3. Operating Instructions

Once the Kircuit AC/DC Adapter is properly connected to both the power outlet and your Doxie Go scanner, the scanner will begin to receive power or charge its internal battery. No further action is required for the adapter itself.

  • Ensure the adapter is always connected to a functional power outlet.
  • For optimal charging, avoid using the scanner extensively while it is charging, especially during initial charge cycles.
  • Disconnect the adapter from the power outlet when not in use for extended periods.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your AC/DC adapter.

  • Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the adapter. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents. Ensure the adapter is unplugged before cleaning.
  • Storage: Store the adapter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling the cable to prevent damage.
  • Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or fraying. Discontinue use if damage is observed.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Kircuit AC/DC Adapter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • Scanner Not Receiving Power/Charging:

    • Test the wall outlet with another device to confirm it is functional.
    • Check the adapter cable for any visible damage. If damaged, discontinue use.
    • Verify that the adapter is compatible with your specific Doxie Go scanner model.
    • If the scanner still does not power on or charge, the issue may lie with the scanner itself rather than the adapter. Consult your scanner's manual or manufacturer for further assistance.
  • Adapter Overheating:
    • Unplug the adapter immediately.
    • Ensure the adapter is used in a well-ventilated area and not covered.
    • If overheating persists, discontinue use and contact support.
