Operation

Once properly set up, the power adapter will supply continuous power to your compatible device. No further user interaction is typically required for the adapter itself during operation.

• Ensure the adapter is placed in an area with adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.
• Avoid placing heavy objects on the power cord or adapter.
• Disconnect the adapter from the power outlet when not in use for extended periods.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the adapter from all power sources before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the adapter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture when not in use. Avoid tightly coiling the cables to prevent damage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord and adapter for any signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or discoloration. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately.

Troubleshooting

• No Power to Device:
  • Check if the AC power cord is securely plugged into both the adapter and the wall outlet.
  • Ensure the DC plug is fully inserted into your device's power port.
  • Verify the wall outlet is functioning by testing it with another device.
  • Confirm your device's power requirements (voltage, current, wattage) match the adapter's output.
• Adapter Overheating:
  • Ensure the adapter is in a well-ventilated area and not covered.
  • Verify that the connected device's power consumption does not exceed the adapter's 36W maximum output.
  • If overheating persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
• Loose Connection:
  • If the DC plug feels loose in your device's port, it may indicate an incompatible plug size. Refer to the specifications section for the correct DC connector dimensions (5.5mm x 2.5mm).
