5. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Disconnect the power strip from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the power strip in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the power strip and its cable for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires or cracked casing. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately and contact support.

6. Troubleshooting

Device not charging or power strip not turning on:
  • Ensure the power strip is securely plugged into a functional wall outlet.
  • Verify that the power button on the power strip is pressed and illuminated.
  • Check if the total power consumption of connected devices exceeds the rated 4000W for AC outlets or 65W for USB ports. Overload protection may have been triggered.
  • Try connecting a different device to confirm if the issue is with the power strip or the device being charged.
  • For USB charging, ensure your device's cable is compatible and functioning correctly.
Slow charging speed:
  • When multiple USB ports are in use, the total 65W power is shared. Disconnect other USB devices to allow a single device to receive maximum power.
  • Ensure your device supports fast charging and that you are using a compatible cable.
Power strip feels warm:
  • It is normal for the power strip to feel slightly warm during heavy use, especially when fast charging multiple devices.
  • If it becomes excessively hot or emits a burning smell, immediately unplug it from the wall outlet and discontinue use. This may indicate an overload or internal fault.

8. User Tips

  • Optimal Placement: Due to its compact size and 1.5m cable, this power strip is ideal for use on desks, bedside tables, or in travel bags, helping to keep your space tidy.
  • Cable Management: The 2-sided design helps reduce cable clutter. Arrange your charging cables to utilize both sides efficiently for a cleaner setup.
  • Prioritize Charging: For devices requiring maximum fast charging (e.g., laptops via USB-C), try to charge them individually or with fewer other USB devices connected to ensure they receive the highest possible power output.
  • AC Outlet Control: Remember that the main power switch controls only the AC outlets. USB ports may remain active even if the AC outlets are switched off, depending on the internal design (though typically they are linked). Always unplug from the wall for complete power cut-off.
