6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your NOCO GC010 X-Connect 12V Female Plug Accessory:

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the accessory with a dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Regularly check the cables and connectors for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Ensure the watertight seals are intact.
• Storage: Store the accessory in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Fuse Replacement: If the accessory stops providing power, the internal fuse may need replacement. Consult your NOCO charger's manual for specific fuse replacement instructions, as the GC010 has a built-in, non-user-replaceable fuse for its internal protection.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your GC010 accessory, consider the following:

• No Power Output:
  • Ensure the X-Connect connection to the charger is secure.
  • Verify that the 12V device is properly plugged into the female socket.
  • Check if the compatible NOCO charger is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Confirm the 12V device itself is operational and not drawing excessive current that might trip the internal fuse.
• Loose Connection: If connections feel loose, ensure they are fully inserted and that there is no debris obstructing the contacts.
• Compatibility: Double-check that your charger is a NOCO G7200 or GENIUS10 model. Remember, this accessory is not compatible with NOCO Boost UltraSafe Lithium Jump Starters.
