Package Contents
The package includes the following items:

Setup Instructions
- Locate your vehicle's 12V/24V cigarette lighter socket. This is typically found in the dashboard or center console.
- Insert the ANDHOT car charger firmly into the cigarette lighter socket. Ensure it is fully seated.
- Upon successful insertion, the blue LED indicator on the charger will illuminate, confirming that the charger is receiving power.

Operating Instructions
- Once the charger is properly installed and the blue LED is lit, it is ready for use.
- Connect up to two devices simultaneously using their compatible USB charging cables.
- The charger will automatically detect the power requirements of your connected devices and deliver the appropriate current for efficient charging.
- Important Note on Dual Charging: The charger provides a maximum total output of 2.4 Amps. When two devices are connected, this current is shared between the two ports. Each device will receive approximately 1.2 Amps. This is suitable for most smartphones but may result in slower charging for devices that typically require higher amperage (e.g., some tablets).

Maintenance
- Keep the car charger dry and clean. Avoid exposure to liquids or excessive moisture.
- Do not expose the charger to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Clean the exterior of the charger with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Do not attempt to disassemble, modify, or repair the charger. This will void any warranty and may cause damage or injury.
- Disconnect the charger from the vehicle's power outlet when not in use for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Device Not Charging:
- Check Connection: Ensure the car charger is firmly seated in the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
- Vehicle Power: Verify that your vehicle's power outlet is active. Some vehicles require the ignition to be on for the outlet to function.
- USB Cable: Ensure the USB charging cable is securely connected to both the charger and your device. Try using a different USB cable to rule out a faulty cable.
- LED Indicator: Check if the blue LED indicator on the charger is lit. If not, the charger may not be receiving power from the vehicle.
- Test with Another Device: If possible, test the charger with a different device to confirm its functionality.
Slow Charging:
- Current Distribution: Remember that when two devices are connected, the 2.4A total output is shared, providing approximately 1.2A per port. This may result in slower charging for devices that can accept higher input currents.
- Device Usage: Close any power-intensive applications running in the background on your device during charging.
- Cable Quality: Ensure you are using a high-quality USB cable that supports efficient charging.
