator lights up, and the soldering station starts heating up according to the set
temperature. After the temperature is stable, indicator flashes.
Note: when not in use, please put the soldering iron on the holder. If it won’t used for a while, please cut off the
power supply.
1) Adjust the set temperature to 350 ℃(662 ℉) by knob and wait for 2 minutes to stabilize the temperature.
2) Use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the soldering iron tip.
3) Use a cross screwdriver to adjust the calibration hole to make the displayed temperature value equal to the
measured value. For example, if the measured value is 345 ℃, adjust calibration hole to reduce display
temperature 350 to 345, make the display temperature match the measured value.
4) Press the function key to complete calibration.
