- Handling: Avoid dropping or subjecting the charger to physical shock.
- Cable Care: Always unplug cables by gripping the connector, not the cable itself, to prevent damage.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your charger, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Device not charging:
- Ensure the charger is properly plugged into a live power outlet.
- Check if the charging cable is securely connected to both the charger and your device.
- Try a different charging cable to rule out cable issues.
- Test with a different device to confirm the charger is functioning. - Slow charging:
- Verify that your device and cable support fast charging protocols (e.g., PD, QC) and that you are using the correct port (e.g., Type-C1 for 100W output).
- If multiple devices are connected, the power output per port may be reduced due to intelligent power distribution. Disconnect other devices to see if charging speed improves for a specific device.
- Ensure your cable is rated for the desired wattage (e.g., a 100W cable for 100W charging). - Intermittent or oscillating charging (e.g., for Poco F4 GT):
- This can occur due to compatibility issues between the device, cable, and charger, or if the cable does not support the required wattage for stable fast charging.
- Ensure your cable is a high-quality, certified cable that supports the specific fast charging protocol and wattage required by your device (e.g., a 240W cable for high-power devices).
- Try a different port on the charger, or reduce the number of devices being charged simultaneously. - Charger overheating:
- Disconnect all devices and unplug the charger immediately.
- Ensure the charger is used in a well-ventilated area and not covered.
- If overheating persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
9. User Tips
- For optimal fast charging, always use high-quality cables that are rated for the maximum wattage your device and the charger port can handle.
- When charging high-power devices like laptops, prioritize using the Type-C1 port for its full 100W output.
- If you experience inconsistent charging, especially with specific devices, try using a different, higher-rated cable or charging the device individually to isolate the issue.
