2. Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury, always follow these basic safety precautions:

• Do not exceed the maximum power rating of 1625W (13A at 125V).
• This device is for indoor use only. Do not expose to moisture or use in wet environments.
• Do not disassemble or modify the unit. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• Keep away from children and pets.
• Ensure the power cord is fully extended when in use to prevent overheating.
• Avoid plugging high-power appliances (e.g., heaters, microwaves) into the power strip.

3. Product Features

The JACKYLED Power Strip Tower is equipped with several features for versatile power distribution:

• 12 AC Outlets: Widely spaced (2.2 inches) to accommodate larger power adapters without blocking adjacent outlets.

• 3 Independent Switches: Each tier of AC outlets has its own power switch with an indicator light, allowing you to control power to specific sections and save energy.
• Retractable 6.5ft Cord: A pure copper extension cord that can be rolled up by rotating the tower's base, providing flexible cord length management and reducing clutter.
• 45° Flat Plug: Designed for a snug fit in wall outlets, especially useful behind furniture.
• Compact Tower Design: Vertical orientation saves desk space and keeps your area tidy.
• Multi-Protection System: Includes 1050J surge protection, 13A overload protection, short-circuit protection, over-current protection, over-voltage protection, and overheat protection. RoHS and FCC certified.

4. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the power strip tower from its packaging.
2. Placement: Place the power strip on a stable, dry surface, away from heat sources or flammable materials. Its vertical design is ideal for desktops or floor use.
3. Extend the Cord: Hold the base of the tower and pull the power cord from the bottom to extend it to the desired length. The cord is 6.5 feet long.
4. Plug In: Insert the 3-prong Type B plug into a grounded wall outlet.
5. Retract the Cord (Optional): To retract excess cord, hold the base and rotate the top handle clockwise. The cord will wind back into the base, helping to manage cable clutter.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off Sections: The power strip features three independent switches, one for each tier of AC outlets. Press the switch on the desired tier to turn it on or off. The indicator light on the switch will illuminate when the section is active.
2. Using AC Outlets: Plug your devices into any of the 12 widely spaced AC outlets. Ensure the device's power requirements do not exceed the power strip's maximum rating.
3. Using USB Ports: Connect your USB-powered devices (phones, tablets, cameras, etc.) to the 2 USB-C or 4 USB-A ports. The smart charging technology will automatically detect your device and deliver optimal charging speed.
4. Rotating the Tower: The tower can be rotated 360 degrees on its base, allowing easy access to all outlets and ports from any angle.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the power strip from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, retract the power cord fully and store the unit in a cool, dry place.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord and the unit for any signs of damage. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.

7. Troubleshooting

No power to devices:

• Ensure the power strip is securely plugged into a live wall outlet.
• Check if the individual switch for the connected tier is turned on (indicator light should be blue).
• Verify that the circuit breaker on the bottom of the unit has not tripped. If it has, disconnect some devices, and press the reset button.
• Confirm that the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed 1625W.

USB ports stopped working or are blinking green continuously:

• This may indicate an issue with the USB charging circuit or an incompatible device.
• Try disconnecting all USB devices and then reconnecting them one by one.
• Power cycle the entire unit by unplugging it from the wall for a few minutes, then plugging it back in.
• If the issue persists, contact customer support.
