6. Maintenance
The Westell Power Supply requires minimal maintenance:
- Cleaning: Disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet and the device. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use, store the power supply in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Cable Care: Avoid bending or kinking the power cable excessively, as this can damage the internal wires.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Westell Power Supply, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to device | Power supply not plugged in; outlet not working; faulty cable connection; device issue | Ensure power supply is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check device's power input. Try a different outlet. |
| Device not charging/functioning correctly | Incorrect voltage/current; damaged power supply; device fault | Verify device requires 12V 1A. Inspect power supply for damage. If issues persist, consult device manual or contact support. |
| Power supply is hot | Normal operation; poor ventilation; overload | Some warmth is normal. Ensure adequate ventilation around the power supply. Disconnect if excessively hot and allow to cool. Ensure device requirements do not exceed 1A. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, discontinue use and contact customer support.
