3. Setup
3.1 Selecting the Correct Plug Configuration
The Ventev Global Charginghub 300 is equipped with four different AC prong configurations to accommodate various international outlets. To select the appropriate plug:
- Identify the type of electrical outlet available at your location.
- Locate the corresponding slider on the side of the Charginghub 300. Each slider corresponds to a specific plug type (e.g., US, EU, UK, AU/NZ).
- Gently slide the desired prong configuration outwards until it locks into place. Ensure only one set of prongs is extended at a time.

Important: Ensure the selected prongs are fully extended and locked before inserting the adapter into a wall outlet. To retract, press the release button (if present) or gently push the slider back until the prongs are flush with the adapter body.
4. Operating Instructions

4.2 Charging Devices
The Charginghub 300 allows you to charge devices via its universal AC outlet and two USB ports simultaneously.
- For AC Devices: Plug your device's power cord (U.S. two-prong or three-prong) into the universal AC outlet on the front of the Charginghub 300.
- For USB Devices: Connect your USB charging cable to one of the two USB ports on the side of the adapter, then connect the other end to your device (e.g., smartphone, tablet). The USB ports provide a combined output of 2.4A for rapid charging.
Important Safety Note: This product is a travel adapter, not a voltage converter. It adapts the plug shape to fit different outlets but does not change the electrical voltage. Ensure your electronic devices are compatible with the local voltage (typically 110-240V) before plugging them into the AC outlet. Most modern electronic devices (laptops, phones, tablets) are dual voltage. However, high-power appliances like hair dryers, curling irons, or electric shavers often require a voltage converter in addition to an adapter. Using a non-compatible device with incorrect voltage can damage the device or the adapter.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the Charginghub 300 from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use, retract all prongs and store the adapter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Fuse Replacement: The Charginghub 300 contains a replaceable fuse for protection against overcurrent. If the adapter stops functioning, check the fuse compartment (refer to Image 2.2 for location). Replace with a fuse of the same rating (2.5A 250V). Always unplug the adapter before attempting fuse replacement.
