2. Setup Instructions

1. Unpack the Device: Carefully remove the G-POWER charging station from its packaging.
2. Remove Protective Films: Peel off any protective films from the display screen and the wireless charging pad.
3. Connect Power: Plug the provided power cable into the charging station's power input port and then into a standard 100-240V AC wall outlet.
4. Power On: The device should automatically power on, and the 3.5-inch TFT screen will illuminate, displaying initial information.

3. Operating the Charging Station

3.1 Connecting Devices

• USB-C Ports (PD3.1): Use the four USB-C ports (C1-C4) for fast charging compatible laptops, tablets, and smartphones. These ports support up to 100W output individually.
• USB-A Ports (QC3.0): Use the four USB-A ports (A1-A4) for charging smartphones, power banks, and other USB-A compatible devices. These ports support up to 22.5W output individually.
• Wireless Charging: Place a Qi-compatible device (e.g., smartphone) on the magnetic wireless charging pad on top of the station. Ensure proper alignment for optimal charging. This pad provides up to 15W fast wireless charging.

3.2 Understanding the Smart Display

The 3.5-inch TFT color screen provides comprehensive real-time information for each connected port and the wireless charging pad. You can monitor:

• Voltage (V): The electrical potential difference.
• Current (A): The flow rate of electric charge.
• Power (W): The rate at which electrical energy is transferred.
• Accumulated Charge (mAh): The total charge delivered over time.
• Temperature: Internal temperature of the charging station.
• Charging Time: Duration of the current charging session.

The display also shows current and voltage curves, offering a visual representation of the charging dynamics.

4. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the power cable before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Storage: Store the charging station in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Management: To maintain a tidy workspace and prevent damage, organize charging cables neatly.

5. Troubleshooting

• Device Not Charging:
  • Ensure the charging station is properly plugged into a live power outlet.
  • Check if the power cable is securely connected to the station.
  • Verify that the charging cable connected to your device is functional and correctly inserted into both the device and the charging station port.
  • Confirm your device supports the charging protocol of the port you are using (e.g., PD for USB-C, QC for USB-A).
• Slow Charging:
  • Ensure you are using a high-quality charging cable that supports fast charging.
  • Check the power output displayed on the screen for the specific port. If multiple high-power devices are connected, the total 160W output may be distributed, potentially reducing individual port speeds.
  • Some devices may limit charging speed if they are too hot or too cold.
• Display Not Working:
  • Unplug and re-plug the power cable to reset the device.
  • Ensure the device is receiving power.
• Wireless Charging Not Working:
  • Ensure your device is Qi-compatible.
  • Remove any thick cases or metallic objects from your device that might interfere with wireless charging.
  • Adjust the position of your device on the charging pad to ensure proper alignment.

7. User Tips

• For optimal fast charging, always use high-quality, certified charging cables that match the capabilities of your device and the charging station's ports.
• When charging multiple devices, especially high-power ones like laptops, be aware that the total 160W output is shared. The station intelligently manages power, but individual port speeds might adjust.
• Utilize the smart display to monitor charging parameters. This can help diagnose slow charging issues or confirm if a device is receiving the expected power.
• Keep the charging station's vents clear to ensure proper heat dissipation, especially during heavy use.
• The compact design is ideal for desktop organization. Arrange your cables to maximize space and minimize clutter.
