6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Converter not powering on. | No power from wall outlet, switch is OFF, or blown thermal fuse. | Check wall outlet. Ensure ON/OFF switch is engaged. If still no power, the thermal fuse may have activated due to overload; consult service personnel. |
| Device not receiving power. | Incorrect voltage setting, device power exceeds converter capacity, or loose connection. | Verify voltage selection switch matches input voltage. Ensure device wattage is within 300W (150W for continuous use). Check all connections are secure. |
| Unusual buzzing sound. | Normal operation for some units, especially under load. | A low buzzing sound can be normal. If the sound is excessively loud or accompanied by smoke/burning smell, immediately unplug the unit and contact support. |
