8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to connected devices. | Power center not plugged in, wall outlet not working, circuit breaker tripped. | Ensure power center is securely plugged in. Test wall outlet with another device. Reset the power center's circuit breaker if tripped. |
| USB ports not charging. | Device not compatible, cable faulty, power center not receiving power. | Check device compatibility. Try a different USB cable. Ensure the power center is powered on. |
| Power indicator light is off. | No power to the unit, surge protection compromised. | Check wall outlet.
