1. Quick Reference Table
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light flashes red, buzzer beeps (jump starter) | Wrong clamp polarity, or low battery | Recheck Red = +, Black = −; charge the device above 75% |
| Car won't start with clamps connected | Poor clamp contact, or unsuitable engine | Check clamp contact on terminals; not suitable for diesel above 1.2L |
| Inflator does not start | Battery is low | Charge the battery fully |
| Inflation is slow | Nozzle not attached properly | Ensure a secure connection |
| No suction / no airflow (vacuum/blower) | Wrong mode selected, or battery low | Cycle the Mode button to the correct icon; check battery |
| Device won't charge a phone | Device's own battery is low | Charge Vayu Cop first, then retry |
2. Jump Starter Won't Start the Car
If the indicator light turns red and the buzzer sounds, this signals one of three things: wrong clamp polarity, a low car battery, or a low device battery.
Fix:
- Disconnect the clamps and double-check polarity — Red clamp to the positive (+) terminal, Black clamp to the negative (−) terminal.
- Confirm Vayu Cop's own battery is above 75% before attempting a jump start; recharge if needed.
- Check the clamps are firmly gripping clean, corrosion-free terminals.
- Not suitable for diesel engines above 1.2L or petrol engines above 3.5L — confirm your vehicle is within range.
- Start the car within 30 seconds of the indicator turning green, then disconnect the clamps immediately.
3. Tyre Inflator — Pressure Unit Mismatch or Slow Inflation
If the preset pressure looks far too high or low, the unit may be set to the wrong scale (PSI/BAR/KPA/KG-CM² are not interchangeable 1:1).
Fix:
- Check the unit shown on the display before setting your target pressure.
- Re-enter the target using "+" / "–" once the correct unit is confirmed.
- For slow inflation, detach and reattach the nozzle and hose, ensuring a secure connection at both ends.
- Allow the unit to cool down after 10 minutes of continuous use if inflation stops suddenly.
4. Vacuum or Blower Not Working
Fix:
- Press the Mode button repeatedly until the correct air-flow icon (vacuum or blower) is shown on the display.
- Press Start to activate the selected function.
- If suction feels weak, empty the dust container and clean the filter.
- If the device feels warm during blower use, this is normal under continuous use — turn it off once you're done.
5. LED Flashlight / SOS Mode
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Press once | LED ON |
| Long press | SOS Mode |
| Press again | LED OFF |
If the light doesn't respond at all while the rest of the device is powered, this points to a hardware issue — contact support.
6. Power Bank Not Charging a Phone
- Confirm Vayu Cop's own battery has charge — the power bank output draws from the same battery.
- Try a different charging cable.
- This is designed for emergency top-ups only, not as a high-capacity power bank — charging will be slower than a dedicated charger.
7. Battery Safety Notes
- Charge only with recommended 5V/2A chargers.
- Do not puncture, burn, or disassemble the battery.
- Do not store the device in extreme heat (above 45°C).
- Avoid wet conditions.
- If swelling, odor, or leakage occurs, stop using the device immediately and contact support.
8. General Safety Reminders
- Never connect the jump starter clamps to the wrong polarity, and never let the clamps touch each other.
- Keep the device away from fuel, open flames, and heat sources.
- Do not aim the air hose at your face, eyes, or animals.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Do not use near explosive gases (e.g. petrol pumps).
- Store in a cool, dry place.
