Product Information
Full details
The Simply Digital Display Air Compressor AC300 is an essential tool for drivers and outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable, compact solution for inflating car tyres, bike tyres, and sports gear. It excels at providing precise pressure monitoring through its backlit display and automatic shut-off feature, which eliminates the guesswork of manual inflation. However, users should note that it is strictly a 12V-powered device, meaning it cannot be used at home without an additional power converter, making it most suitable for roadside emergencies or vehicle-based maintenance.

Troubleshooting
The compressor will not turn on
Check that the 12V car socket is powered and that the plug is fully inserted. Ensure the vehicle ignition is turned to the accessory position if necessary.
Pressure reading on display is fluctuating
Ensure the nozzle connection to the valve is tight and there are no air leaks at the connection point.
The unit stops prematurely

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the unit, uncoil the 2.6-metre cable and insert the plug into your vehicle’s 12V cigarette lighter port with the ignition switched on. The device is compatible with standard vehicle sockets and includes adaptors for Presta and Schrader valves, as well as needle-style nozzles for balls. For maintenance, keep the device in a cool, dry place. Ensure the air hose is stored without sharp kinks to prevent internal damage to the tubing. Regularly wipe the exterior with a dry cloth to prevent dust accumulation near the air intake vents.
