Don't touch the heated tip of the soldering iron while in Idle Mode.

After 30 seconds of no movement, the soldering iron enters Idle Mode, a low-power mode that reduces the tip temperature to 200 °C.

The Idle Mode LED is static (not pulsing) purple.

Picking up a resting iron wakes it from Idle Mode, and the tip will automatically heat back up to your set temperature.

When powered by a Portable Power Station, warming from Idle Mode temperature to set temperature will only take a few seconds.

While Idle Mode can be disabled, we recommend leaving it enabled to extend tip life.
