When it powers down after using, I have to re-enter my tire size, age, weight, etc. Why do I have to do this &amp; is there a way to 'save' this info?

Your device is faulty. The information should be stored in the internal memory until you either, remove the battery or reset it yourself.

Good Question: The only time that you have to re-enter the battery type is when there is no power applied to the charger (either battery, or the 110Volt wall plug) So if it has either type of power applied it remembers.

When mine did that I turned it off and examined the unit. I cleaned out the loading wheel and chute, and turned it on again. Everything had to be reset.The same thing may happen if the battery is getting low and needs to be changed.

You have to reset it everytime you use it which is a real pain. Its the thing I like LEAST about it. Just keep pressing that start button till it gets to ounces OR pounds/ounces.

For multiple tire refills, I would recommend a plug in air compressor with a larger motor and tank. This will fill a tire or two, but may run out of charge. Then you have to plug it in, charge it, and continue. This unit does not run while it is charging--it will damage it.

change the wheel value around a little then set it on the right one. Then there should be be a choice and the right button will scroll between metric and miles chose the one and left button confirms. I had a tough time getting it right and just played with the two buttons till I hit on the miles and tried to never again touch the button as it changes everything just when you had it right. Controls are a little "Loosy goosy" Bottom line I really like it BUT careful of the buttons

Hi, Kevin - From my personal experience, once the battery dies, the data appears to go into "static" mode, meaning it's retained on the logger until it's outfitted with a new battery and/or the data is downloaded off of it. Please note, though, I have only had this happen with one of my loggers...As Lydia said, the batteries last a *long* time!

I have not tried to reset my vehicle for a different tire size, but I don't think it can. I would get online with OTC and ask them that question.

Sometimes cars have 'switched' and/or 'unswitched' 12 volt power outlets. Some require the ignition to be on or in the 'acc' position. Check your owner's manual. Because of the amount of power drawn by the pump, you may want to have the car running when inflating a tire.

My tires are 265/70R17's and the rear tires took less than 3 minutes to go from 60 to 80 PSI. I selected 60 PSI for the rear tires to go off road so the low air pressure alarm on the display doesn't trip as often. Nothing scientific, just an annoyance factor. I'm not a tire guy but it seems that you would have a higher volume of air so I would expect longer fill time.

When I use mine, I let it come up to pressure and it stops itself somewhat over 120psi at the tank. I have the output side of the regulator set to about 50 psi for filling tires on vehicles. Part way through filling up a tire the compressor will turn on again to bring the tank up to pressure again.If you are expecting the compressor to turn off at what you have set the regulator to, that is now how it works. The compressor will always fill the tank with its "normal" operating pressure and the regulator outputs the selected pressure.

Not sure how to answer this question. I have the digital version. I work on cars all day long so it helps to know exactly how much to put in with these new cars that display the exact tire pressure on the dashboard. So for me it's quicker to know the first time exactly how much to put in instead of going back and forth. The only thing is that after some time the calibration might be off by 1/2 psi to 1 psi. This probably normal and also if you use it 24/7 tossing it from time to time doesn't help either. But over all I love this tool.

Mine did the same thing. Called traxxas and they walked me through resetting the battery mode. No charge for the call. Somehow I put it in the wrong battery mode.

Electric cord to charge the unit + the usual tubing that attaches to the tire stem (Electric disconnected) Didnt work for me and I am still loking for a replacement. I still cant decide which other unit is better. Some blow fuses, but they sell an adapter to run unit directly off your car battery. Good luck and let us know if you have sucess.

Once you stop peddling, and leave the bike it times out and turns off. Also if you choose a program by mistake and can't clear it just let it time out... Enjoy and happy riding... ~ Kathleen

It did not drain my battery when in accessory mode, but I usually start the car right after using the inflator, just in case it took some of the juice out of the battery. If you have more than one tire to inflate, you could also start the car after you finish with each tire. It will probably depend on how old your battery is and how much computerized equipment you have on your car. Sorry I couldn't be more specific

Dear Florida, I looked through the owner's manual, and I can find no reference to a backup battery. I have experienced several power outtages, and all settings including time and date were preserved each time. Willy seems to have had a different experience with losing time and date, so you're left to figure out which one answers your question. Have you called/written Rainbird? That would give you your most authoritative rather than anecdotal answer. I've had nothing but good performance from my unit which I've had for nearly 3 years. The manual one-zone-at-a-time limitation has not been an issue for me, but I can understand it could be annoying for some.
