2. Setup and Installation

Before connecting the adapter to your device, carefully follow these steps to ensure correct voltage and tip selection.

1. Verify Device Voltage: Check the required input voltage of your electronic device. This information is usually found on the device itself, its original power adapter, or in its instruction manual. The SoulBay adapter supports 3V, 4.5V, 5V, 6V, 7.5V, 9V, and 12V DC output.
2. Set Adapter Voltage: Locate the red rotary switch on the adapter. Use the small key provided in the package to rotate the switch and align the arrow with your device's required voltage (e.g., 5V, 9V).
