Operating Instructions
Voltage Conversion
The FOVAL converter automatically steps down input voltage from 100-240V (common in many countries) to 110-120V, which is standard for US electronic devices. This allows safe operation of your 110V appliances abroad.

Charging Devices
Once plugged in, the converter provides power through its 2 AC outlets and 4 USB charging ports.
- AC Outlets: Use these for devices requiring a standard 110V AC power supply, such as hair straighteners, curling irons, CPAP machines, electric shavers, electric toothbrushes, laptops, and other electronic devices up to 200W.
- USB Charging Ports: The four USB ports provide a total output of DC 5V/8.4A (2.4A per port max). These are ideal for charging smartphones, tablets, cameras, and other USB-powered devices.

Maintenance
- Keep the converter clean and free from dust. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Avoid dropping the device or exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture.
Troubleshooting
If the converter stops functioning or an indicator light changes:
- No Power Output: Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the converter and the wall outlet. Ensure the wall outlet is active.
- Auto Shutdown: If the converter automatically shuts down, it may be due to surge protection, over-heating, short-circuiting, or overload. Disconnect all devices, wait a few minutes for it to cool down, and then reconnect. Ensure the total wattage of connected devices does not exceed 200W.
- Device Not Charging: Verify that your device is compatible with 110V AC power or 5V USB charging. Check the device's power requirements against the converter's maximum wattage (200W).
- Fan Noise: The fan is designed for quiet operation. If you notice unusual or loud fan noise, discontinue use and contact customer support.
