2. Safety Information and Important Warnings
IMPORTANT: This universal power adapter is NOT a voltage converter.
It does not convert voltage from 220V to 110V or vice versa. Ensure that your electronic devices are dual voltage compatible (typically indicated by "100-240V, 50/60Hz" printed on the device or its power adapter) before plugging them into the AC socket. Using non-dual voltage appliances like hair dryers, curling irons, or straighteners with this adapter in a different voltage region can cause damage to your device and the adapter, and poses a safety risk.

3. Setup and Plug Selection
The EPICKA Universal Travel Adapter features retractable plugs for various regions. To select the appropriate plug type:
- Identify the required plug type for your destination (e.g., US/AUS, EU, UK).
- Locate the corresponding slider on the side of the adapter.
- Press and hold the button on the slider, then push the slider forward to extend the plug.
- To retract the plug, press the button on the slider and push the plug back into the adapter until it locks in place.

4. Operating Instructions
Once the correct plug is extended and inserted into a wall outlet, you can begin charging your devices:
- AC Socket: Plug your dual-voltage appliance (e.g., laptop charger, camera charger) into the universal AC socket on the front of the adapter. The maximum power supported is 1100W at 110V and 2400W at 240V.
- USB-A Ports: Connect your USB-A charging cables to any of the four USB-A ports. Each port provides 2.4A output, with a total maximum output of 5.6A.
- USB-C Port: Connect your USB-C charging cable to the dedicated USB-C port. This port provides 3A output.
You can charge up to 6 devices simultaneously (1 via AC socket, 4 via USB-A, 1 via USB-C).

5. Maintenance
The EPICKA Universal Travel Adapter is designed for durability. In case of an overload, the built-in 10A fuse may blow to protect your devices and the adapter. A spare fuse is included with the unit, typically located in a small compartment.
To replace the fuse:
- Unplug the adapter from the wall outlet and disconnect all devices.
- Locate the fuse compartment (often a small, removable tray or cap) on the adapter.
- Carefully open the compartment and remove the blown fuse.
- Insert a new 10A replacement fuse. Ensure you use only 10A fuses; using incorrect specifications could lead to incompatibility or damage.
- Close the fuse compartment securely.
For purchasing additional replacement fuses, search for "Epicka replacement fuse" on Amazon.
6. Troubleshooting
Adapter Not Powering On / Devices Not Charging:
- Check if the adapter is securely plugged into the wall outlet.
- Verify that the correct regional plug is fully extended and locked.
- Check the adapter's fuse. If it has blown, replace it as per the Maintenance section.
- Ensure your devices are properly connected to the USB ports or AC socket.
Device Damage / Adapter Malfunction:
- Confirm that the device you are attempting to power is dual voltage compatible (100-240V). This adapter is NOT a voltage converter. High-power appliances (e.g., hair dryers, coffee makers) that are not dual voltage should NOT be used with this adapter.
- Ensure the total power consumption of devices plugged into the AC socket does not exceed the adapter's maximum power rating (1100W at 110V, 2400W at 240V). Overloading can cause the fuse to blow or damage the unit.
