4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Using the Power Outlets

• Ensure the power strip is switched "ON" (illuminated switch).
• Plug your electrical devices into the available 45-degree angled outlets. The angled design allows for easier connection of multiple large or angled plugs without blocking adjacent sockets.
• Always ensure plugs are fully inserted.
• Do not overload the power strip. The total power consumption of all connected devices must not exceed the maximum rating specified in the Specifications section.

4.2 Using the USB Charging Ports

• The power strip features two USB charging ports (5V DC, 2.1A total output).
• Connect your USB-powered devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, small electronics) using their respective USB charging cables to the USB ports on the power strip.
• Charging will begin automatically if the power strip is switched "ON".
• The 2.1A total output is shared between the two ports. If two devices are connected, the current will be distributed.

4.3 On/Off Safety Switch

The integrated 2-pole illuminated switch controls the power supply to all outlets and USB ports. Press the switch to turn the power strip ON (lighted) or OFF (unlighted). Switching off the power strip completely disconnects all connected devices from the mains, enhancing safety and saving energy.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Before cleaning, always unplug the power strip from the wall outlet and ensure all connected devices are removed. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the power strip in a dry, dust-free environment.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power strip and its cable for any signs of wear or damage. If damage is found, do not use the product.
