Setup and Configuration

The Go Travel Worldwide Grounded Adapter offers versatile plug configurations to suit various global power outlets. Follow these steps to configure the adapter for your destination:

1. Identify Required Plug Type: Determine the plug type used in your destination country.
2. Activate Sliding Pins: The main adapter unit features three sliding plug faces. Press the button on top of the adapter and slide out the relevant pins for North American, UK, or AUS/Chinese configurations. Ensure the pins are fully extended and locked into place before use.
3. Attach Detachable Euro Adapter (if needed): For European (Schuko) sockets, attach the separate detachable Euro adapter to the main unit. This converts 3-pin earthed plugs to fit most EU sockets.

Safety Information

Your safety is paramount. Please adhere to the following safety guidelines when using the Go Travel Worldwide Grounded Adapter:

• This adapter is designed for small electrical devices only. Do not exceed the maximum wattage rating of the adapter (e.g., 1575W MAX for USA, 3250W MAX for other configurations).
