Operating Instructions

3. Secure Connections: Ensure all device plugs are fully inserted into the wall tap's outlets.
4. Unplug When Not in Use: For safety and energy conservation, unplug devices from the wall tap when they are not in use for extended periods.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the wall tap from the wall outlet before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or immerse in water.
• Storage: When not in use, store the wall tap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the wall tap for any signs of wear or damage. Replace immediately if any damage is found.

Troubleshooting

• No Power to Devices:
  • Ensure the wall tap is fully and securely plugged into the wall outlet.
  • Check if the wall outlet itself is functioning by plugging in another known working device directly into it.
  • Verify that the total wattage of connected devices does not exceed the wall tap's maximum capacity (1875W).
  • Check your home's circuit breaker or fuse box; a tripped breaker or blown fuse may be the cause.
• Wall Tap Feels Warm:
  • A slight warmth is normal during operation. However, if the wall tap feels excessively hot, immediately unplug all devices and the wall tap from the wall. This indicates an overload or malfunction.
  • Reduce the number of devices connected or use devices with lower power consumption.
• Loose Connection:
  • If plugs feel loose in the wall tap's outlets, discontinue use. A loose connection can cause arcing and fire hazards.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, discontinue use and contact customer support.
