5. Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the power strip from its packaging.
- Inspect: Check the device for any visible damage. Do not use if damaged.
- Plug In: Insert the TESSAN TS-301-DE power strip directly into a standard EU wall socket. Ensure it is firmly seated.
- Power On: Press the master power switch on the top of the cube. The indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the power strip is active and ready for use.
6. Operating Instructions
Once the power strip is plugged in and the master switch is on, you can begin using its features:
- Using AC Outlets: Plug your appliances directly into the three AC outlets located on different sides of the cube. The design prevents larger plugs from blocking adjacent sockets.
- Using USB Ports: Connect your USB-powered devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.) to the USB-A or USB-C ports using appropriate charging cables. The power strip will automatically detect and deliver the optimal charging current up to the specified maximums.
- Master Switch: Use the master switch to conveniently turn off power to all connected AC outlets and USB ports simultaneously. This helps save energy when devices are not in use and provides an easy way to disconnect power.
- Indicator Light: The soft indicator light confirms that the power strip is receiving power and is operational.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the power strip from the wall socket before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, unplug the power strip and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Inspection: Periodically check the power strip for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
8. Troubleshooting
- No power to outlets/USB ports:
- Ensure the power strip is securely plugged into a functioning wall socket.
- Check if the master power switch is pressed to the 'ON' position and the indicator light is illuminated.
- Verify that the wall socket itself is working by plugging in another device.
- The overload protection may have been triggered. Unplug all devices, wait a few minutes, and then press the master switch to reset. Reduce the total load if it was overloaded.
- Device not charging via USB:
- Ensure the power strip is powered on.
- Check the USB cable for damage and ensure it is properly connected to both the power strip and your device.
- Try a different USB port or cable.
- Some devices may require specific charging protocols not supported by the power strip (e.g., proprietary fast charging).
- Overheating:
- Immediately unplug the power strip and all connected devices.
- Ensure the total power consumption of connected devices does not exceed 2500W.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the power strip.
