Manual pump works fine, but electric pumps do not read psi, but do inflate

TLDR: Basically, only the included manual pump worked properly and showed the current PSI reading. The 2 electric pumps I tried, did inflate the board, but do not show current PSI levels while inflating. What am I doing wrong? Or do electric pumps not work? brand: ROC paddle board

I just got a ROC paddle board and need help. I was able to inflate the board with the included manual pump, and the current PSI gauge works and the boards inflated correctly with the included manual pump.

However, when I tried to inflate the boards with an electric pump for SUPs with auto shut off, the PSI gauge current reading only showed 0.0 the entire time, but the board did inflate properly, it just did not show the current PSI on my electric pump so I had to switch to the manual to make sure I didn’t overfill and when switching to manual, it showed the PSI was at 8, so it was filled enough to where the current PSI reading should have shown on my electric pump.

Thinking that my electric pump was not working, I tried another electric pump, and the current PSI gauge on that one also showed 0.0 even when getting past 5 PSI.

What should I do? Thank you
