3. QC 3.0 Port: For Quick Charge compatible devices, use the QC 3.0 USB-A port for rapid charging.
4. Standard USB-A Ports: Use the standard 5V/2.4A USB-A ports for other USB-powered devices such as smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and wearables.
5. Placement: Place devices vertically in the slots between the dividers. Ensure the weight of the devices is supported by the charging station base, not solely by the dividers.

  • Verify the power switch is in the 'On' position.
  • Check if the charging cable is properly connected to both the device and the charging station port.
  • Try a different charging cable or port to rule out a faulty cable or port.
  • Confirm your device is compatible with the selected charging port (e.g., USB-C PD for laptops, QC 3.0 for fast-charge phones).
• Slow Charging:
  • Ensure you are using the correct port for your device's fast charging capabilities (e.g., USB-C PD or QC 3.0).
  • Using multiple high-power devices simultaneously may distribute the total wattage, potentially slowing down individual charging speeds.
  • Check the quality of your charging cable; low-quality cables can impede charging speed.
• Dividers Popping Out:
