4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your pdobq USB Type C Charger, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from the power outlet and your device before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the charger. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your pdobq USB Type C Charger, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not charging | Loose connection, faulty power outlet, incompatible device, or damaged cable/charger. | Ensure all connections are secure. Try a different power outlet. Verify your device is USB-C compatible. Inspect the cable and charger for visible damage. If damaged, discontinue use. |
| Slow charging speed | Device drawing less power, background applications, or using a non-optimal power outlet. | Close unnecessary applications on your device. Ensure the charger is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a USB hub or extension cord with other devices. The charger automatically outputs suitable power, so ensure your device supports faster charging. |
| Charger feels hot | Normal operation during high power output, or potential overload. | It is normal for the charger to become warm during use. If it becomes excessively hot or emits a burning smell, immediately disconnect it from the power outlet and the device. The charger has over-heat protection. |
| Switch TV Dock Mode not working | Incorrect power supply, loose connections, or dock issue. | Ensure the pdobq charger is connected directly to the dock's power input. Verify HDMI connection to the TV. Re-seat the Switch console in the dock. This charger is specifically designed to support Switch TV Dock Mode with 15V2.6A output. |
